Thanks chaps! Good to have got some 10mm figures painted again

1914 Meeting Engagement ITLSUs

Back to some early war WWI on Friday night - 2 remote players, with me moving the figures around

Teaser picture from mid/late game - might do a battle report


Another great game of ITLSU - enough friction from activations to stop things going to plan - and a lot of WWI feel to the game. 

Gothic Church Buildings
To go with the large corner pieces I painted the other week, I've done some detailing on a couple of small crypt style 28mm gothic buildings. 

The right one seems to be resistant to dry brushing - 2 or 3 goes at highlighting the edges and it still seems rather too subtle. But good enough for terrain!



And currently in progress are more 10mm for Irregular Wars - some ships crew and some more volunteers. 

Also got the first batch of volunteers, the German casualties and some Ashigarui teppo based up - photos to follow once the basing is finished.

I recognise those Pendraken fences the artillery is deployed behind Fred.

ITLSU does give a good WW 1 atmosphere doesn't it? Must get another game or two organised over here once we've finished our current ABDA naval campaign.   

Turned into a night action judging by the background?  

[fred.]

Indeed they are the Pendraken fences - really out to sort the bases out on them. If I'd thought I could have done them last night when I had the glue and sand out!!

Nearly all our games are 'night actions' - as Friday evening is our main gaming time slot

[paulr]

    for both

That right hand building is really resisting the dry brush 

And yes we should organise some ITLSU games

Good looking game there Forbes

Thanks both.

I'm going to be a bit cheeky and promote my wife's hobby that she is starting to move to a business]which can be found at http://www.Etsy.com/uk/shop/ISCHIOCrafts  where she has jewellery and decorations with sparkle and shine!

Work in Progress

First up are some ships crews for Irregular Wars



These are a mix of the new Pirates and a few Indian Mutiny codes (plus probably some others). At the front are a few WWII French HMGs

Awaiting Flock



Even more variety of troops awaiting flock

Posting a bit stalled - so here's a quick photo!



Various figures I've been working on over the last couple of weeks.

Oh no, one of the guys in the front middle is already a casualty! Looking good so far though

Man down! Fortunately just plonked in place so far.

Please to see yours Fred, a nice inspiration/reference.
