It’s been a while since I had a forum to support my ruleset, but I found proboards which seemed an easy route to building one. So here it is.

If you’re interested in Open Combat (available in paperback on Amazon or hardback on my website - links in thread) please join in. 🙂

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

After many years without one (sadly all the previous cool discussions are lost) I’ve started a new forum. If you’re an Open Combat player (or just fancy finding out more) please join (and share). 🙂

It’s been a long time posting here. But Open Combat is now available in soft back on Amazon using the print on demand service so you should be able to get a copy ‘locally’ (depending on printing house location) whatever country you’re in!

So grab it now!

Great thread for history buffs and historical wargamers alike 🙂

In AD 988, six thousand Rus warriors entered the service of the Roman Empire and formed one of the most legendary elite units of all time.

@warhammer Depends on the base texture colour for me.

@SvenFu Thanks Sven, chariot was finished in a rush for an event but it does the job. 🙂

Been a while since I completed any painting but here’s a couple for my Slaves to Darkness AoS and Spearhead forces.

@gridmaster60 Thanks Michael! Brush control always takes a wobble when I have an extended period off painting. But feels good to get a bit of momentum going again. 🙂

[Carl Brown @athousandhats]

The chariot was a rush job at the end as I had a Spearhead event. I’d been so busy so hadn’t got it done in time, I was sticking parts together on the morning before the event in the evening (the horses and warrior on the back weren’t even started) 😂

Old English is the coolest language you’ve never heard of

From Beowulf to Lord of the Rings, its influence is legendary — but most people know nothing about it.

Here’s a primer on Old English, and an explanation of why we wrote "ye olde" instead of "the old"...

@Shawams Not fun times.

@MoreGamesPls @TimClarePoet Thanks for sharing Ross. Agree with you Tim, well said.

@Yugblad I remember my wife and I sitting in the cinema and both turning to look at each other with a ‘what the…?’ when it all changed. I felt the same way as you leaving the cinema, everything about it felt different.

@TooFatLardies The design looks beautiful, great piece of work. Raising a professional respect glass to your graphic designer 😊

Bit of a ‘getting back on the horse’ mini thread about my games publishing biz…

👀 looks at last time I posted on Twitter.

(I thought I’d been a while off the radar recovering from various health events and surgeries but blimey!)
