I did a short review on Halo back in my first batch of Reviews. But now I’ve played a bunch more games AND got 2 more releases. What did I summarise last time? Likes Dislikes Will I be playing it more? Yes. As well as having core I’ve ordered the Brutes starter and will be […]
So one of the games remaining on my big list of games to try was Star wars Legion. I bought the original core box (For some reason I bought 2, not sure why), and occasionally have bought more models. I think when they re-did the rules under FFG I bought some more boxes, still unopened. […]
This is an update to a previous blog post During 2024-2025 we played 20 different minis games and rated them all. The Games were as follows (and links to my recent mini-reviews for the newly tested games) Aristeia Carnevale Deadzone Halo Flashpoint Infinity JudgementEternal Champions Malediction Malifaux 4e One Page Rules Warcrow Warmachine mk4 Battletech […]
I’ve seen Greathelm knocking about on the various subreddits for months now. I backed the kickstarter and finally got around to testing the playtest rules. It’s an odd little game. 6 models a side (that’s not odd, Judgement and Aristeia have less, guild ball has the same), but played on a sheet of paper (A4 […]
Ahead of our most recent trip to Warhammer World, Scott revealed he was getting into Legion Imperialis. Essentially the newest epic scale game by GW, but set during the Horus Heresey. We bought him more stuff for his birthday and 3 weeks out from visiting WW he said he could get it all built. So […]
A few weeks ago I watched War of the Rohirrim. It was fine. A week or so after that we played Fate of the Fellowship. A Lord of the Rings board game using the “pandemic system”. It was really good. Made me want to look at the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game (MESBG). I’ve always […]
I got Daggerheart over the summer and then I got carried away and bought the limited edition. Our group decided to play Beastfeast. We really wanted to play Motherboard, but I wanted more adversaries before going ahead with that. So we settled on Beastfeast and duly started watching Delicious in Dungeon, which is…interesting. But there […]
We played Battletech a while ago and quite enjoyed it. It was in our top 10 in our big list of games. We enjoyed the mechanics and found it fun but did find it really slow. We even tried playing co-op to remove the thought process a bit and it was no quicker. However there […]
A lot of people suggested I try Trench Crusade, so we did. Going in I liked the look of some of the minis but the official ones are way overpriced for STLs. It’s very grim and nasty. It’s clearly meant as a campaign game like Necromunda so I wasn’t sure what it would play like […]
So having coming top of our Top 20 games 2025 I thought I should have a look at MCP and how it scored so highly! (It’s again worth pointing out that although we scored categories and weighted them to get the list, the individual scores were very subjective. Which is why I got unexpected results […]
There are a lot of miniatures games out there and no-one has time to play them all. But recently a friend and I have gone throw and played 12 different games. On top of that there are 8 other games we’ve played in the last year. So we went away and rated all the games […]
As I wrote in the previous blogs I’ve been trying out new games. I’ve covered 11 so far, and two more now. Previous Blogs: Battletech (A game of armored combat) I haven’t played Battletech since I had the old 2nd edition box. You know, this one: But again it was suggested on Reddit. I initially […]
As I wrote in the previous blogs I’ve been trying out new games. I’ve covered 9 so far, and two more now. Next on the list is Infinity and then Aristeia and maybe Battletech. Previous Blogs: Infinity N5 I think I tried Infinity back in N2. We liked the idea but struggled to work out […]
As I wrote in the this blog, this one, and this one, I’ve been trying out new games. I’ve covered 7 so far, and two more now. Next on the list is OPR, and Judgement. One Page Rules – Age of Fantasy This is how I started the Carnevale review a week ago: I’ve heard […]
A year ago I posted a blog based on all the skirmish games I had played a decent number of games of (here). But a number of those games I’ve gone back to since. Even only a year later, have I changed my mind? This was my summary last time: Games I Love Games I […]
As I wrote in the this blog, and this one, I’ve been trying out new games. I’ve covered 5 so far, and two more now. Deadzone This is how I started the Carnevale review a week ago: I’ve looked at Carnevale a few times but never really been that impressed. It always just looked okay. […]
As I wrote in the last blog, I’ve been trying out new games. I covered 3 last time, and two more now. Carnevale I’ve looked at Carnevale a few times but never really been that impressed. It always just looked okay. But since I was on a new game train I thought why not. All […]
At Games expo there were so many games I became obsessed with the idea of fining a new minis game to play. I put a post on Reddit and got like 40 suggestions. Lots I threw straight out due to the minis or theme or looking at the rules. But I still had about 30 […]
So as discussed in this post I took Apocalypse to an event. It didn’t go well but I learned a few things. Apocalypse He is sort of hard to use well. That’s true of most high threat models though I think. He doesn’t have any action compression for one, no real way to move and […]
