Greetings,
Well, it is now December, 27th and the festivities are almost over. For Christmas my wargames and hobby collection was boosted by several new additions. I will try to post a more detailed and individual post for each of the new games etc but for now I'll say that for WH40K the main additions were: Death Masque; Deathwatch Overkill; and Lost Patrol. For Warhammer: Blood Bowl (a spin off really, but still old Warhammer in my mind). For Bolt Action: Band of Brothers. There were a couple of other bits and bobs and hobby supplies but those listed were the main additions.
Best regards
Nick

Nick's News! General Update
Greetings.
It has been twelve months since my last post. I knew in advance that my 2016 would be a busy one and that there would be very little time to update my blog. This proved to be the case. I have not been totally idle hobby-wise though. I've spent a little time on my Warhammer 40K Eagle Marines, a little time on my Bolt Action Screaming Eagles, and a little time on my Flames of War forces, including a little time on some Team Yankee models.
Gaming-wise I've played a fair amount of X-Wing, particularly in the first half of the year. More recently I've been playing some Deadzone (Version 1) which I have enjoyed and I consider a great 'lunchtime' game. I've yet to play the version 2 rules but I may purchase a copy and create a hybrid version of my own which takes what are in my opinion the 'best bits' from both versions.
Christmas is just around the corner and as usual I have pre-purchased some gifts which I can 'receive' from relatives. There are some additions to some games I already own and some new models and toys to display in my study/hobby room at home.
Hopefully I will get back to regular blog updates in 2017.
Best regards
Nick

Nick's News! On the Table - Terminators
Warhammer 40,000
This is a squad of Assault Terminators which I have magnetised so that it can be armed with Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields, or with Lightning Claws.......
Nick's News! On the Table - Scouts
Warhammer 40,000
The Mighty Fifth Company needed some support from the Tenth Company adding to it and so three squads of Scouts (to make a Task Force Formation) are being added:
A little more progress has been made since first assembly a couple of months ago.
The seven man squad with bolters, and a heavy bolter:
The third squad, armed with bolters, is also taking shape now (no photo yet)

Nick's News! On the Table - Terminators
Warhammer 40,000
This Terminator Squad is next up to be added to the Mighty Fifth Company as an attached unit from the First Company. The models are the Dark Vengeance box set models which are of course supposed to be Dark Angels: Deathwing but all those Angel Wings will be Eagle Feathers.....!!

A quick update on the Devastator Squads. This is the 'ant-tank' squad with two Lascannons and two Missile Launchers......

Nick's News! On Display - Tanks
Bolt Action
These are some more photos of some Solido die cast models which have been boxed away at my parents house for many many years, Germans this time. I dug them out to see if I could employ them in my Bolt Action games but at 1/50th scale they sit a little too large on the table.
Early War models could be employed in a game of Bolt Action, if no other vehicle models were being used....
Late War Panther and Jagdpanther are huge models compared to Warlord's plastics......
