I will look at putting together a battle report, but for now...





These are painted by Peter  :)

No metal work painted tonight  :( but I did put together a report on Colmins http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10436.msg127598.html#msg127598  ;)

Just watched 'Admiral' the 2008 film about this and then the Russian Civil War. Cool film http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral_(film)
You may refer to me as: Your Grace, Duke Speedy of Leighton.

Current batch painted, just needs the wash (which I will do before I go out tonight for a Napoleonic game)  :)  :D

All bases for current batch now prep'ed  :)

Next batch, two battalions of infantry, a machine gun battery and artillery spotter (all German), are cleaned up and washed and should hopefully be undercoated tomorrow  :)

Very pleased with a productive day today  :D

Should be all set for some basing tomorrow

Current batch washed, highlighted and bases painted green, so ...

Painted
256 Infantry, Dismounted cavalry & gunners
103 Cavalry
9 Guns
368 Total

:) :) :)

Once the green bases are dry (about noon) I will sort them for basing and then put the next batch on my painting rods and undercoat.

Will hopefully make some progress on a naval AAR report while I wait for them to dry  ;)

The ships are those that took part in the action off Gotland in 1915.

German minelaying mission mugged by Russian cruisers as they returned to base.

The AAR of our naval game at Call to Arms can be found here, http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10520.0.html

Some patchy progress on this project

Have base coated the current batch of German infantry and MGs  :)

Also based three of the four "battalions" of British from the last batch  :)

Will hopefully finish basing the British on Saturday and varnish on Sunday (forecast looks promising)  :) :)

May even get to do some painting on the Germans as well ;)
