WARNING: Watch out peeps if you follow my link to the Dead Man’s Hand Gunfighters, it’s just 1 sprue not the actual box set FFS!
Should have bought Gobbos instead. Much better value
Who’s Gobbos?
Oh no, Remember to read the LARGE PRINT ?
But, but I looked at all the pictures, is that not enough!!!!!!!!! 🙂
I can see why the wife banned you from ebay…
yeah
Happy Sunday CoGs and OTTers!
Time to rename tbe Community spotlight as The uHH deja Vu spot
The best way to get into historical gaming in 6mm ACW.No pressure Shay
That’s what I thought
Woot! Snag-a-Normie is still viable. I’d throw my lot in with SAGA and the Dark Ages as I’ve done it twice now with Viking forces. The capability of taking them and turning things to the fantastic with mythological monsters is simple enough. That reminds me, when @lloyd are we going to see those Pagan Rus include some more fantasy bits, eh slacker?
Snag-a-Normie,Snag-a-Saxon,Snag-a-viking or even Snag-a-Rus filth. Its all the same really for wargaming the Dark Ages
Happy Sunday XLBSers.
Like the video’s or the sashquatch will get you.
Cat whiskers They are great for vehicle aerials.
An you don’t have to cut them you will find them all over the house.
Kelly’s hero’s shit house?
Pallets are an arse you have to use treated for Europe or it’s sent back but they’ll send any shite AAaagh.
May be difficult nowadays but i don’t it.
Never look for blue waffles. Just don’t you have been warned.
shhhh
Da Da Da. Lol.
MechaTop is a tabletop games system designed to allow folks to use their completed Gunpla (and similarly scaled) kits. It was going to be a licenced Gundam product to start with but that fell through so they went with the more generic MechaTop as opposed to GundamTop. It’s a nifty system and makes use of the hexagonal display bases that you can get for kits
Just coming here to say this, Mechatop ruleset would be the way to go
Shay suffering from the thousand mm’s stare.
I would throw gangsters into the ring. I played Chicago way when it first came out and I was asked by a normy at work about it who just loves the 20s so I’m going to be dusting off those minis. It all depends on people’s collected interest. My cheese riot game was popular with my work mates because they all understood ghe subject.
Gangsters have certainly featured heavily, especially with the likes of Peaky Blinders
That’s a bear grilles episode tape worms?
Hatfield’s V the Mcoys? Gerry.
Lloyd has more train’s that British rail.??
lol not yet!
That thumb nail is gunna be far too exciting for @crispin…
I do what I must
Have you seen this man if you have do not play with him he’ll bugger off an leave you to die.
Totaly accurate, he’s the worst 🙂
Googling “Attenborough tapeworm” does not present anything similar to Lloyd’s story. Lloyd, you really should stop bingeing on Attenborough documentaries and then eating cheese just before bedtime…
It happened this isn’t no Mandela effect lol
It offended somebody.?
Fab show guy’s.
@brennon The Viking motif is also an overused cliché in board gaming which means many people from that part of the hobby have encountered it.
Very true – lots of board games with that theme that people could latch on to
You could do ‘allo ‘allo in 7tv…just saying
You could!
