'A Tale of Four Gamers'

And well and truly ruined. You've just created a conservation programme, Lemmey. Good work.

Finished another 10man Late war Kraut Squad for BA - only one more squad to go and a recently arrived PAK40 and Crew. Then its onto vehicles. Next up will be the Cabbage heads to take on my Sausage munchers.

Cabbage, Sauerkraut and Sausage... a recipe for flatulence if ever I saw one

In 10mm...

I will make that announcement tonight after my usual intake of alcoholic beverage

There may even be a chance for forum members to vote, although after the last escapade you put me through (Saxons...!  ) I doubt I will listen

Once again  work has completely put the kaibosh on any painting this week . However I hope to make a bit of progress tonight as it's only a couple of weeks until MadFest!

Nice one Steve

So, 10mm choices to paint alongside my 28mm Cabbage Heads are:

1. Arthurian for Dux Brittanarium/Bellorum - based and undercoated. Would aim to have these done by Christmas

2. Vikings (will I EVER finish them???) - project started about 1/3rd of the way through. Would aim to have these done by Christmas

3. Napoleonic Austrians - still in bags. Long term project, not keen to start until the range is finished.

4. ECW/TYW - based and undercoated. Both sides - lots and lots to do!

5. Medieval Scots as allies for my HYW French - based and undercoated. My own personal preference given I could paint a few units at a time.

6. Byzantine - still in bags. Another miniature manufacturers range... Ssssssshhhhh! Leon might be listening!!!

7. Napoleonic French - based and undercoated. Another miniature manufacturers range... Ssssssshhhhh! Leon might be listening!!!

Persuade me!

I'd go Arthurian as I love the period (ever since I was a kid) and you have the new rulesets to try then out with .

Oh and I've managed to get three early war Quads and one Horch car painted and Devlin Mud washed tonight, ready for drybrushing etc tomorrow if I can find the time.

Totally agree with Ray...Great stuff Lemmey !!
Cheers - Phil.

I vote Arthurian too Nosher - or your Vikings...been waiting fecking ages to see them done 

[Nosher]

sh*t day sport wise on the box so managed to make a HUGE dent in that last squad of Late War Krauts for BA (faces, hands and flocking to do!), so much so that one more session should see them off as ANOTHER completed project (less the vehicles...).

Jury's still out on my next 10mm project...

Tribal irregular cavalry for the Abyssinians are coming on nicely, though I'm back at work.

Persuade me!

You are feeling very sleepy  



When you wake, you will have the irresistible urge to read the appropriate Bernard Cornwell novels and paint Derfel Cadarn et al  

Persuasive enough?

Psssst, you can use a beggar wizard to stand in for Derfel as narrator 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

It must have backfired, I spent two hours painting buildings last night!

ps thanks for the tip! I  have one of those recently painted...

[FierceKitty]

The Abyssinian horse are nearly done, guns getting there. Quite a lot of tribesmen to be done, but they're fairly simple. I'll be free to paint Aztecs soon.

Intriguing Nik - 10mm FIW skirmish? For Muskets and Tomahawks??

Possibly mate - not got 'em yet...before I pick them up, I'll use Brother Against Brother and/or Legends of the Old West (both with the appropriate modding) 

This particular project is something I've been thinking about for ages & have managed to do it from surplus figs left over from my FIW Maurice armies 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

2 regts of Prussian Uhlans, 3 batteries of French 1870 artillery, and a reg of zouaves assembled to help with Thursday's game! I LOVE half term!

[Nosher]

Just finished the last of the Late War German Infantry for Bolt Action, so well on track to finish that project by December 31st given there is just a Pak40 and Crew, a Hetzer and two half tracks to finish.

Photo's tommorow if we get another morning like we had here today in Sunny Suffolk!

So, (as well as finishing the Late War German project) I am going to be brave and suggest that I am going to see how far I can get with FOUR projects by December 31st as follows:

Main Project
28mm Commando's for Bolt Action - similar sized force and composition to late war krauts - make as big a dent as possible in the project!

Secondary Projects

a) 6 point 28mm Scots warband for SAGA
b) 10mm Vikings - attempt to finish by Christmas (again!)
c) Medieval Scots - break the back of these so I have decent sized ally for my French HYW
