A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[O Dinas Powys]

Finally got a chance to get some figures out after far too long!

Decided to evaluate my 2mm forces to see what I could put together for One-Hour Wargames as well as the Dux Bellorum they were originally intended for and sent to Irregular for some reinforcements and strips for two medieval armies.

Also picked up a 6mm Tusk pack with the aim of getting a quick game sorted to play with the sproggs - work on the 10mm stuff having stalled due both lack of time and me prevaricating about how to render the perfect simulation of the Pleistocene interglacial environment and hunter-prey interaction! 

Hopefully the weather will hold today so I can get some stuff spray-primed 

Cheers!

I seem to recall that another forum member has a set of rules he uses for participation games for something very similar
If I remember rightly it involved Mammoths

That was probably me, I've got a load of 10&15mm animals (partly) painted, but I was dithering on basing and how to do the hunters.

Anyway, progress on the 6mm incarnation: all mammoths painted, just need varnishing; blobs of brown are appearing on the hunters!

Hoping to it mostly finished so I can take it on holiday next week and try and tempt the sproggs into a game

Cheers!

About half way through the chivalry and coats of arms on 12 28mm knights for a friend

[O Dinas Powys]

Squeezed in a couple of hours today 

Painted a load of 2mm strips silver or brown and whited out the shields, flags and caparisons.  Just got to decide whether to do the opposing forces in predominantly red and blue; red and white; or some other combination... 

Also varnished the Tusk mini-mammoths and almost finished the cavemen stands - lots of random brown and grey leathers/furs, flesh and hair.  Only the weaponry to finish

Just about finished the Korean War Brit commandos. (The ones with the berets, anyway.)
Gotta check what the next things on the list are.......Think they're commandos, too....But this time with cap comforters (whatever those are  )

I'll check with Sunray and Nobby......And better get some piccies done, for checking.

Finishing off a 45mm tall figure. Seems to have taken forever.

Cap comforter  


Like the Airfix Commandos wore. I'll dig out some more piccies over the weekend.

Thanks, Nobby !

12 28mm medieval French knights done for a friend. Many hours of heraldry. Actually, 11 French knights and 1 that is the owner!    

Sleep now...

Currently putting boots on a second regiment of DamYankees; just finished a Fokker Dr. I, and am wishing I had the plastic rods which I ordered several weeks ago to base it.
Eagerly watching out for our feathered friends every morning....

The Amazing Mrs Denham too the youngest swimming this afternoon, the eldest has been curled up on the sofa all day feeling pesky, so the paints came out for an hour.
Three stands of Warband Dark Elf extras completed apart from one flag and the basing.
Started highlighting some 15mm Roman cavalry for the next commission.
Plus ink and some base layer on epic 6mm Eldar.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Base layers complete on Eldar, Roman cavalry basic highlights done. Dark Elf flag sorted!

[FierceKitty]

Virginia and Connecticut regiments done; undercoating New Yorkers and Tennessee forces.

Painting on 18 x 15mm Late Roman Cavalry (commission) finished tonight. They will be based for their owner in the next few days. Spent 3.5 hours on shields, and they're not even a complex one!! 

Also got the second highlight in my 10 epic Eldar vehicles tonight.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Sixteen 15mm Renaissance cavalry, 3 Epic Eldar night spinners finished tonight.
Five stands of Epic Eldar Scouts started.
Just waiting on Leon & crew to send through 'special basing' for my Eldar vehicles.

[FierceKitty]

Plastic rods have arrived at last from the US. A bit of 1918 air action soon, I think.

Oooo...

2mm progress last night

Also shovelled PVA/filler onto my 6mm Tusk bases so they currently look like Christmas cake toppers!  

Still can't decide between the classic snowfield; verdant interglacial or fecund step-tundra looks though...

Cheers!

Five stands of Eldar scouts finished tonight apart from basing.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

One Warband base, one base of Triarii, 6 anti-tank obstacles, 9 jet bikes bases, and one character base sand & pva'd tonight. Inks tomorrow, painting and flock and tufts, all before their first outing on Thor's day!
Hoping Leon and co send the other bases through quick so I can get the vehicles flying too!
