Camps

I've been putting together a couple of camps for Hordes of War

Araby - this is about 50% Pendraken figures, 50% GW, with a couple of Magister Militum thrown in as well.






A couple of bits to finish, but 90% done.

The second one is for my Empire army - This time mostly GW figures, but a few Pendraken ones, especially towards the back. Gone for a more military look to this one.





A bit of painting to do on this still, and quite a bit of basing work too.

Very colorful and atmospheric. I particularly like the hog wallow!

In an Islamic army? Are you trying to promote your position on ISIS' list of targets?

[petercooman]

Pretty sure those are cheap on the araby camp 

[Womble67]

Absolutely love them

Take care

Would make perfect Strongholds for HOTT armies! That's where you really get to do some fun modeling! Very creative and nicely done.

Glad you like them chaps. They were a good way of using the various figures from GW command packs and the Pendraken civilians and accessories.

FK - I think you will find it is our Germanic friends who are stockpiling the hogs / pigs (along with gun powder...).

The Araby base has sheep, goats and camels.

WWII French

Managed to get quite a bit of painting time this weekend so made significant gains - this lot went from bare metal or just undercoated  to finished in the weekend.



Having played Rommel on Friday night, I wanted to get my French 1940 forces up to a playable state - basically they needed lots of infantry adding to the piles of tanks!

So this lot is what I got painted, (mostly Pithead figures)
2 Laffley trucks with Dragoon Portee aboard
4 Cavalry (I think these could well be Poles, but its 10mm and they have Adrian Helmets)
3 bases of Dragoon Portee motorcycle combos (these are Pendraken and very nice figures)
12 bases of Infantry

So this gives me the a good sized French Battlegroup



I still have a bit more infantry to paint - mainly Pendraken Dragoon Portes.

Wow Forbes! Good effort chap.

Really nice work, Forbes.

Cheers - Phil
