Time for a Christmas break: wishing everyone health and happiness

After a busy month, it’s time for Wizard’s HQ to kick back, enjoy a glass of wine reflect on the past year and scheme schemes for the next twelve months.

The Shroud of The Reaper: Kings of War Tournament Report

For the last three years Christmas has only really begun once the Shroud of the Reaper has settled. This year I took my Halfings down for their final runout of the year, and third edition, at this unique event.

The Hinckley Heist (number 2): a Kings of War tournament report

The rats headed off to Hinckley for one of their last tournaments in third edition.

Thanquol’s Raiders: return of the snappy dressers

I’ve found the inspiration and direction for the nostalgia Skaven project, now I just need to get the paint brushes out.

Finishing the narrative: reflections following the Field of Kings

Last Saturday I ran my first themed narrative event, and whilst there are some lessons to learn, I couldn’t have been more pleased with how it all went.

The Hoedown at Hodenburg: a Kings of War tournament report

The rats head off to a very sunny Oxford for command dice-based shenanigans and three games of Kings of War at 1,995 points.

A blast from the past: the old rats going to Pride of the Shires

Pride of the Shires is now in its fourth year and I’m looking forward to heading down to Oxford on Saturday. For my list I decided to dust off something from second edition Kings of War to see how it works in third edition.

Back to where it all began: old rats are the best rats

Inspired by friends and feeling as though I’m on a bit of a Kings of War hiatus until we find out more about fourth edition, I decided to start a bit of a nostalgia project and collect the army I wish I’d collected when it all began.

Doing something different: a hobby and theme scored Kings of War event

I started running tournaments a few years ago and really enjoyed it… to begin with. As I went to more and more events, I got to experience some really cool variations on the standard three or four day game I was organising. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to put my finger on the sort of event I want to run, and I think I’ve finally got there.
