I started painting a Cossack task force for #byfireandsword and I am pretty happy with the first unit on a scenic base. #miniaturepainting
Also, feels important to mention these days that this indie film was made by humans.
3mm Italian Wars miniatures on a miniature landscape of Italy.
3mm Italian Wars project up to date - still to do: black bands, more landsknechts, more missile troops, Spanish Jinetes.
Another 3mm Saxon shieldwall done

For #ReliefWednesday, let's rest our eyeballs upon Cancelleria Relief A and drink in the gorgeous detail of pila, shields, paenulae, aprons, and caligae.
(Speed Painted) Otalian Wars, Stradiots
Took the opportunity to display my 2mm Goth forces for Strength and honour alongside my Goth (barbarian) army. I do love how these all came out in the end. #S&H #spreadthelard #wargaming #2mm #terrain
Added a Swiss Pike Keil to my 3mm Italian Wars - these are monumentally quick to do with the paint pens!
15mm painted Persian Immortals
More Immortals, this time Essex; now on to some of the smaller contingents of the Early Achaemenid #Wargaming army.
A bit of a long shot, this, but does anyone out there have up-to-date contact details for my former student Adrian (Ade) Smith, whom I taught at Birkbeck and later at York on the MA and an M.Phil.?
This week on the blog: Carthaginian Armies! We're going to discuss over the next few weeks the makeup of Carthaginian armies and how they were raised, beginning this week with the (quite limited) role of Carthaginian citizen soldiers.

Some pics from #Salute53 today. The Yarkshire Gamer’s huge Italian Wars game with over 1000 #28mm pikemen
Recorded the last piece of content for Tides of History today, an interview with the wonderful Craig Fehrman on his new book about Lewis and Clark (This Vast Enterprise, it's incredible). Such an odd feeling to be...done with it? Nine years flew by.
Not the first Trump-Julian comparison I've seen recently that completely misses historical reality.
1. Julian was continuing a protracted conflict undertaken by his dynasty (Constantine, Constantius II), especially in retaliation for the loss of Amida in 359.
Eastern Renaissance today; Polish v Swedes.

About 7 months ago I started painting up a large batch of 3d printed Seljuq horse archers that were replacing rather tired metal ones - 129 figures in total. I have been painting them in units interspersed with other painting and I have just finished off the last unit of them😁

As if the world wasn't a dark enough place, just received world Averil Cameron has passed away. She was a scholar of monumental stature in Late Antique and Byzantine Studies. Her work on Procopius made a tremendous impression when I was still an MA student. And that's just the tip of iceberg.
One year ago since @drchristinah.bsky.social dropped this epic takedown.
Grassland, on which a rectilinear structure and a wall/ditch are annotated. The structure is a fort and a small excavation trench crossing the wall is visible.
Seventh emperor of the Kitan-led Liao Dynasty, Xing Zong, was born #OnThisDay in AD 1016. The multi-ethnic Liao polity spanned parts of China, Russia and Mongolia, constructing wall systems to facilitate trade, tribute and diplomacy across the steppe.

7 Genestealers from the v3 Space Hulk game painted sort of in the style of the box art.

Something a bit different from my usual. Space Hulk genestealers. Rather enjoyed the change. About 2x as many still to do, and then the marines ...
Don't think my usual photo setting work on larger figs painted a bit differently from my usual historicals, but they'll have to do for now.

Society of Ancients battle day saw 12 refights of Cunaxa, with both Cyrus and Artaxerxes coming to sticky ends. #Wargamng

Another extra unit I found I had in the painting pile - this time Tang cavalry from Khurasan Miniatures. 15mm metal.

A few mounted sergeants and knights completed.
One thing I didn't put in here but is also at play: whatever markets predict, the opposite thing becomes more likely.
If markets think Trump will cave and accept humiliation, oil trends lower, making him less likely to do so.
If they think he'll fight, it goes up, making him more likely to cave.
6 bases of skirmishing Seljuq horse archers. 2 figures to each base. 2 figures have armour but the rest are unarmoured other than some wear helmets. Mixture of sword and bow armed.

Slow painting week but have completed another unit of Seljuq horse archers. 15/18mm figures 3d printed from Battlecat Miniatures files resized from 28mm originals. As ever, easy to paint up and I like how they come out.

15/18mm Sasanid infantry 3d prints from Resin Warfare files downsized rom 28mm. This is the 4th unit of the 3 I need ... typical wargamer approach 😂
Nice and easy to paint up, helped by keeping the paint scheme simple, and I am pleased with how they have come out.

6 bases of Seljuq Turkish horse archers. Half the bases have 3 figures whilst the other half have 2 figures. All are unarmoured. Most are using a bow but a few have sword in hand.

15/18mm Seljuq Turkish horse archers. 3d printed from Styriwars files downsized from 28mm original. These add to the 30 bases I already have and so should be plenty for most armies I am likely to use - but of course I have more left to paint as why stick to just what you need 😁

The current administration is really living up to its promise of bringing back Spartan military ethos by talking loudly and losing more than winning.
