The Loose Association of Wargamers

Around 1981 I found myself in posession of a large lump of polytyrene foam. I was into sci-fi at the time having scratchbuilt out of plasticard a couple of 'landers'in 1:300 which were pretty cool. At the time I was involved with a Military Modelling club and decided to impresss them with a diorama involving my cool ships. So I spent an afternoon with a table knife heated on a gas oven carving a moonscape into the polystyrene foam with realistic looking craters.
I went to bed feeling pretty chuffed with myself then spent the next few hours feeling dog rough and puking uncontrolably in bed.
I realise now that I gave myself cyanide poisoning from four hours of fumes off the melted polystyrene. But I did win a prize for my diorama. So fuck health and safety !

Shouldn't those pandours have more bamboo around them?

They're on a diet.

Church and Pandours looking fantastic Purps !

Talking of polystyrene foam there’s currently some outrage in the 40k competitive community. The London GT - which aims to be the biggest tournament in the UK - was apparently an organisational fuckfest. Not least because the organisers left it too late to make proper terrain and this is what people were faced with.....

Simon, you have the template for Ayton ‘19!

Hahaha I saw that. Wasn’t the tickets something like £90 to play to?

Doesn't 40k terrain normally look like that, anyway?

I do like the way that they have used hex based movement for the Alpine troops.

Don't give him ideas or he'll have us using 40K figures and I'm selling all my tanks.

The horrifying thing about that picture is that it’s Block 108 and it goes on forever and you can see, to the right, more tables. So there’s another 107 Blocks before that :o

And the really horrifying thing is, that might not be the last Block!!!

I’ve had nightmares that were more comforting than that picture.
