It's been a few months since I've had anything finished to show - I'm currently working on two infantry units, one Burgundian and one German. Neither are finished yet, but I thought I'd show some of the individual figures in their finished
And the next new unit is.... a small group of French crossbowmen.It's a mix of Perry plastics and metals (Italians with headswaps), plus a few Steel Fist torsos with plastic Perry arms.I only put three of them in the familiar red livery jac…
Today I finally put the finished terrain boards to use, and had a solo game. I was keen to test out some rather drastic changes I'd made to my own homebrew rules, which overall I hope will make games run quickly and be more intuitive to new…
The terrain board project is finished for now, though I will be returning to it in the future. I feel there isn't really a satisfactory way of photographing each individual board, so here's a shot of just one potential table set-up. I have
Here's a new unit of French archers. Like with the older ones, I've replaced the bow hands from the Perry Wars of the Roses set with those from their Agincourt range, as the bows from the latter have much better-looking dimensions. Most of
Here's two more units of missile troops, a mixture of handgunners and crossbowmen. These are mostly figures painted years ago, rebased for the second time, with some new additions from this year's Steel Fist Miniatures releases. I've been w…
A new small unit - some Burgundian handgunners. I put a few (less than half) of them in livery jackets, trying out a green and white scheme with red Burgundian cross - there will be another unit or two in this livery sometime in the future.…
I've been experimenting with my photography setup, using my new terrain boards and some backdrops I've painted. These are the first results, I'm quite excited with how they've turned out! The plan will be to get some photos like these from
Here's a wagon to join my baggage train of carts. Like the earlier two-horse artillery limber, this one is based on a piece from the Perry Miniatures American War of Independence range - as far as I am aware the wagon itself and horse harne…
Like my French archer units, these are mostly Perry WOTR plastics, but with the bow hands replaced by the superior ones from the Perry Hundred Years War range. Some of them have also had tall riding boots added with green stuff. There are a…
I finally finished the four river boards I've been working on for a while, to join the first one I did at the start of the year. I'd originally tried to write up a detailed run-down of the planning, construction, painting, problems encounte…
Ok, it's been a few months since the last post. I was too busy to get much done for most of March and April, but I've been getting back into it. It will still be a while before there's another completed unit, but I thought I'd share some of…
