In Her Majesty's Name Company - The Black Widow Gang



There are many criminal gangs who work the the London docks but even amongst those hardened and violent criminals the name of The Black Widow Gang causes fear!

The Black Widow herself runs the day-to-day criminal activities of the gang. As tough as she is fearless, she is, nevertheless, always accompanied by the Ripper, so named because of his skill and ferocity with a knife.

It is, however, the Ju-Ju King who gives the gang its fearsome reputation! Steeped in the darkest tribal magics from West Africa, he consorts with ghostly apparitions and is even able to raise the dead and make them do his bidding!

Of London's many criminal gangs, only the Purple Lotus Tong seem prepared to stand up to the terrifying Black Widow Gang!

Death in the Dark Continent!


My copy of Death in the Dark Continent arrived today along with some North Star British South Africa Company and Boers. I've only had a chance to flick through it but it is a gorgeously illustrated book with lots of historical background. Looking forward to having a proper read once the kids are back at school next week!

Creatures of the Night!


I got my latest lot of figs back from Matt of Glenbrook Games today. This time some figures for In Her Majesty's Name and the latest supplement...Gothic!











These are all North Star or Artizan figs. Matt has, as always, done a superb job on them. I look forward to putting a company together using the new Gothic supplement as soon as the kids are back at school!

Strongsword, A Fantasy Skirmish Wargame for Westfalia Wargames

Two weeks since I last posted. And I'm afraid I've not had much chance to keep up with all my favourite blogs, either. Sorry. Things have been a bit busy...moving house and then off camping for a few days with the family (how lucky have we been with the weather!)...and now the Easter Holidays are upon us and the kids are at home so it's all boardgames at the moment. Normal service shall resume shortly!

I did, however, notice this teaser pic on Daniel Mersey's blog here this afternoon...


Looks interesting....
