Blogs I like
Dec 25th
There are quite a few blogs on Warhammer finally beginning to pop up. I thought I would provide you with some of the links so that you can enjoy them yourself!
Hobby Horse This is a great blog for inspiration. The guy who runs it is called Old Fogey and you should be familiar with his work from the Glass Cabinet on the Warhammer forum. I usually just go here to see what he has done recently and to copy his techniques. He really does come up with some nicely painted miniatures with some wonderful time saving techniques. You can generally pester him a little to reveal his secrets. Sadly he doesn’t update very regularly!
Geek Tactica I just found this blog recently and wow it is great! This guy updates really often and while it is rarely about Warhammer he does play some really interesting games. Currently his group seems to be playing Chaos in Carpathia and he has created some really fantastic terrain for it.
Rolls Dice This site mainly deals with 40k. I am still awaiting this guy finishing his wonderful 40k city… however he seems to get easily distracted! However he updates pretty often with some really nice stuff. He seems to paint like a machine despite complaing that he has no time at all!
Massive Voodoo This site is generally pretty weird but the guy is one of the best painters I have seen. He has a great number of articles and guides. It really is a great place to research something new. The recent tutorial on how to make lenses is great.
From the Warp This is a pretty popular site for 40k. The best thing about the site is the links they provide to others. I regularly find a lot of different places via this sites blog roll. The posts are generally interesting but 40k just isn’t my thing at the moment.
Anyway I hope you enjoy the sites and get some good hobby inspiration from them!

I would like to congratulate everyone behind the launch of the Wargaming Ireland web site. It is a fantastic tribute to both them and all war-gamers in Ireland that such a quality site exists for the community.It is through web sites such as this one that gaming communities are built and prosper and I encourage all Irish players to get behind and use the site as much as they can. It is only through the support and contributions of the players that Wargaming Ireland will reach its true potential.
I will be watching with keen interest over the coming months how the Wargaming Ireland web site develops and look forward to working with you guys to cross promote the Irish war gaming and tournament scene via the Rankings HQ channels.
Regards,
Andrew Galea

Well, we finally made it and we hope it was worth the wait.
When we started this adventure, we had an idea that we could try build up the Warhammer community in Ireland. Since then, we’ve had a lot of comments, suggestions, thoughts and ideas and things have expanded hugely. Now we cater for Warhammer Fantasy Battle, Warhammer 40k, Warmachine/Hordes plus others too.
Alongside the site, we’ve developed a forum for wargames and a place for clubs to meet, chat and arrange events. It’s the home of the Irish rankings system and our European Team Championship teams for Warhammer and Warhammer 40k. On top of that, you can enjoy our regular eZine – The Uplink – which is on Issue Four at present or listen to the North Wexford Gamers podcast too.
We hope you like our new website and forum layout. It’s taken a while to get everything arranged and laid out, but we’re happy we got there.
If you’d like to keep up-to-date with everything on the site you can follow us on Twitter or subscribe to the news feed in your favourite news client.
We hope you enjoy your stay with us.
