The First Jewish Revolt: Who was…Simeon Bar Giora
While my forthcoming range of miniatures can be used for any of the Jewish revolts against Rome, the most famous is the First Jewish War, largely due to the writings of Josephus. Unlike the other revolts we can be relatively confident in the chronology of events as well as the names of many of the…
Krautcover Basing Review
In my opinion, basing your models is the most important step to get right in order to create a great looking miniature you can be proud of. A poorly based model undermine all the effort you have put into painting it, while good basing will complement your effort, without drawing attention to itself. After all,…
Paw Prints in Time
During the Classical era, tiles were made in moulds before being fired in kilns. Typically, however, the tiles would be left outside in the interval.

About Me
I enjoy wargaming conflicts real or imaginary from ancient times to the 20th century and beyond, all while drinking copious quantities of coffee. My cats Wren & Avery often feature in my wargames as they both enjoy rolling around on my board. The miniatures do not appreciate this.
My first introduction to wargaming was at the age of 12 y.o. when a schoolfriend showed me his Necron army for 3rd edition Warhammer 40,000. My first wargame was on a snooker table without terrain. Twenty+ years later I still have the rule book that started me off, but I have branched off into a variety of other wargames (mostly historical).
I enjoy writing articles on all aspects of the wargaming hobby, but in particular I enjoy writing my own scenarios for playing with my local wargames group in Newcastle, UK. I have previously been published in Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy, Miniature Wargames, Military Miniature, as well as the Too Fat Lardies Lard Annual. I also write historical articles which have been published in the Gallipoli Association Journal, the Oral History Society and the Journal of the Western Front.
