More new photo's

the second game was WH40K with orks going up against the mighty verdigris angels (a Dark angel successor chapter) I think the pictures speak for themselves and you can guess who won (not me)!

Long promised photos

So here as promised are some photos of the games I played recently with my son Tom. this is from the imaginary 19th century British vs Germans battle using Warhammer Great War rules.

when I get through these I'll probably move onto some 28mm WW1 or some el-cid islamic armies, although I've got some itching to paint some more space marines or possibly some plastic vikings from gripping beast or............
