The Wargaming World of Nozza

Maid Marian and Her Merry Men was a British children’s comedy series produced by the BBC that aired from 1989 to 1994. Created and written by Tony Robinson (best known for his role as Baldrick in Blackadder) the show offered a deliberately irreverent and subversive take on the traditional Robin Hood legend. Rather than presenting Robin as the noble hero, it gleefully inverted expectations. In this version, Maid Marian (Kate Lonergan) is the true leader and intellectual driving force behind the Merry Men, while Robin Hood (Wayne Morris) is reimagined as a vain, self-obsessed, and rather dim figure, more concerned with his appearance and musical ambitions than with heroism. Supporting characters such as Little Ron , Barrington , and Rabies added to the show’s chaotic humour, while Tony Robinson himself appeared as the Sheriff of Nottingham, portrayed not as a fearsome tyrant but as a petulant, scheming buffoon, often undermined by his own incompetence and his equally inept henchmen....

"The Lost Boys" is a cult classic horror-comedy from 1987, directed by Joel Schumacher. It’s a stylish blend of teen angst, vampire mythology, and rock 'n' roll attitude, all set in the fictional coastal town of Santa Carla, California —a place with a serious vampire problem. After moving to Santa Carla, brothers Michael and Sam Emerson quickly realize the town isn’t just weird - it’s dangerous. Michael gets drawn into a gang of mysterious, leather-clad youths led by the enigmatic David , and after a fateful night involving some suspicious wine (read: vampire blood), he begins to change. Meanwhile, Sam teams up with the eccentric Frog Brothers , self-proclaimed vampire hunters who suspect something sinister is lurking beneath the town’s laid-back vibe. As Michael wrestles with his transformation, Sam and the Frogs race to uncover the truth and save him. The only way to break the curse? Kill the head vampire. But figuring out who that is… well, that’s where things...

I picked up these Reaper Miniatures from one of their Kickstarters. To be honest, I'd totally forgotten about them, until the parcel turned. I think I backed them back in 2019 and the Kickstarter got delayed by Covid and was delivered earlier this year. These were an absolute joy to paint, and it was nice to be able to use some brighter paint colours that I own.
