Hi guys, I don't think I've brought this up before :D These little boys on TV I keep seeing with bowl haircuts. For example Shane in Weeds or that nauseating brat in the recent Star Warts films and many others who utterly fail to spring to mind at the moment :D Is it just televisual shorthand...

Hi there, my spreadsheet is at home so no precise figures, just the gist: My Gallery has lost most of it's registered votes that I'm able to view as a subscriber to the site. Seems to have happened over the last couple of months. Total number of votes has not changed, just that registered have...

Hi all, I listen to the Bad Dice Podcast which has made me aware of Rankings HQ.

Worth a listen for a bit...

Hi Guys, just a (slightly late) heads up, Otherworld Miniatures currently have a sale on. New Minotaur New Wraiths Navarro's Spiders Ghouls Satyr ..and still tempting me, all the more after playing with water based oils at DragonReach's IMP demo, the Giant Slug and many more...

A couple of thoughts about basing / plinthing minis for competition after attending the Sheffield Irregulars IMP event. Stand them on something people! Many minis on the table were just on gaming bases. Absolutely fine & all with regards to the product for show but when I looked (for voting on...

I was just going to PM Skelettets about this one as I know he likes his big muscley monsters but the rear view amused me so much I thought I'd share! http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20&products_id=255&zenid=eb5312404e2b29919cf20c156a4402c9 £15...

Hi all, anyone listening to any hobby related podcasts? I've been enjoying the Bad Dice Podcast - a WHFB Tournament centred show, runs 1-2 hours, UK based. The two Bens natter on about games, tournaments, painting, conversions & getting very drunk. I find it perfectly listenable to background...

Hi all, I picked up one of these today... ...got a load at work so I bought one for myself. Apart from the easy access, the main appeal was that it goes into a standard screwfit socket, which means it'll fit in my ancient Ikea living room lamp that'll only take a max. 60w bulb :) I don't know...

Just need to vent folks, please bear with me :) A tricky couple of days at work, plenty to do & my team-mate is away. Not unmanageable but tiring. Get home tonight, open post, Landlord's contractor is coming round next Thursday PM to measure up for a new front door & needs access to the...
