'A Tale of Four Gamers'

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

More work on Tlaxcalans, just feathers and shields to go on main painting, after an enthralling evening painting weapons and headbands!

[Leman]

Today I get to box off the remaining Hanoverians, then it is on to dealing with the marshland pieces.

[Subedai]

Yay, banners done on 8 husaria comrades, four more chaps nearly finished, just got to sort out a standard for them. Officer packs arrived today so 6 assorted infantry officers and musicians and 3 of the same for the husaria are all undercoated and will be ready to be started on tonight. Thursday evening means I get all evening to paint coz it's Physic Thursday and Ma Subs is glued to the telly-box.

Making up some ancient north Africans for a Numidian army. Should be an interesting change of opponent for the big ones in the area.

48 Tlaxcalan Warriors done and varnished since Monday; will get based tonight.

[FierceKitty]

First unit of imitation legionaries for Numidians are painted and based. Front rank Newlines imperial auxiliaries, second rank Pendraken sub-Roman British militia. I think they'll pass muster, what with darker skin and Thanit or palm trees on the shields.

Getting closer to finishing off the Dragon Men 'riders'

Been chopping off umpteen arms and giving breast reductions to all of the witch elves, for the past two days.

Cheers - Phil

Still chugging along with the officers. Had the weekend off mostly because we went to stay with our son, his wife and our little granddaughter at their place near Enfield (Middlesex fro the geographically challenged). A great time was had by all, especially when our daughter, other son and Ma Sub's father turned up from Brum  -sneaky daughter in law and our daughter had arranged it all.
  Did a bit last night when we got back and will get more time tonight because there are more paranormal programmes on. Won't get any done tomorrow evening because it's the FA Cup replay between my team and some lot in red from Manchester and it's on normal telly! I'm going for a West Ham v Watford final.

Yep, same attitude here and I get told off for not being 'open-minded' enough. My attitude is if it's on the tv it's cr*p. Unfortunately others believe everything that's shown.

Need some quick Italian Wars Impetus armies for the club, so dug out my old 6mm stuff, mostly not based but reasonably painted about 2 decades ago for a project that never took off. Had a happy day basing them up on 60mm frontage bases whilst my Langensalza scenery dried. Amazed at what I found tucked away - 8 medieval tents, a stand of prostitutes, civilians for the period, 6 supply wagons, including two beauties from the H and R WOR range, and even a train of pack mules. Anyway, all that glorious gendarme plumage etc. based up so i can run a Pike and Plunder campaign down the club.

Just dug out a load of German armour for my planned '39 campaign. I got a bit of a shock when I realised that my dear wife bought me this shedload of German stuff 8 years ago and I've barely painted more than a few items since then:-[

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Ouch!

[Steve J]

Primed a regiment of a Light Panzer Division today for BKCII and then base coated and washed some of them. Highlights etc tonight and then more base coating. At least it's a start

[FierceKitty]

Numidians are done. Here goes....

o urbem venalem, et mox perituram, si emptorem invenerit!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Lots-lots-lots-lots-lots-lots-many-three Tlaxcalans underway.

[Subedai]

Hadjuk officers and musicians chaps done and command bases sanded, painting later.

Husaria command chaps started.

First unit of Cossacks cleaned and prepped ready for undercoat.

[FierceKitty]

Numidians are done. Here goes....

o urbem venalem, et mox perituram, si emptorem invenerit!

And they've just been varnished too.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Weapons, hair and red and white headbands done on Tlaxcalans, shields, animal helms and animal prints to do...
Bozz-eyed now! 

[FierceKitty]

May improvise a trebuchet to lend some period flavour to crusades camps today.
