Trench Crusade? Maybe — but probably with Bretonnians

We had one of those very relatable hobby chats recently: a new game appears on the horizon, the models look tempting, the ideas start flowing… and then reality hits us with the classic combo of too many projects already in...



When a Scenario Gets in the Way of the Fun

Every now and then we end up talking less about who won and more about whether the game itself was actually fun to play. This time the spark was a discussion about a very specific kind of scenario: one where...



Second Reading #1: When Can a Unit Move Through Another Unit?

We immediately loved Staś’s idea for a small recurring series, so here we go: Second Reading. The premise is simple and very relatable — after a first read-through of the rulebook and a few games, we go back to the...


Our little combat simulator escalated quickly

Sometimes the best hobby side-projects start with a simple idea and then, somehow, turn into a whole thing. That is pretty much what happened here.




One Tiny Rule, One Big Debate: Rank Bonus Before or After Combat?

We love those very normal hobby moments when a quick rules question turns into a full-on design discussion. This time, we ended up deep in the weeds over a classic Warhammer Fantasy problem: when exactly should rank bonus and Unit...


Big Games, Small Games, and Why We Like Different Warhammers

We recently fell into one of our favourite hobby rabbit holes: browsing old Warhammer Fantasy Battle minis online and arguing about which ones aged like fine wine, and which ones absolutely, gloriously did not.



A Small-Scale Warhammer That Actually Sounds Tempting

We had one of those classic hobby chat moments recently: someone drops a few rules snippets, and suddenly a game system we weren’t really looking at starts sounding very interesting.



First Steps into Malifaux (and a Brief Detour into Giant Nagash)

We had one of those classic hobby evenings where one topic smoothly turns into three others. This time the main discovery was Malifaux — and since Stas was the one taking notes, we got a quick late-evening rules rundown that...


First Steps into Malifaux: Cards Instead of Dice

We occasionally drift away from strict Warhammer talk and peek over the fence at other tabletop systems. This time, Staś sat down for an intro game of Malifaux with Konrad, and the first impression was immediate: this game does things...
