Hey Everyone!

@mage thanks for hosting!

Kicking off with question responses:

1. What board, card or tabletop game would you like to see be made again in print? For me it’s the original Heroquest. I want it.

Tough call – most of the classics can be reproduced to some degree. heroquest, for instance, if you were to look at the stuff Zealot Minis creates, you can easily see where the inspiration for a lot of the terrain elements and minis comes from. So it’s just a case of snagging the dice, cards and board (or an equivalent proxy) online form somewhere. I’m sort toying with the idea of doing a Mordheim 20th anniversary project (yep, it’s been that long…) so maybe I’ll put that down? I know, nobody saw it coming…

2. What new game or hobby release has you excited? GW announced a lot of stuff recently. I could wax lyrical about it. What I want though is the new 40k pop vinyls.

Rangers of Shadow Deep. Really keen to give it a go. And the new Frostgrave wizards plastic box looks great too. 20 different head options! that kit is pretty much conversion fodder….

3. That was something new and old in my last two questions. Is there anything different you are doing lately with the hobby which you are enjoying?

Am presently enjoying revisiting ‘classic’ Warhammer armies, partly inspired by Warhammer Total war II (when it’s not crashing…) and partly by this incredible blog:

Really good content, and some well thought out alternative lists. plus every army gets an 8th (or 9th…) ed refresh so Brets no longer need to make do with 6h ed rules 🙂 Plus now I want to do a Norsca army and a Pirates of Sartosa force. Plus maybe some Estallians using historical mins… Because why work on 7 armies simultaneously when you can be doing 12?…

4. What games are you eager to play lately?

As mentioned a 2, Rangers of Shadow Deep. Also keen to play Frostgrave a bit more, get in a few more games of WHFB 8th ed and hopefully some Sharp Practice when I finish the last few units I need…

My pledge for the week will be doing a paintathon – day 1 progress here (as I’m way too lazy to retype…):
