Things that may make a Wargamer despair part 6 or....

....make sure what it says on the spray can is what you wanted at 4.30 in the morning!

Been having trouble with this whole set of models due to a bad spray varnish reaction, repaint etc, some questionable building and alignment issues.......then I notice one models aerial has fallen over???......so I glue it straight with a dab of Ray's borrowed super glue (5 bottles of mine had just hardened in their bottles when I went to get one!!!!) but it looked shiny so I went to the press (at work) and picked up the tin of spray varnish (or what I believed to be spray varnish) and behold..........

So don't spray tired (Ray laughed but then he is a shit!)

Pretty much the face I pulled and how I felt but think bigger!

Former 15mm goodness......

I'll sort them out when I'm feeling better about them......

Just three got it in the end, could have been worse, when life gives you lemons, every cloud h........kiss my fat hairy Irish ass LIFE!!!!!!!



So that I can help others in my time of despair and tired stupidity (and when you stop laughing) here's a guide to the strange creatures that are women...........



I haven't painted anything in a couple of days, maybe it's just the tiredness, or a painting funk or general arseache (which is quite genuine as I feel like John Hurt and the meal scene in Alien) but I got a wargame on Saturday with the Rejects and I'll see you all Sunday when I'm back at work, have a good weekend if you can (COD Black Ops 2 turned up today so I'll be playing that like I stole it tomorrow, technically this is true as it's an early Christmas present).

15mm Painted Khurasan XM-6 Heavy Grav Tank.

This big beauty from Khurasan Miniatures forms part of my PRC sci-fi forces and is classed as super heavy and compared to other PRC tanks...it is!

I raised the tank slightly with a couple of differently sized round MDF bases as all the grav tanks of the PRC forces do.

I'm also thinking of calling the class "Dragon".




Some 15mm GZG PRC troops for scale.....




A grav APC and Tank from GZG to show how big it really is......

Angry Lurker Honest Movie Review 90: Cockneys vs Zombies 2012 (3 STARS).

"The Undead are Brown Bread"....what more can you say?

The term Cockney has geographical, cultural and linguistic associations. Traditionally, it refers to people born within a certain area, that is covered "by the sound of bow bells" (St.Mary-Le-Bow church). Geographically and culturally, it is often used to refer to working class Londoners, particularly those in the East end. Linguistically, it can refer to the accent and English spoken by this group.


A group of slightly inept bank robbers plan a bank robbery to save their grandfathers retirement home but in the meantime a crypt is found in an old graveyard and opened by a construction company and the undead are released. They need to get to the retirement home before the zombies do, cue zombie shenanigans!

This is a low budget, fun zombie movie with good and bad special effects but also good performances from the leads (Alan Ford, Michelle Ryan etc...), over the top at times including the cockney dialogue, well worth a watch though!

The highlight was watching Millwall football zombie supporters attacking West Ham zombie supporters....brilliant! (I hope it was those teams?)
