Hobby Homies

I posted in another channel figured I would post here too. Please delete if not allowed. Just one’s opinion on some awesome Aussies that deserve more attention than they currently receive. 50/50 would recommend!

For those who have not yet checked out, Hobby Homies, it would behoove you to do so immediately. I found them looking up content for games like County Road Z and hobby advice & it was the best discovery I have ever made. So much so, I went back and listened to the entire four year backlog of podcast on Spotify.

Their discord community is partly why I became so invested because everyone is extremely welcoming and engaging. If you have a question or are interested in a specific game system, chances are someone there would be able to help you out or bounce ideas off. There’s also quite the amount of amazing posts to just see pictures of what everyone is working on.

They’re on YouTube, Spotify, and I’m sure other podcast platforms, Patreon, and Discord. Please give them a listen! If the Discord link expires, just look up Hobby Homies and you’ll eventually find your way to the best hobby discovery you’ve ever made too!

Looking for a simple but fun skirmish level campaign game

Recently, I've been curious about trying a campaign style game where your team gets better as the games progress. About 5-20 models per player is the game size I'm looking for here. I took a look at Necromunda because I like the Mad Max kind of vibe it gives off and the models looked fun to paint. Then I saw the size of the rulebook and started having second thoughts. My favorite miniatures game is Warhammer Underworlds due to the fact that I can teach someone to play it in about 10-15 minutes. That's about the level of complexity I'm looking for here. Any suggestions? Did I over estimate the complexity of Necromunda?

Game State store Singapore

Does anyone know what happened to the Game State store in Singapore? I was there in January and they had a large selection of Bolt Action, Black Powder, Black Seas, Victory at Sea and other Warlord Games systems. In March, I noticed that it was listed as temporarily closed on Google maps and they were not replying to messages. Now, it seems to have disappeared completely

Help ID a PC wargame

I'm having a surprisingly hard time finding a PC game on Steam that I came across within the last 3 years. In essence, it's a hex and counter wargame where modern military units (possibly even with NATO counters) are pitted against an invasion force that is demonic, interdimensional or Lovecraftian.

I've been up and down steam trying to find this through tag searches, but it's proving exceptionally difficult. Does anybody remember this damn game?

Thx
