I’ve finally managed to get some more Persians off the painting table, which is a relief. Together with my previous batch, these wee lads will provide me with a decent-sized contingent for use in smaller battles against my Greeks. I still have a long way to go before I’ve got a “complete” Persian army, but… Continue reading Project log: Really Small Persians, part II
As per usual these days, I’ve been fairly busy lately. But weirdly enough the odd project has still managed to sneak off the painting table – most recently a Frostgrave Warband. Now I’ve only played this game once, but I had so much fun that I just had to build me a dedicated bunch of… Continue reading Project Log: Frostgrave Necromancer Warband
As the domestic dust slowly settles after my second child’s arrival a couple of months ago, I’m finally getting into old habits when it comes to painting and modelling. A relief, no doubt – especially since I’m way behind schedule on some of my major projects. The most major of these undertakings is undeniably the… Continue reading Project log: Really small Persians
Since the latest recruit to my family ranks arrived, I’ve obviously been a bit occupied with non-hobby related things. But I’ve still managed to sneak in a bit of nerdiness here and there, in spite of an overall focus on combining full time work with diaper changing, sleepless nights and the general joy and exhaustion… Continue reading Project log: Really small civilians
I thought I’d just post a quick update to show off a new addition to my Polish army: a unit of Pancerni from The Assault Group‘s wonderful Polish Renaissance range. These soldiers, mainly used to soften up enemy ranks before the Winged Hussars‘ deadly charges, were often termed “Cossacks”, even though in reality they were… Continue reading Project log: 17th century Polish, part II
So I’ve finally finished my extra-tiny Greek forces… for now. With these latest additions, the ranks are sufficiently fleshed out to allow both for quite sizable Greeks vs Greeks battles during most of the Classical period, and for future major clashes with Persians or so-called Barbarians, for example. First off, I did some extra units of… Continue reading Project log: Really small Greeks, part III
I’ve been on the lookout for some nice 6mm buildings for my Greek project for some time now. There are several manufacturers to chose from, but in the end I bought three pieces from Total Battle Miniatures. These are actually not labeled as ancient, nor Greek – they’re part of TBM’s Spanish/Italian range. But since they’re… Continue reading Project log: Really small buildings
I’ve been rather hard at work with my 6mm Greeks project lately, since I’m eager to get these little guys on the table and play a game. What I really wanted to do was take a break from hoplites (and hoplite shields!) and concentrate on cavalry units, casualties and war machines, but since my latest Baccus… Continue reading Project log: Really small Greeks, part II
A while ago, I promised my mate Johan that I’d paint his War of the Ring models for him. I did this partly because I’m a philantropist at heart of course, but the main reason was actually egoistic in nature: I’d just really like to play this completely awesome game with painted models. As a Tolkien fan,… Continue reading Project log: War of the Ring
Like many wargamers, I enjoy the spectacle of mass battles between ranked units. However, it is rather difficult to achieve those epic scenes in 28mm, at least without certain compromises. The amount of models needed to really get the feel of a major battle often ends up conflicting with gameplay in regards to table space and maneuvre options,… Continue reading Project log: Really small Greeks
