About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Liebster Blog Award

Another meme is doing the blogger rounds - the Liebster Blog Awards. the rules are pretty simple - if you have received one of these awards, you put a post up with a link back to the blogger who gave you the award, then award it to 5 other blogs that you think deserve it.



So, Anne of Anne's Attic got given the award, then named me as one of her 5 awardees. Curses - now I have to decide which 5 blogs I follow deserve the award (that haven't been given it already). It's going to be very tough to narrow it down.

I guess it has to be these 5 folks:

Mike Whitaker over at Trouble At T'Mill - if for no other reason than his excellent and informative series of posts on horse colours and heraldry.

Curt over at Analogue Hobbies - fantastic painting and a great guy

Colonel Shofer's Mild OCD Model Blog - whilst we see very little of his own work, he does an amazing job of linking through to inspiring work on other peoples' blogs, youtube channels and suchlike.

Brovatar over at Den of Imagination - fantastic modelling and painting

Frontline Gamer - for his Sunday Sermons if for no other reason. This blog is always entertaining and informative and he deserves kudos for all the work that goes into keeping it going.

So, there you go. That's my 5 nominees for the award. I'm certain that I've overlooked some that are equally deserving.

  1. I really don't know whether to thank you or to curse your bloody name!!! God damnit...

    Now I have to do this myself, do you even know how many chuffing Blogs I follow? I'm so going to piss somebody off.

    Thanks though, it is nice to know that the work I put in is appreciated.

    Cheers

  2. Hurrah! Congrats, Tamsin!

    Sounds like the 'Stylish Blogger Awards' silliness that infected the blogosphere a couple of years ago :-)

  3. This is why I keep my blogs bland and uninteresting, so I don't have to deal with awards. :p

    Congrats, Tamsin!

  11. thanks all!

    @ Frontline Gamer - sorry! (not!) I do know what you mean about the thought that some people will be upset if you don't pick them. However, I'm sure that most people will understand if they aren't picked.

    @ Anne - I'm not blaming or cursing you! My curses were purely for the process of picking 5 awardees :)
