Newcastle Knights Club Painting Competition

Very happy my entry won will evidently be getting prize of paints.

First game first scenario of Pillage Vikings Versus Normans 500 points

Fun game and bonus a Viking overwhelming victory. Great wargame rules for a club night fast and simple with low model count. Archers and SA armour is I think the way to go. Surprised rules do not have throwing axes. Will be playing these more often and would like to get Irish after I finish off more Vikings and Saxons. Some funny narrative moments too both Norman knights fell from thier horses trying to charge the Vikings when attempting to jump a wall... naughty horses. Viking dane axes then proceeded to butcher said humiliated Norman's. worse was yet to come as a Norman crossbowmen shot his own Lord dead. elsewhere the Norman's faired little better, most meeting a bloody end. Happy to see the crossbowmen run away. With the village firmly in Viking hands a night of feasting and pillaging was to be had in the certainty that the four fallen Vikibgs would be dining in the halls of Valhalla.

To Infinity and beyond... Buzz Lightyear

Got this for 2 pounds from Home Bargains could not resit repainting and basing it. It is around 1/72 in scale too. Happy with the base and engines. Can be removed from flight stand. Canopy and wheels move and pilot can be removed. Had to shave the pilots bottom and back a bit to help canopy close properly.

Border Reivers Wargame Show 2026

Would like to put on another game this year still not sure what though...
