Warlord Napoleonic Prussians

Found these nine troops lurking in a cupboard so thought I would paint them up and see how they turned out. As always with Warlord figures they are great clean casts so that made them easier to paint. Hope you like them.

Imperial Roman Army

My 28mm Roman Army from Warlord Games. Just thought I would show some more historical painting on a large army scale.

International Tabletop Day...

So I've returned from Tabletop Nations hosting of International Tabletop Day and what a great day it was too. Apart from us guys at JAG, running Dystopian Wars, Bushido, SAGA and Carnevale, there were loads of other participation games going on. Star Wars, Dreadball, Aeronautica Imperalis, Carcasonne, Warmachine, and Spartacus to name but a few. Plenty of old friends like Rid from Fanplasticlittlemen , and loads of new faces too came along and enjoyed playing games all day.

If you want to see some pictures and videos of the day then pop over to Beasts of War.

Good fun, good company and well worth doing again next year.

Hope to see you all there.

An epic tale

So myself and Rear Admiral Lee took the the high seas the other night to play a game of Dystopian Wars. It was a naval encounter with tiny fliers only and it proved to be a real tough time for the British fleet.

The fleets face off as Rear Admiral Lee checks the weather report in the Channel.

First blood to the French as a cruiser goes down to the combined power of the French cruisers and frigates.

Meanwhile on the other flank the British fliers advance only to be met by the French Ack Ack (I did warn him lol)

At this stage Martin realised that he might have manoeuvred himself badly as his battleship was stuck.

With the hull points starting to rack up the French closed in for the kill and destroyed the rest of the British fleet.

A great evening of gaming with two nicely balanced forces. The dice were very kind to me on this outing.

WWII Bolt Action Japanese

So with no real projects on the go at the moment and with Salute looming large very soon, so having to save money for new toys, I decided that it would be a good idea to pull out this box of metal Warlord Games Bolt Action WWII Japanese Infantry and get them painted up. They had already been based and undercoated so last night I sat down for a few hours and a while this morning to finish them up. As they arent a force I use I shall be advertising them for sale on eBay.

New 7TV Henchman

OK so trying different colours for my henchmen, blue for the good guys and orange for the bad, what do you think ?
