Impetus Battle Report

Played a game of Impetus with my brother over the weekend. 300 point Hun vs Late Romans. It was one of those games where everything seemed to be going right till the last round when it all fall apart and i lost the game. On top of that the light was not very good so i did'nt manage to get many photos.

Strong roman battle line in the centre.

Franks advancing on the flank, shame they could'nt even manage to defeat a unit of light infantry.

Hun cavalry working the other flank.

The victorious Roman cavalry that did all the damage. In two turns managed to defeat my Hun CM and burst through and mop up two more damaged units i had retired to the rear. Normally these are a difficult unit to use right but this game my brother held them back till the very end then released them to attack my already damaged units.

As well as gaming i have finished a painting commission of some ancient Persian cavalry. Pretty flashy chaps with lots of bright colours and patterns.

SAGA beginings

Me and my brother have just decided to start playing SAGA. I know we are pretty late to the party but its better late than never. My brother is still deciding which faction to start but for me the decision was easy, its got to be the Vikings.

Here is my first finished point of Hearthguard.

From left to right we have a Warlord special, couple of Foundry and the lovely Lathgertha is from the Dice Bag Lady. Shield transfers from LBMS.

More WW2

Finished a couple more WW2 projects. First up is a 15mm FOW US airborne platoon. The figures were left over from another project and sat in the lead pile, so they needed to be painted and moved on.

Also finished up some WW2 British from Black Tree Designs. Not always 100% sure of some of their sculpts but this are great to paint up.

Forgeworld Mortarion

Been busy recently painting up Mortarion from Forgeworld. Bit of a change for me as i don't play 40K, but i do like some of the models. The detail on the model was amazing and great to paint, i particularly like the idea of a display base and a gaming base on these centrepiece models, think it shows them off well.

Tried out using some weathering powders on the armor and base to age it, think it turned out rather well.

Norman Spearmen

Some Norman spearmen painted up for SAGA.

The Blackadder Commission

Just finished a Blackadder themed commission. One of the things i like about painting minis for other people is that sometimes you end up painting minis you would have never bought for yourself. These were a blast to paint.

First up is Blackadder and friends from The Assault Group.

Next is some WWI characters from Scarab Miniatures.

Early Saxon Warlord

Just finished the early Saxon Warlord and Standard Bearer from Musketeer Miniatures, although i think they are now Footsore Miniatures. Beautiful sculpts either way.

The flag is printed and then painted over. I have it blowing in the wind towards the front of the base to line up with all the sculpting  and hair on the models. I usually always seem to have my flags flying backwards, which i think most gamers do.

The grass tufts are the first homegrown ones using my new flock box.
