Space Hulk, Eh?

Posted on September 13, 2014 by Quirkworthy

After the success of DreadFleet, I heard various “never again” rumours from GW. Then we had the Blood Bowl new edition rumours that came to nothing. To me, that sounded like a far better idea than Dreadfleet ever was (even though … Continue reading →

Don’t Use That, Use This!

Posted on September 8, 2014 by Quirkworthy

Slight change of plan. Remember those Mars Attacks miniatures I showed you yesterday? Well I had to give them back for photography. Still haven’t got the whole shipment of those things in yet. However, I’ve managed to replace them with … Continue reading →

Put It Another Way

Posted on September 7, 2014 by Quirkworthy

As the comments on my post on diversity seem to be drifting this way anyway, perhaps it’s worth starting a topic about new recruits. Gaming seems to be doing pretty well these days. The rise of English language Euro games, … Continue reading →

Zen Spam

Posted on August 8, 2014 by Quirkworthy

Added a Dungeon Sagas Menu

Posted on August 6, 2014 by Quirkworthy

I’ve added a DS tab to the black menu bar at the top. All of the DS articles will be linked on that page, so if you want to link to anything, that’s probably the most convenient catch-all. Just thought … Continue reading →

Replying To A Reply

Posted on August 3, 2014 by Quirkworthy

Well, more of a thought inspired by a thought inspired by a thought. I apologise in advance if this is a little incoherent – I’m not feeling very clear this morning. Anyway, thought I’d put it out there 😉 My … Continue reading →

Posted on August 1, 2014 by Quirkworthy
