Arcane Legions

I have one other commission on the go at the moment, again for a PAW member. This is Arcane Legions. I have already painted the Chinese style and Roman style forcers and am now finishing off the EgyptoGreek style force.

My brief was to do a basic block painting style, cheap and cheerful to put some colour on the table and help tell the forces apart.

For the EyptoGreeks I have use a white and light blue theme.

Here are a few pictures of the 'living dead' units, remember basic painting on these.

Dystopian Wars

Blazing Sun Frigates

Here I have made a start on Al's (the Treasurer of Plymouth Association of Wargamers) Dystopian Wars Fleet.

At the very success PAW 2011 about 5 club members were swayed into buying this new game from Spartan Games by the clever boys at Games Vault. Between us we cover the four nations that make up the initial release. I have painted my Prussian Fleet Starter Set and very nice they are too, sorry no pictures as I am away overseas with work.

The model paint up very nicely and luckily suit my style of drybrush painting. There is plenty of detail and very little flash or mis-moulding to the resin.

Although it is hard to tell, the camera is not a very good one the hulls and superstructure are actually two different colours.

The bases are temporary painting bases.

Next up will be the Cruisers.

Dystopian Wars

I am currently painting Dystopian Wars ships for one of the club members, Al. He is having the Empire of the Blazing Sun.

I will post pictures soon.

I have just painted my Prussian Starter Box fleet, no pictures I'm afraid as they are at home.

More to follow.

15mm Macedonian

Just to prove how diverse and easily distracted I am when it comes to wargaming here are some of my ancient Macedonians, I have more at home that I will photo in due course.

Some Greek skirmishers.

These are Xyston figures, which are probably the best 15mm figures on the market. The sheilds have Little Big Man transfers, great things!!

WSS Imperial in 10mm

Here is another 'distraction', I like these 10mm figures from Pendaken. Initially I was going to build and army for Principles of War, 40mm x 20mm but not sure now as they also look good on Polomos bases 60mm x 30mm as an alternative to doing Polomos with 6mm.

I have seen this an another blog and it appeals but I would have to get the guys at the club to learn a new set of rules.............

Both set of rules offer a good method for linear warfare of the Lace War period, so we shall see?

My first attempt at painting 10mm and am quite happy with them. This unit is a 40 figure unit, it would be 30 figures in PoW and 14 in Polomos, but may be there would be two battalions?

My first cavalry man, not too bad may change the faces on all my figures from my 6mm experience.

Grande Armee of 1812 at Borodino

6mm Napolionics, this is the start of a long term project to build the Grande Armee at Borodino, 1812.

You have to start somewhere and here it is d'Alton's Brigade, Morand's 1st Division, the 13th Light Infantry Regiment.

These are Adler figures and are based for Polomos game system on 60mm x 30mm.

I do have another 3 base brigade painted but not finished and two bases of cavalry. I'll post once they are based.

It's been a long while since I last wrote but I have been busy painting........not all mine but painting none the less.
