I’d like to thank my parents, my agent, my proctologist…

It appears that this humble blog has been awarded a Liebster Award by Stuart of ‘Dust, Tears & Dice’! What a nice surprise!

Erm, so what exactly is a Liebster Award?

Well apparently it’s one of these chain-mail ‘send on to x-amount of people that you know’ things, but with a twist, in that it asks you to nominate some of your favourite blogs.

The rules, should you wish to follow them, are:-

1. Copy and paste the award on your blog linking it to the blogger who has given it you.

2. Pass the award to your top 5 favourite blogs with less than 200 followers by leaving a comment on one of there posts to notify them that they have won the award and listing them on your own blog.

3. Sit back and bask in the warm fuzzy feeling that comes with knowing you have made someones day!

4. There is no obligation to pass this onto someone else but its nice if you take the time to do so.

So who do I nominate?

Picking 5 blogs that I particularly like is easy – I could nominate dozens, but most of them have already been given this award - however I’ve narrowed it down to these smashing efforts...

The Lost City of Carcosa

My gaming buddy Giles’ blog, which covers not only our VBCW adventures, but his Warhammer, Lazerburn, BOB and sundry other tabletop encounters, plus cats, pizza and global warming!

Morts 1938 Scrapbook

‘Mort’, one of the founders of this whole VBCW thing, has a great blog showcasing his collection and the various ‘Big Games’ that he has organised with a flavour of Somerset.

John's Toy Soldiers

A great blog by, you’ve guessed it, a fellow called John! John’s got some great stuff on his wargaming blog and I recommend you take a look!

Four Colour Super Minis

VBCW chum Rob’s blog, featuring everything from VBCW goodness to superheroes, zombies and all manner of stuff – well worth a good trawl through.

The Duchy of Tradgardland

A blog detailing one man’s imagi-nation of Tradgardland – lots of great miniatures and modelling on this blog, plus books, DVDs and suchlike.

Please check out these rather spiffing blogs folks!
