Latest board game night

Just finished (1 AM) another board game night. It was another somewhat impromptu night deciding what we would play when we got together. Tonight, er last night, saw us play two games, Village Attacks and Dark Gothic.

I see an evil genius tapping some thermo energy to further some nefarious plan

A small find but could be a nice find. Found this at a local Value Village. Hopefully a quick paint job will see this go from toy to a seething cauldron of potentially explosive energy!

Return to VSF?

Found this at Fandom II just the other day. I may well have seen this at the store when it first came out, really not certain, I do know that I saw it online a couple of years back, and really liked the look of it, but I just could not rationalize the cost.

Return to Cairo

Recently picked up some more buildings, and some paved areas, medians, and walls from Crescent Root and was really keen to set them up with my older purchases. I had always wanted to add to my collection as I really liked the gate and towers, but when I found out that the line was about to be retired I realized that I would have to strike quickly or miss out!

Future, future project

Found in a second hand store in Ottawa.

Pulp Alley Zombie

Pre-game zombie action pictures.

I'm Baaacck....

Sort of.

Sort of because I was never truly gone, been here all summer, but then again I have not posted for months.

Why?

I have not posted because I have not had much to say. This summer has been largely devoid of miniature gaming, or any activity related to miniature gaming.

More work done towards quick siege game

Background info:
Back in the 80's and 90's I got into Warhammer, played a lot of games, bought a fortress or two, and built a lot of siege equipment, kits and from scratch. It has been three, maybe four moves since I last did any real fantasy gaming. My collection has been packed and unpacked moved and jostled many times, each time causing varying amounts of damage.

Siege time, and a need to rebuild

Last year at Cangames, I was able to buy a complete, assembled collection of old Warhammer cardboard buildings. They are very well done, they have been braced, and based, and have a real nostalgic feel to them. They also go well with my mighty fortress, released around the same time. There are 39 buildings/bridges,tents etc, and I have managed to jam them all onto the table. So, it is time to do a siege, something I have not done in a long time.

Look what just arrived!!

Promised for June, delivered in May, best Kickstarter ever!

Cangames aquisitions

  Some of this years purchases!

So another year and another Cangames convention has come and gone. As usual it is the stuff that is for sale that draws me to the event, that and a chance to scope out the state of the gaming scene in Ottawa. This was the 43rd annual convention, I still remember stumbling upon the first convention all those years ago back in 1977!!!
