Bit Early isnt it?
Never too early for a Guinness 🙂
What day is it?I don’t even know anymore
Use the Weekender to keep track!
Gawds. I know days are hard right now but I was convinced it was Saturday 😮
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday to one and all.
This weekend i’ve mostly been rooting around websites in a ” Not Salute ” purchasing frenzy ( even under a lockdown the wallet feels the fear ).Hotfooting it to me are various pieces for SPQR,Frostgrave and SAGA ( Age of Fantasy with a little magic ).
@warzan You might find some interesting stuff in this lot

@torros that was the range I was going to suggest too
wow another timewarp of malaise and its xlbs
thankyou guys….bless you and your family in these times
I know why it takes @lloyd to paint anything. A photo after every brushstroke is not conducive to speed painting
Though I was wondering if you ran all his photos through an animation program would we get a little stop motion film out of it all
WTF….Have you had @dignity trawling the internet while powered up on energy drinks and PLASTIC crack.
As I can’t decide I’m going to pick 3 Battles
Battle of Gaugamela 331bc Persians vs Macedonians
Battle of Tours 732 AD Franks and Burgundians vs Arab
Battle of Qadesh around 1274 BC Egypt vs Hittites
Happy Sunday!
@warzan if you’d like we can jump on Tabletop Simulator and try out your game to keep making progress in the quarantine.
The Battle will take a bit of thinking but I’ll leave this comment now so I don’t have to go through a million pages to find it again
Mongols v China
it’s pronounced chynnna
Chinnner yeah, got it 😀
I remembered it was Sunday, as got a joint of meat out to defrost, plus I have a daily what day is it mantra(even when at work).
Happy Sunday!
PS. Sorry @warzan.
happy Sunday everyone
I am back and everything is better.
even did hobby (good distraction).
my wife has done the covid test and is free from the little monsters ?.
I found Lloyd’s hobby very inspiring ?
good day from me and cuckoo from the parrot he’s back with the cuckoo sound ? better than the ambulance sound he’s doing lately ?
Welcome back mate – really glad you guys are doing better.
@warzan also here is a list of minis with a picture you might find something to use

plastic butt cracks?
Do I really want to watch this episode…
yes, well of course *g*
Great photo journey Lloyd, don’t listen to the heathens you keep up the great work. Recreation of historical battle with Wofun style flats . . . The problem with a lot of the big well known battles is that I started thinking about how yeah wouldn’t it be great to do Waterloo, Hastings, Canae, but then my mind started thinking about how much more awesome it’d be with proper figures in 28mm, an unachievable task but then I saw a youtube vid a few years back of a guy who had painted, in 6mm mind you, 250,000 figures for Waterloo… Read more »
an American guy? I think I saw that myself insane commitment to a single task. The problem with Waterloo say in 28mm as the guys in Edinburgh showed it takes a university hall to set it up. The alternative is to go the other way and play it on a ground scale that fits into your house and use 28s but then you’ll only have a few minis to represent hundreds
Great show guys, thinking of getting MEG for the 15mm bits I’ve got, nice overview by Gerry so very helpful. Need to figure out the best approach as I hear theres a new version on the way.
As fas as we can tell and maybe @avernos might confirm that the new just has some slight rule changes from the previous edition
as I said in disco, from what I know the new edition is the old edition with this years errata in it. So there will be slight changes, not to rules but to results like they have done every year for the last 3. the 7 pages of Pacto will also be included, which just tells you to half everything and round up if you want to play quicker battles in a smaller space. I think the grand game is in it, but I have never bothered looking at the rules for that as MeG runs in 2-3 hours and… Read more »
Happy Sunday fellow Cultists, Glory to you on the Day of COG ???
Thank you for the Golden Button. It really does give me a boost. Especially during isolation. The basing for the Brewers had the odd swamp tuft to show it was the unkempt pitch of the drunkard Brewers and the Masons have white flowers and the odd bits of flint on the basing just to theme the teams even on the bases. ? The big battle i would love to play would be The Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro from the Napoleonic Peninsular Campaign. The bloody hand to hand fighting in the village itself really cemented the reputation of highland regiments… Read more »
Well done @dugthefug1644
one great battle for me would have to be naseby in the english civil war
I’d love to see the Alamo fought through using Wofun. Not only could it be done while show casing the whole of a Wofun Texan war range more or less, that’s so so lovely, it could also include the Sarissa Alamo Kickstarter giving them a bit of promotion and love as well during theses lean times. The Alamo may not have the sweeping scale of Waterloo or the classic epic narrative of Thermopylae but it could be fought complete man for man with a reasonably sized playing area over a decent and not overly long number of turns. Saying that… Read more »
Before you commission a CoG tartan you should commission the Royal Collage of Heraldry to create a CoG coat of arms. ?
@warzan : you really should get one of these to go with your balls 😉 – https://heresyminiatures.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=113&products_id=347
I had to look into the Royal College of Heraldry and the costs involved…….
“As of 1 January 2020 the fees payable upon a personal grant of arms and crest are £6,600, a similar grant to an impersonal but non-profit making body, £13,725, and to a commercial company, £20,450.”
@templar007 That’s cheaper than I thought it would be
