Another month with no post

No not health issues just lacklustre performance on my part but as no one reads these musings but me, honest I do, it doesn't really matter.

So what has happened since May, well not a lot. I finished enough of the Baccus ECW figures to try out the Montgomery scenario in the For King and Parliament rulebook. It went fairly well with a glorious victory for the King in no small part due to the rebel cavalry foragers not returning till the last possible moment.

I sent off the 10mm Fantasy figures and bridge to Joshua Project HQ and was pleasantly surprised to see the good old Royal Mail nail the delivery by beating the paid for 48 hours target.

To make a change from the ECW figures I started some Baccus late imperial Romans, cataphracts are a pain. I may do these under a 30 days 30 miniatures challenge, but upping the ante slightly by making it 30 days 30 bases. Obviously that will entail more than just the Romans, I also have some 10mm Arab light cavalry from Pendraken on the painting table two bases for To The Strongest and one for ADLG. Plus the newest project 1940 Chain of Command in 10mm using the Gembloux Gap pint sized campaign. Then back to the ECW. So could be a busy month at least work is still alternate weeks in and out.

10mm Fantasy for a good cause

So it's been absolutely ages since my last post, but this cause has revitalised my desire to paint so I thought I would put digit to mobile device and cover it in a blog post.

I picked up some orc spearmen and some orcs riding wolves at Warfare in Reading yesterday which I will be starting tomorrow.

The photos were done using my new folding photo booth and the camera on this device, they seem to have come out ok for a point and click shot.
