Final dry brush done :)

Figure bases painted :)

Both before Pierre the Shy arrived to pick me up for a day trip to Palmerston North for a large Modern Spearhead game with some friends up there we don't get to play with as often as we would like

Thanks Pierre the Shy for a nice day trip to Palmerston North / Frankenau, Germany in 1979 :)

I'll post a link to our host's blog once he has a report up, the terrain was very impressive, and the game went well :) :)

Current figures sorted ready for basing :)

Next batch on the painting rods ready to be undercoated if once the day warms up :-w

Basing to do in the mean time :!!

Flock touched up on current batch :)

Horses base coated on the next batch :)

The LOA range horses are significantly taller and thinner than the ECW range :-\
The senior officers obviously ride finer bred horses ;)

hmmm lots of shiny new stuff coming out from PM lately........just have to keep calm and stay on target with our ECW W3K project  O:-)

Our plan is to do enough English units first to play some reasonable sized games (Montgomery) then start the Scots. 

Keeping one eye on the TB stuff coming out for future reference.


Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.

Are you holding the wand correctly? How's your Latin pronunciation? Have you tried other spells? :P
