The people behind valour games
Hi I’m Callum. I got into wargaming in 2006 with the Mines of Moria MESBG set. Since then I’ve expanded my hobby into Age of Sigmar, 40K and Magic: The Gathering and have represented Scotland twice in Age of Sigmar. I moved to Edinburgh in 2024 and was disappointed to find no central hub for the wargaming community. So the idea of Valour Games was born. You can find me front-of-house, meeting the community and making sure everyone feels welcome.
Hi, I’m Morag. I got into wargaming in the 1980s, playing The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, HeroQuest, reading White Dwarf and buying metal minis. It’s been a long time since I played, but I still love the hobby and being part of the wargaming community. You’ll find me in the background of Valour Games, taking care of all the admin stuff and keeping the tech running while Callum is out front.
