Dragging out the microarmour

The prospect of being able to do some micro armour gaming soon, has prompted me to look at my moderns for the first time since the move.. they need some renovation / finishing / re-basing but here they are (I suspect there is more kicking around somewhere.)

I missed these guys, looking forward to getting them organized for CWC or whatever system we end up playing

Brigade British Fleet for Full Thrust

Inspired by the amazing artwork of Chris Foss, I’m calling these done. They’re hard to photograph so I’ll just post these two for now, the whole fleet and a closeup of the two super-dreadnaughts.  I’m quite pleased as yellow is a pain to paint

Dark ages 6mm fun

I’m really keen on trying SAGA in 6mm as inspired by Per at the rollaone blog and have my first units of Vikings based and painted.  But I also want to try and move ahead on my “We buy any Monk” solo game (where the monks are automated fleeing from the monastery and the Vikings have to attempt capture.  I’m thinking of ways of making it quite a light hearted and funny game and I’ll post it here when I work it out.  It’s been brewing at the back of my mind for a year or so.

Anyway.. I’ve got the monastery painted and my first unit of Vikings

Monastery is from Total Battle Miniatures and was a joy to paint, I really enjoyed it.


Vikings are from Baccus, I’m more or an armour painter but want to get into other periods.  These weren’t too bad and look great en mass
