Skirmish Games Comparison (MCP V Shatterpoint V Malifaux V Guildball V Bushido V Warcry V Underworlds)

I realised a while back that I prefer Skirmish games. I’m enjoying AOS right now because I get to use the big models, but we only play 1000 points. But after trying to play a WFB game crica 8/9e and it taking 5 hours to setup play and put away I started looking for smaller […]

What have I been up to minis wise?

The last time I blogged about Minis was MCP around the launch of winter guard. I had some of them painted and was going to an event…that was summer 2022. I didn’t go. So what have I been playing? So for a while in 2022 I was playing bushido. I proxied at first with Brian. […]

Bushido – Character Card Review Akoshi (Cult)

So now we have newly spoiled cards I can do exactly what I do for MCP, baseless uninformed character reviews! First up we have Akoshi, a new Gashadokuro for Cult of Yurei. Man I hope we keep getting full Art for cards, he looks awesome! So we have 2 Gashadokuro so far, Eiko (13 rice) […]

Bushido – A Tale of 2 Oni (2 more games)

So I was lucky to get in 2 games either side of the Weekend (when I went to a MCP event and a footy match, so good weekend). On Friday my other gaming buddy Scott elected to play Bushido because Brian was MIA. I wanted to try the Oni so picked 100 points of Savage […]

Bushido: Picking a faction part 2 and Model wishlist

When we left off (this post) I had this top 11 (Plus Void) Ito Temple Cult Shadow Wind Minimoto Ryu STS Pirates Shiho Savage Wave Descension Since then I’ve played Minimoto and Ito and played with the starter box. My Void monks also turned up. I also found some cheap minis online and actually bought […]

Bushido: Starter Box game and thoughts after playing

Having built the new starter box we tried it out. Hozumi + Grey Pilgrim Vs Kiyouzumi + Drunken Master. We were playing Icho No riten. Round 1, we just moved people up (Except Koga who got banished). I couldn’t get models to the right zone so left them outside, and Brian couldn’t move his models […]

Bushido: Wave 5 card review, Satou Togai

So there are 5 new characters to pre-order, so I thought I would take a look, starting with the Ryu model, Satou Togai. So he’s a brawler with an area attack. The Great – Circular strike is pretty cool. That could get a lot of hits on the right scenario. The Good – Armour 2, […]

Bushido: Card Reviews – The Bears! (Minimoto)

One of the main posts I do for MCP is reviewing the new cards as they drop, and reviewing older cards when there’s a lull. Well Bushido has lots of old cards, but they’re all new to me. So I’m going to try the same thing for Bushido. I normally give short overviews, pick out […]

Bushido, Game 3 (Ito Vs Minamoto), yet more thoughts

So our scheduled RPG session got cancelled due to the dreaded Covid so Brian and I decided to play another game of Bushido. I wanted to try Ito and Minimoto as they were the next 2 clans on my list (see here). I took Ito and he took Minimoto and we elected to play the […]

Bushido – New Starter Box Thoughts

This isn’t so much a review because I’m still only only learning the game. More a look at what the models are like and who can use them. Lets start with the Kiyozumi Family Hinadori Seems cool. The model is awesome. Useless attacks but decent Healing. And counts as Ronin for 3 Factions. Sadaka’s model […]

Bushido – Which Faction Should I start with?

So I’m just starting with Bushido. It’s been a while since I was in this position. With MCP and Aristeia I got in at the start so just bought everything as it released. With guildball I bought bits and pieces at the start, lots of preowned stuff and slowly built up and bought new releases […]

Bushido game 2 and more Thoughts

So another Monday and Brian and I decided to play a 100 rice game. He stuck with Cult, but this time picking his own (filthy) list and I decided to take the Ninjas! I took 5 Ninjas, deciding of my 5th model purely because It added to 100. I wanted Dudiko for the bow and […]

Bushido, my initial thoughts

So my old GB/Aristeia group moved initially on to MCP but then moved on to something called Bushido. And a few more ex-GB players also moved on to Bushido. I’d looked into it years ago, but it merely looked ok, the minis weren’t that exciting and I felt Malifaux covered what it was doing and […]

My Wargaming Journey, A brief Retrospective

In classic That70sgame style I was inspired to write an article about my wargaming background, which I expect no-one to read! As with many minis gamers I started with GW. Scott got Bloodbowl in our teens (2nd edition with the styrofoam pitch) and from there I bought the Warhammer (3rd) and 40k Rogue Trader (OG) […]
