2026 Open Day photo round up

Andy shares a 2026 Open Day photo round up.

Yesterday the Society staged its Open Day, putting on half a dozen games.

Here are a few photos in, roughly, historical order

Barons War (13th Century)

Andy’s sergeants charge Stephen’s Lowlanders
The remnants of Andy’s Knights charge Stephen’s Burghers, while the crossbows and spearmen guard the livestock
Stephen’s knights charge through the village, Andy’s Crossbows in front of them and archers behind.

Stephen has fallen! Only one of his knights left.

Commando raid, WW2, 1940’s (0200 Hours Rules)

Somewhere on the coast of France…
… canoeists approach the U-boat.
A commando lays his charges
Fido has smelt something.
Turn out the Guard!

Vietnam (1960’s – 70’s) Charlie don’t Surf rules

Out in the ‘Nam
ACAVs advance down the road.
Dustoff on standby
The firebase

Technicals, somewhere in Africa, 1970’s – 80’s, home grown rules

Technicals parked up ready for their next game.

Apologies to David, I only got one photo of his game, if any are shared by other members I’ll update the post.

We now depart history for some more whimsical,and fantastical, games.

A Clash of Rhyfles, battles with the Quar.

Crusader Quar advance against…
… their opponents, the Principality Of Gwynt
Crusaders pass a fallen comrade
A Crusader Cook / Medic on the latest mechanical contraption rushes to the casualty’s aid.
The Principality Of Gwynt pluck counter

And finally, some Dragon Rampant.

A three way stand off? Ogre vs Dragon vs warriors
A selection of Chaotic troops
A fight over the village

That’s all for now. Our next open day will be in June next year, but if you fancy coming along to the club we meet between 10:00 and 17:00 on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month (only the first of these in December) at Linton Village Hall, Linton Hill (A229), Maidstone. The first two meetings attended are free for prospective members, and subs are prorated.

You can find more details and directions here.

Open Day Games – Part 2

A second post looking at games for our Open Day, and for this one we have two differnet games.

The first being a game of the 2nd edition of Dragon Rampant, I’m not entirely sure why or even if the pig will be making an appearance, but I do expect to see these Chaos knights.

And for the other game, the Quar have arrived for a game of Clash of Rhyfles.

The clash will be between the Royalist Gwynt faction and the Crusaders.

Hopefully we will see you at our Open Day.

Open Day games – part 1

With our 2026 Open Day just six days away, we take a closer look at some of the games that members are putting on.

We start with Chris S and Dave S who will be running a game of Legions Imperialis. As a neat twist Chris has been kitbashing units and buildings for the game.

A bridgelayer tank has been converted with some parts from other tracked vehicles.

Buildings and tower blocks have been constructed from scratch.

And a great selection of old toys have been chopped up and reconstructed to make various vehicles, including tanks ans VTOL craft.

We are looking forward to seeing these models painted up for the game.

Society Open Day 2026

Our Open Day will be on the 27th June this year. We’re open to the public from 11am – 4pm on the day.

This is a great day to come and see the society in action and throw some dice in one of the various games we will have on the day and chat to the membership about the hobby and the club.

This year we have a selection of games on offer, which might just be the incentive you need to either get back into the hobby or to find a new home for your own armies and games.

Vietnam 10mm Vietnam
Legions Imperialis 12mm Science Fiction
Dragon Rampant 28mm Fantasy
