1. Regale us with an anecdote from a game where you really hadn’t earned the win but it was handed to you by a lucky card or die roll.

I guess the main one that comes to mind is the 40k tournament I won with necrons. My Eldest opponent had the upper hand and was on the cusp of phasing me out. He fired everything he had to clear out my destroyers but one survived. 2 came back from reanimation protocols and the other came back from the monolith. He’d basically wasted an entire turn. You don’t come back from that.

2. What is one instance where a hobby company has come through with an idea or concept that just blew you away?

GeeDubya new paint range. It’s so far advanced but easier than anything before it’s unreal. Revolutionised the painting industry I feel. Brushes that tell you what they are for, pre mixed colours, dry paints, texture and technical. It’s a golden age for terrible painters like me.

3. Transformers the Miniatures Game – Could it ever work? Why or why not? Or what about He-man or She-ra or Knight rider or the A-Team or Thundercats? (or any of the other 80’s IP’s that haven’t yet been mined…).

For me, I’d want a dzc scale cross over game. Gi Joe, Transformers, Mask, Zoids and He Man. It would be amazing. I can picture the little Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow figures now.

 

Hobby wise I have assembled my Conquest mag scenery. At last! Also lashing of nuln oil on my walking dead bases. Another bout of painting with nothing like a visible end product.
