I'm a wrinkly old fantasy illustrator, best known for Lone Wolf, Redwall and loads of Games Workshop stuff. I live in Charente Maritime France in a house full of books, toy soldiers and dust.

Free is best! Troop transporter, found at the local dump, converted from a dumper truck with some bits of plasticard. It was destroyed in the first move of the first game I ever used it in. It made a lovely wreck though.

As I just said, I love using repurposed toys when I can get them. This ex Paw Patrol flier cost me 3 euros in a junk sale. I cut off the carrying handle and remodelled the nose. It's featured as the getaway vehicle for an evil dictator in a couple of Xenos Rampant games already.

Have any of the gamers out there tried using Xenos or Lion Rampant for Back of Beyond games? I've just been chatting with a friend about mixing the vehicles from Xenos with the figures from Lion Rampant.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Took photos of my #PiratesCSG ships of various fleets. Still considering putting these up on eBay, but not just yet. I think this could be a fun game for Game Night with friends. I've got a handful of #unpunched ships that I'll sell first. See if there's even a market for the punched ships.

my brother & his partner are telling me an insane story about this local deity called "st. rat" which is apparently a mosaic relief put up by some queers in seattle. the city kept trying to paint over it, but people would repeatedly just use acetone and remove the paint until the city gave up

"So that's Theft, Fraud, Financial Misconduct, Political Misconduct and Misconduct in a public office. That's just the EU. In the UK, all of the above plus Treason, Money Laundering and Tax Evasion. The list probably goes on but that's enough of a start. Criminal Filth." via Timothy O'sullivan

It’s the annual Waterloo game this weekend and things are taking shape. Troops have deployed into their Corps areas but will no doubt see some tactical rearranging on the morning of the battle. 1 allied corps yet to arrive. Hopefully the rain will hold off this time 😉 #blackpowder #waterloo
