Hey everyone! Do you ever wonder about those lucky dice that always roll high, or those you’ll not touch because they give you more nat1’s than the others?
Well wonder no more because Tom and Gaz are here to talk to you about diy dice balance testing.
That’s right with just a bowl, a little water and salt, lots of salt you can see if your trusty dice is properly balanced or if the weight distribution is off, giving you a ‘loaded’ dice.

Let us know if you’ve tried this for yourselves.

Hey Everyone!
We've been busy lately, but Gaz has been inspired to make a Legacy Skaven lis for The Old World. Some say he's just finding a use for those gorgeous rat minis that came in the Skaventide box for AOS to save them, from the scrapheap and those people would probably be correct!

Let us know what you think? what would you do differently?

Gaz has embraced Warhammer the Old World and has been building a legacy Skaven army by mixing existing games workshop miniatures with some carefully curated ...

So Tom has been doing deep dive into just who Susan Twist (the actor who has shown up in every episode) could be playing and he’s come up with this classic 4th Doctor villain.
Could we be about to encounter yet another classic who villain in our season finale?

Is there a Doctor in the house? No? There wasn’t for most of 73 yards, the recent episode of Doctor Who either!

Tom’s here to take a look at the mystery of Ruby Sunday and just what power she might possibly possess…

Come join him and see if you agree.

It’s been tricky finding hobby time lately so these have been a work in progress for far longer than they should be.
But anyway. Here’s my unit of knights of the realm on foot.
Chuffed with how they turned out. They were a diversion from building and painting the Bretonnian box set after I found some superb bret-style stl files. But now it’s back to the peasantry for a bit.
Updates to follow :-)

Hey everyone!

We're back tonight with an impromptu DnD session!

Our party continue to follow the ancient Dwarfen road up under the mountain in the hopes of finding safe and secret passage to Alzidura. Having already defeated a monstrous Worm in a high stakes underground battle, what other perils await?

We'd love for you to come and join us at 8.30pm UK time where we'll hopefully see the party emerge into the ruins of the Grommune and Grom completing a pilgrimage to the ancestral home of his people.
