About BLMA

BLMA is dedicated to my passion for Miniatures Painting, Wargaming, RPG’s and gaming in general. I’m keenly interested in Military History and am an enthusiastic (if amateur) photographer so this Blog tends to be picture heavy!

Expect to find posts about my Current Projects, Wargame Shows and Living History events I have attended, Book Reviews and even the occasional modeling Tutorial.

I am a founding member of the Dagenham Dungeon Delvers a group of long time friends who meet bi-weekly to play D&D 4th Edition. I also play the Hollow Earth Expedition and Call of Cthulhu RPG systems.

I’m also a member of Posties Rejects a group based in Kent who wargame a wide range of periods and rules systems including
Fire and Fury and
General de Brigade. Last (but not least) I play the Flames of War rules, focusing on the Normandy Campaign of 1944.

Rejects on Tour - Broadside 2012

Rejects on Tour - Broadside 2012
Posties Rejects are running a display game at this years event. Come and say hello and see how real amateurs do it. Roll a few dice, swap some war stories, or just point and laugh!
