Like a flying snow man

Doubt we'll be hearing about The Best Large Scale Game Award on the best Big Games podcast any time soon? Bravo!

15mm painted Persian Immortals

More Immortals, this time Essex; now on to some of the smaller contingents of the Early Achaemenid #Wargaming army.

Nice photo, love the backdrop and scenery!

Cheers indeed - looking forward to my retirement next year

Miniature figure painting, with light and whisky

A perfect way to end the day, switching off from work and painting for my #Wargaming

Still looking very tasty

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

Went to #ChillCon in Sheffield today and came away really appreciating what a great community #Wargaming is. Let's enjoy what we like and always welcome folk who enjoy other things. And yes, there is more than room enough for women in any form of gaming - or any other endeavour!

Persian Immortals in 15mm badly painted by an old man

After the Romans and a short break, Persian Immortals are mustering for my Achaemenid #Wargaming army. A mix of PSC plastics (here), Essex and Minifigs metals.

Painted 15mm Republican Romans

Varnished 15mm Republican Romans

Metallic paints done and based Republican Romans

... Tried varnishing THEN painting the metallics. Think it does work better for #Wargaming

Primed 15mm Republicans

Based for painting

Plumes painted

Flesh painted

Started painting more Romans with a cunning plan... #Wargaming

I'm a batch painter and have taken 2w to do a batch of 40 but I'm experimenting with smaller batches to give me fewer reasons to not sit down and paint.

WordPress might be worth a try

How long to crank them out? You always deliver good minis.

Wargame scenery houses, forts and a bridge and gully

New scenery for my #Wargaming, with a bias to Dark Ages

Spanish and Numidian light cavalry in 15mm

New Numidian and Spanish light cavalry for my mid Republican Romans #Wargaming

Mid Republican Roman legions in 15mm model form - work in progress

Sometimes when I'm focused on painting a unit I lose sight of the bigger picture. Mid Republicans still have a way to go but feels like I have enough for a decent #Wargaming battle now.

If you in the area on a Thu night then drop in, I'm sure they'll be delighted to see you! (although I'm new here so wouldn't know if you left under a cloud!)

15mm Romans of the mid Republic

The finished Blue Legion - probably SAD brought about by the clocks going back

15mm Romans without an extra paint step

15mm Romans with an extra paint step

So I got back from #Wargaming at Fiasco and set about finishing my latest Romans - but this time I took the plunge and added an extra painting step - which do you prefer?

Love the concept of leaving figures to mature before painting, makes perfect sense!

15mm Roman Republican command stands

New kids on the block - more leaders for the Blue legion, patiently awaiting their turn under the #Wargaming brush.

Roman leadership teams with unpainted legionaries behind

Some standards and musicians to make my Romans feel less leader less. #Wargaming

For some reason I saw this and thought of your esteemed publication's editor...

Badly painted 15mm ancients

Finished - time to practice DBA for #Wargaming club night

15mm painted miniatures

Thureophoroi pending shield designs and basing for my Republican Romans #Wargaming army.

Loved that game when it came out - some interesting ideas in it!

Love the casual Centurion in the background!
