The Marvelous Miscellany of MMcV

[mmcv]

General update on last month's progress: https://mmcvhistory.home.blog/2021/06/02/progress-update-may-2021/

Turned out to be quite a productive month.

On a non-wargaming note, I've always loved cooking, and over the past year or so have been trying to make healthier choices to bring my weight down. I started blogging some of the recipes and cooking styles I've been using here: https://mmcv.food.blog/.

No fancy glamour shots of beautiful plates of food carefully arranged on crumpled table cloths with a scattering of flowers around them...just good food that I like to cook and eat. Will be adding more in future as I have the time/interest in doing so. Have a backlog of around 50 recipes in draft that I need to cook and write up, and will likely have 50 more by the time I get through them! So if you're interested feel free to have a look.

Thanks!

Prince Deiphobus & the Trojan Royal Guard:





No doubt some more sons of Priam's fruitful loins in there too.

Decided to go with Ilium's famed Scaean Gates as their emblem and give them a bit more of a uniform appearance as an elite unit.

As with my other Trojan War units, full basing will be done at the end for consistency.

Thanks 

Back to the ECW with some Royalists, the Shrewsbury Foot, mostly comprising the remains of Henry Tillier's and Robert Broughton's regiments of foot, along with a few others.





Ended up being somewhat camouflaged in their shades of green!

Lovely work .

[Techno II]

Good stuff again, Matthew. 

Cheers - Phil.

Very nice

Thanks!

Some Greek Hoplites:





And Mycenean Chariots for Trojan War (final basing pending):





Not so keen on these as it's a little hard to tell which way is the front. Tempted to turn one of the chariots around and give them a warrior in the car to make it a bit clearer. Will see how I feel about it in a few days. These were an experiment that I based and primed a while back then painted directly on the base to see how it would go since chariots are fiddly on painting sticks. Since then I've got a few figures attacking from a chariot that may add a bit more dynamism to the base.

[Techno II]

Very nice, Matthew. 

Cheers - Phil.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those look great

Some Romans to round out the month:






Though of course now I see the picture I realise one or two of the shields needs to be touched up a little!

Those legionaries are looking good!

I don't know, but I've been told, that our eagle's made of gold!
Made of gold?
So I'm told.
