The Relics:Armistice League is kicking off and one of the major teams of the league are the Britanan Jorjanian Patriots.

This is my team that I painted over the past few days and hope to see them in action on the field very soon.

Grumpy Old Wargamers Convention

Last weekend saw the inaugural outing for The Grumpy Old Wargames Convention held at Tabletop Nation. This conn is the brainchild of Templarscrusade01, if you are regular YouTube'r, if not his name is Brian and a thoroughly nice chap he is too.

The weekend was extremely well attended with tons a gamers running demos, a painting competition and more YouTube celebs than you could shake a stick at.

I met loads of great people including Spud, Andy and Chuffy, three YouTube guys who were great fun and not forgetting Chuffys lovely wife who spent a lot of time hanging with us watching Relics.

Me and Gav chat in the background whilst Spud beats a Yank into submission with the Britanans.

For the most part myself and the rest of the JAG guys spent the weekend supporting Gav of Tor Gaming fame by running Relics demos for both days. The game went down a storm, just as it always does and Wayland Games sold tons of models and the new rulebook, so much so that Gav had to keep running out to his warehouse (car) to restock them.

Day ones painting competition was well supported with some lovely minis, shame they didnt have a separate category for the pro painters who insisted on entering but hey ho.

Southend Wargames were running a truly huge FoW D-Day landings table, with 16 Allied players trying to take the beaches.

The YouTubers had a Q&A session in the bar and Beasts of War were filming all day and doing studio tours too boot.

Sunday was a relaxed day of gaming for everyone who attended and the guys who were so bust the day before got a chance to come try some games. Over on the Relics table we showed Warren from Beasts of War and a few of the guys how to play and they all enjoyed it. Must apologise to Gav as I think the Pueri are now known as Floating Naked Ladies and the Panetentium are now Sado-masochistic Dwarfs (try saying that one Brian).

A truly brilliant weekend that myself and the JAG guys will be back to fully support next year as this can only get bigger and better.

Some Relics Time.

Well the next month see's a few Relics events. Kicks off next weekend down at TabletopNation with the Tor Gaming Expo day on the 11th. At this event JAg will be running demos, there is a tournament, painting competitions, Worthy Painting will be there too and Joey Berry may well be in town too.

Also at TTN on the 8/9 June there is the Grumpy Old Gamers Convention with loads of demo games to join in and once again JAG will be in attendance with Tor Gaming to run Relics and hopefully the new sports game R:AL (Relics: Armistice League).

So if you can come on down and play some awesome games, meet some great people, buy some excellent figures and if you dont fancy painting them you can always ask me.

Salute 2013 is nearly here.

With just a week now until the mega event that is Salute 2013, the UKs premier Wargames show at Excel, the excitement is building. Us guys at JAG will be busy on the day running demo tables for Warlord Games, Tor Gaming and Wayland Games add to that the vast amount of shopping we all want to do and its gonna be a hectic one again. Looking forward to catching up with some old friends again and making a load of new ones. So if you are going dont forget to stop by and say hi at one of the games we are running.

Britanan Highlanders for Relics

So started last night and finished these this morning. They are Britanan Highlanders from the excellent Relics range by Tor Gaming.

I have put up a range of pictures to show the stages I went through with painting them, hope you enjoy the finished models.

Stage one, undercoat them in white.

Stage two, wash them in Nuln Oil to pick out the detail

Stage three, apply the base colors for flesh etc.

Stage four, add colors for hair etc.

Stage five, is to add other detail colors for belts and metal

Stage six, is to add the detail for the tartan and pick out stitching highlights

Stage seven is to wash the model in agrax earthshade to redefine some of the detail

Stage eight was to add basing materials and do final touch ups.

Stage nine is to take em outside for a photo shoot...

Here are some of the latest models I have painted.

These models are from Copplestone and are from their Kiss Kiss Bang Bang range.

A couple of Sodapop minis from Super Dungeon Explore

These are Britanans from Tor Gaming Relics range.
