I'm in Cardiff today...

I scheduled this before I left, to post whilst I am on vacation.

In Cardiff, I shall revisit the Goat Major Pub and have a Wye Valley Pie. I hope to run into these fine gentlemen.

Because how cool would that be?

That is the actual (recently retired) Goat Major himself, in the Goat Major Pub, with Shenkin, the official mascot of the Royal Welsh Regiment.

Now, off to see the castle!

700th Post Raffle

This is my 700th post on Victoria's Boys in Red!

We've been defending the British Solar Empire for years now, and in fits and starts. But the work goes on! It goes forward! A bit of assistance in the way of articles, art, ideas, house rules, etc. would help with the next issue of The Aethergraph (now scheduled for "Sometime in July").

Anyway, in order to properly celebrate the 700th post, I am going to hold the now-traditional gaming blog raffle!

So let me know if you are interested in some sort of mystery prize direct from the UK - I am headed there tomorrow! Send your entry to my gmail account: aethergraph@gmail.com. 

I will draw a name next Tuesday. That way, if the winner is in the UK, the post will be cheap cheap cheap! If the winner is in the US, I'll post it when I return on the 11th of July.

Good luck!

6mm Aetherbattalion Assault Team

  This photo was my last entry in the infamous Lead Painters' League contest for 2014. 6mm Baccus infantry, Epic 40K Termites for the assault vehicles, and an odd blue box in the distance...

The British Empire Runs on Tea

More Mechanickal Menaces from Maton!

Maton's "Manikins" Emerge from A Martian Cavern

   The despicable and dangerous Herr Doctor Professor Otto Maton has been at it again. A new sort of automaton was seen recently. Unlike the majority of Maton's mechanickal menace, these diabolical devices are armed with modern magazine rifles! Fearless, cold, ruthless, and deadly accurate, the Army has dubbed them 'manikins'. This journal can only hope that the Mad Belgian has reached his limits.

[Editor's Note: Sorry about the delay. Grad school has been a bit tense the last month. These fellows, the first half of a unit of ten, were painted up for Round 6 of the Lead Painters' League Season 8. One of the rules is that you can't advertise while the team is in competition, so I had to wait to post photos. Hope you enjoy them.]
