Dwarven Forge has arrived…

The Red Samurai are painted and based ready to fight.  With their red lacquered armour they are useful as clan allies to either force.  They are based on the Red Devils of the Ii Clan and the followers of Ii Naomasa.

Ronin rules from Osprey arrived this week. I have prepared an introductory mini-campaign with Bushi versus Sohei Buntai. Hope we get to play soon.

Have also been painting up a new Red Samurai unit.

Updated and completed the Bolt Action AAR from our earlier game; Rathaus.

Lord of the Rings Card Game:  Khazad Dum; Into the Pit

Phil, Bruce Mike and Andy tried to take this on.  It was difficult but the heroes battled through and even defeated the Goblin Patrol.  However an unlucky run of bad draws on the way up led to a massive increase in Threat causing the adventurers to lose!  It was so close.  This is a much harder adventure than it first seems.

Completed the Grimhammer Dwarves

See them in the Dwarven Gallery.
