Hello...

Welcome to the Kirklees Wargames Club blog and forum. We are a small group of table-top wargamers who get together weekly to play games which vary from Ancient/Medieval, through English Civil War, American War of Independence, American Civil War, and all things Napoleonic, plus WW2 to Sci-fi and fantasy, using scale-model armies on purpose-built terrain and scenery. We meet at Beaumont Park Visitors Centre, Beaumont Park Road, Huddersfield HD4 7AY on Monday evenings from 6.15pm. New members (over 18) are always welcome. You can just drop in or contact us on: kirkleeswargamesclub@gmail.com. Facebook: Kirklees Wargames Club and Twitter: @KirkleesWC

20mm WW2 British - Matilda Mk.II in cantour camo scheme

This was a quick build kit in 1/72 20mm off ebay, don't know the name of the manufacturer, but it went together quick and easy, and lovely to paint. My first attempt at desert cantour camo scheme, think the base brown colour should be a lighter shade. 

I don't have any other desert WW2 stuff though.

25mm Wild West Stagecoach for What a Cowboy games

This is a 3d print kit off ebay, really nice model. Paints up easily, and big thanks to Steve K for doing the basing, and the reins, which finish off the whole thing.

Finally giving the new Warhammer Underworlds a try

Tonight we had a game of Underworlds at the club. We took it nice and easy and used the Embergard warbands from the box and took it nice and slowly. I liked the new format and the distinct amount of table clutter was reduced (which was nice). As far as game night games go, it makes a lovely addition to the list of played games. Being nice and simple to set-up, play (mostly) and a 5 minute tidy up time being big bonuses.


P.S Zikkit won 10-6
