White Dwarf 126, a classic that featured Space Marine, Space Hulk, & Marieburg for WFRP

The cover is by artist Colin Sullivan and was used, along with some more of his art, in the GW release of RuneQuest. Sullivan's work also graced the covers of the Way of the Tiger gamebooks

53. Caverns of the Snow Witch, Ian Livingstone

Revisiting the favourite Fighting Fantasy book from my youth. A really great story in this one, really feels like a proper D&D campaign. Brick hard though, some nasty fights that I couldn't see a way to avoid (that damn Birdman!)

That our entry for Blockbusters was so bad it humiliated the teaching staff in front of their counterparts at the rival local secondary schools (a serious no-no when we gloried in the best GCSE pass rates for a state school in our LEA) and the girl concerned was put on study leave immediately.

Not entirely sure why Dredd's trying to confiscate Game Gears in the (checks Wikipedia) Mega-City One of 122 years from current date, the capacitors had all leaked by the end of the 1990s.

Got this fun sculpt from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social, and it was such a joy to paint. This happy spooky chap will have to be a unit champion for my #warhammer #oldworld #vampirecounts army that I'm gifting to my inner child. I always wanted a huge Sylvainian army as a kid, time to live the dream

I can't surely be the only retrogamer who, upon seeing one of these Chinese electric cars, immediately misreads that grille logo as JALECO. Happens to me every time.

Paint pens, Devlan, gloss. The pen tips were a bit too big to try and hand paint the pauldron insignia with if I'm honest.
