Change of plan

The army lists have been changed for the May FoG competition and the Later Hungarians are not on them. : 0

So I've decided to go with Dominate Romans. I've always fancied a Roman army and the later Romans have such a variation in shield patterns so its an obvious choice. Plus the army is very tasty too. The figures from Legio Heroica arrive this morning and are splendid so watch this space.

Went to see Mr. B Sunday night at Metro Arena. Front row seats. What a fantastic performance generally played on Paul Kossof's old Les Paul. Always a great gig. Looking forwards to seeing him again.

10mm Fire and Fury

Starting 29th of March I'm putting on a 4 week ACW game,The Battle of  Chickamauga, at Durham Wargames Group.With over 300 bases of figures needed for the battle I need to paint up a few more bases plus to make the game more photogenic I've painted some disorder, low on ammunition and wrecked battery tokens.

Later Hungarian FoG army

My first challenge this spring is to paint an 800 point army for a Fog weekend at Durham Wargames Group, at the end of May. I have most of the figures on hand although some may not be 100% accurate it gives me an opportunity to paint some figures I've had for years. 10 weeks is not a bad time scale to finish the army but I do have 4 other projects on the go at the moment. So we'll just have to see how it goes.

Why not?

Now that I've rolled over the half century I thought I'd try something new. So inspired by other wargamers blogs I would like to share the many and varied projects that I and my cohort of friends have done and are working on.
