The Hoplites only come with overhand spears - clearly they were manufactured long before the current farrago.

What's up with the DAK (from an FSN perspective) - I realise that this is perhaps a foolish, or even dangerous question...

I seem to recall an aversion to prone figures rather colourfully expressed

To confirm the butterfly effect:

This is the carefully organised tray of stuff that came off the painting desk a couple of weeks ago


And this is the stuff that I sprayed at the weekend

which is pretty much all for a single project!! But not that same as any of the others of course.

Prone figures - these are great for WWII games, its the standing ones that are really a bit odd!!

Shamed myself in to some clearing of the decks  :-[



Only 3 projects in front of me!!



  • Halflings
  • Gladiators
  • WWI Big Stuff
(and some WM Chariots)

The Halflings are proper old school - that have been dug out of storage to play Songs of Blades and Heroes with my daughters - the eldest has used these guys a couple of times, and has really go the hang of using them to mob the enemy. These include 3 of my first metal figures, which must be 30+ years old. I have just been tidying up chipped and missing paint, and doing some basing. So I have moved these guys on tonight - painted a couple of shirts light blue, a few bags reddish brown, the bases green, and given them a wash of brown. A bit of flock on the bases, and some dullcote, and they will be finished.

Gladiators - just a bit of highlighting of flesh. Need to focus on one figure and finish it - as these are now at the detail stages.

WWI Big Stuff - no progress tonight, but know where I am going with these (I think!!)
