Start of a new project

Say hello to the first of the Carolingan host. These will from two bases of ADLG cavalry or one base of heavy cavalry for To the Strongest. Oh and the forged in battle Kickstarter stretch goal Charlemagne on the extreme left.

Corona miniaturia or will this virus increase painting productivity

Ok so it's been too long since the last post. In which time the world has gone into isolation luckily I managed to make it to the Hammerhead show. Staying at the excellent Lions B&B in Newark and having a nice pint and very good dinner in the Prince Rupert, I even found some loo roll in Morrison's. This enabled me to pick up some supplies and more figures for the months ahead.

Unfortunately the mad tin hatter couldn't make the show so I was unable to pass on my contribution to the for Joshua Project. I'm hoping. The postal system keeps going for a while so I can get these delivered. I can combine this with my one period of daily exercises as its a three mile roundtrip of a gentle walk to the post office.

I have also been able to complete a few extra pieces, 25 orc archers from Pendraken and a damaged bridge from Battlescale wargame buildings.

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.

Salute goodies

So not a great haul, partly because I didn't check with Baccus that now Hammerhead had been rescheduled they would still bring the order I'd made for collection at that show to salute. All my fault but Peter is going to send the order out post free as I can't make the new Hammerhead date as already committed to going to a games day in Bristol.

So we have

• two saga books the latest source book age of crusades and the smaller update of the Arthurian book to bring it fully into sync with saga 2.
• the tiger supplement to bring that game in line with Sherman
• empires and alliances
• 1914 from great escape games
• some fields from Baccus in various sizes
• mdf bases for For King and Parliament, including some for commanders etc
• paint restock
• some early war tanks to try out for What a Tanker rules
• T-shirt.

Assuming I can access the photos from my phone I will post some pics of the games at this year's event. You never know this might kick start the blog and my painting and next year I might join the bloggers meet at Salute.
