UK Games Expo 2014

We attended the UK Games Expo this year which was held at the Hilton Hotel at the NEC Birmingham. I was only there for the Saturday and I was helping aka observing as the lads were having a demo game of Saga; a viking invasion.

The event had a brilliant turn out, although I found it much too hot and busy to actually browse anything but at least the board had a good amount of interest.

Also next to our demo game, was the Very British Civil War Game with some fantastic looking scenery.

Painting update

Although I haven't posted any thing on my blog is a while, i have helped with a few projects over the past few months. Since it's already half way through the year (how time flies!), I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to update what I've worked on. 

In April, my war gaming group; Leicester Phat Cats, managed to place at Salute with a demo board based on 2008 Russian invasion of South Occetia. Due to our lateness, we only had 8 weeks to completely build from scratch a 6" x 10" board and all the models. I was tasked with painting some of the buildings for the residential area.

Also this month I have helped paint a viking long ship for our demo at the UK Games Expo at Birmingham this Weekend (30th May - 1st June)

I am also starting commission work for a friend. I will be painting his warzone brotherhood army from Prodos Games. A bit of a challenge for me as it will be the most models I have ever painted at one go or even completed (I have only ever fully painted 7 individual models, not including scenery). I'm really looking forward to painting these as they are such gorgeous models! Here is some photos of the assembled models and I'll hopefully update the blog with more images once they have been completed. 

Thanks for reading!
