In the Wars 4

 Hi Everyone,

                      I've got an update for you. I am currently doing an IT Course, I was at an "Alestorm" concert at the O2 Academy. A very good night, that's one way to clear out the earwax!  I have just caught a cold so I am doing my work online through teams and emails. As you can imagine, this is slowing me down somewhat. To put it into game speak, "The Will is at +1, but the Con is at -2."

                    It very doubtful that I will be attending Alumwell 2024 this year.


Take care all,


Ivor Cogdell

Thoughts On - Star Trek Discovery Season 5 Trailer

 Hi Everyone,

                       This is just a quickie posting, as I am doing an IT course at the moment. I have just seen the trailer for season 5 of Star Trek Discovery. Mike Burnam and the Star Trek Discovery crew will be bouncing all over the place trying to find answers to a riddle or puzzle. Characters Book and Tilly return, which is rather good. Seru gets a new job. There are lots of action scenes to look forward to, as this is the last season. The series airs in April 2024.


Regards all,


Ivor Cogdell


P.S.  A spin-off to this  is a "Section 31" movie or tv series with Phillipa Georgiou. But you were probably aware of that.

Thoughts On - Alien RPG 8 (No Spoilers) - Updated

 Hi everybody,

                      We drove over in a APC to investigate the crash site we had recorded from a couple of weeks ago. By the looks of the tracks, someone or a Sinth had gotten out more or less intact and rode off in an APC. We got back to our main base to find the Comms Array destroyed!

                    We went inside and were jumped on by critters we had not seen before, waiting in the control room to ambush us. More stress! I hit one with a pistol and Cowboy hit it with a minigun blast. The next turn, I got hit with a panic attack and dropped my pistol! Cowboy shot it and then we legged it, losing three guys to face huggers as we did so. We locked the outer hatch and did a runner, lucky to escape in one piece.

                     We made our way to another part of the planet in the shuttle and APC, where we met up with a science expedition from Hadley's Hope that had been out of touch with what had been going on, as their com unit had gone on the fritz ages ago, loyaly, they had decided to carry on with their mission. (This may be specific to us, don't count on it happening to you!).

                    JAME'S PERSONAL LOG - "I think our Cowboy is suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, as he has just ordered us, against our pleas to dissuade him from this idea, to put together a low yield nuclear bomb, which he intends to drop on our main base from the shuttle, to get rid of the aliens infesting it. With misgivings, The Doc and I complete the weapon........."

To be continued.

Regards all,

P.S. No Alien for the last couple of weeks as I was at an "Alestorm" concert at the O2 Academy and later came down with a cold - See "In the Wars 4".


Painted Mordheim models

 Hi Everyone,

                      Here are some models and terrain I did for my Mordheim Setting.


Zombie having a bad day, "Anyone seen my 'ead?" Gargle.

"Stop right there or I'll let you have what's in ear for free."

Bretonian.

Dwarf and Beastman

Smacker.



Dwarfs from Rear.

Dwarf and Beast rear.


Amazon


Spring. "Any coins?" "Rocks and stuff, maybe a couple".












































Banner Carrier.



Not a fantastic paint job on them, I admit, but at least now they are table-ready. I am not sure if they are official Games Workshop models, but they will suit that purpose.

Please see Rules and Copyright Pages for Copyright information on models etc.
