So throughout this pandemic, a few clever people have been setting up online Dreadball events. The Tri-Star League is run by Sam Lowrie, and I had such a blast in the second season with my Neo-bot team that I finally managed to finish painting them! Since the pandemic continues and face-to-face gaming gets harder I …

Bristol Dominion Campaign Round Six
Big Boned Billy’s Revenge defended against the Feminasties again, in a small area of the Underhive tunnels. Due to prior injuries only 4 of the Escher were available to fight against 6 of the most tooled-up Delaques. Unfortunately, Billy’s plan of distributing potent drinks around the Underhive led the poor Feminasties to believe they were …
Bristol Dominion Campaign Round Five
This round was against the Mounted Chain Breakers, and Big Boned Billy’s Revenge were attempting to take the Mine Workings from them. Chris wrote an excellent account of the battle on the Facebook Group page, but if you didn’t have time for that… I lost.
Bristol Dominion Campaign Round Four
With downtime out of the way, it was time for the next round! I was matched against Matt’s Genestealer Cult gang ‘The Rusted Maw’ and they were attacking my Old Ruins territory. We rolled up the Marauders scenario, and the cult’s special mission was Mayhem (take my gang out of action then leave the board). …
Bristol Dominion Campaign Round Three
Big Boned Billy’s Revenge fought against the Feminasties, an Escher gang, in their third scheduled game of the campaign. Unfortunately I’m writing this some time after the battle, so details will be sketchy. Oliver had a much better position and flanked the Revenge – who were mostly stuck behind a single barricade across a wide …

Bristol Dominion Round Two
My second game was against the Escher gang, the Toxtown Terrors. We were playing for the Needle Ways in a Tunnel Fight, and it looked promising for Big Boned Billy’s Revenge as they went up against the already bloodied and bruised Terrors. The Revenge started out sneaky, spiking the drinks of two-thirds of the gang, …
Bristol Dominion Round One
The new Necromunda is fantastic, and I’ve been getting back into painting my old Delaque gang with some additions from the Heresy Miniatures ‘sci-fi trenchcoat gang’. They look a lot like extras from the Blade films, especially with the bat shaped belt-buckles. Like a very off-brand Dark Knight. Al Weeks has set up a Dominion …
Books I’ve read in 2018
I liked keeping track of my reading last year, so I’ve done the same this year. I’m trying to stick with my ‘no re-reads’ rule – especially since I got some new books at the end of the year for this one! How to be Human This was mentioned on the No Such Thing As …
