Bristol Big'Uns
Welcome to our forums. The Bristol Big'Uns are a group of people who enjoy fantasy, science fiction and historical wargames. We tend to play mostly table-top wargames but you will sometimes see CCGs, CMGs, RPGs or board games. If this sounds like a hobby you currently enjoy then why not come along. The club is based at Iron Acton, between Bristol and Yate, in the recently refurbished Parish Hall and is held Sunday evenings from 6 pm until 10 pm. There are tables and chairs available plus various sized scenic mats and terrain for table-top wargames. Please bring with you any drinks or snacks that you require.

    Lockdown Projects?

    Hi

    I have been working from home for a month now and despite work being busy I find myself with a bit more hobby time at the moment. Has anyone made use of any extra time to do wargames stuff?

    For my part I have dug out my"Old West" unfinished project, undercoated about 20 figures and built 5 out of the 6 MDF buildings that have been sitting in my garage for far too many years. Photos to follow...

    I've not manged to pick up a paintbrush yet, but I'm guessing there's still plenty time for the situation to change. My gaming related activities have been limited to getting enthusiastic about Napoleonics, ECW & Fantasy. I've also wended many an hour watching 8th edition WHFB games on YouTube 

    Cheers

    My 6th and final Old West building, the sheriffs office, is progressing slower than i had hoped but i was slightly distracted by building a gallows and painting my first gang of cowboys. Pictures to follow, honest !

    Been pretty busy myself during the lock down.Was working until Wednesday this week but now home in isolation due to cough 😷, no other symptoms but work wasn’t taking any chances.
    Done plenty of painting including group sessions  with other Biguns over messenger plus some Kings of War 6mm over FaceTime with Ed all have been great fun.
    Anyway Keep safe everyone.
