Heretical Gaming is my blog about my gaming life, featuring small skirmishes and big battles from many historical periods (and some in the mythic past or the far future too). The focus is on battle reports using a wide variety of rules, with the occasional rules review, book review and odd musing about the gaming and history. Most of the battles use 6mm-sized figures and vehicles, but occasionally 15mm and 28mm figures appear too.

31st December 2025 - Hobby Update

 The main update is that there isn't much to update. All the painting has been for the bairn, finishing off his Warlord Gauls...
 







 
...and some Perry Miniatures' English Army of Agincourt set. The archers are finished...

The knights are nearly finshed also:

 
Both sets are really nice and come with plenty of variation, and paint up well. I think  
 
No painting for me recently, very unfortunately, since I have lots in the painting pile. There are some WW2 bits and pieces first, then some WSS and Napoleonics, then some Byzantines and Carthaginians. Amongst other things!
 
There really hasn't been much gaming, although I have tried , without much success. I will go into the whys and the wherefores of that in my review of the year but suffice to say, not much has happened despite the desire being there. I did even get into the set-up and play a few turns stage a few times, as in this game below (can you tell what it is yet?), but nothing completed.

 I am going to come back to this one!
 
A lot of my 'gaming energy' has instead been spent on having another go at developing the Portable Air Wargame rules further; examining some Vassal modules to see if they might be suitable for gaming possibilities; and on converting old Call of Cthulhu and Dungeons & Dragons scenarios into WFRP 1st edition scenarios. I think that I have mentioned before that as work-life gets more busy-stressful, my creative urges seem to be drawn to role-playing games more than battle games, for some reason.
