The Tabletoppers

These are some Thureophoroi or Thorakitai I originally painted for my late republican roman army, but thanks to my basing I'll be able to use them for my upcomming Macedonian/Seleucid/Successor Armys as well. Decals are once again by Little Big Me´n Studios. I'll try to picturise all the miniatures I finished the last year but didn't put on the blog yet in the upcomming days.   PS: as I used them in various tournaments already, some of them lost their spear. Seems I'll have to start a repeairing action soon. :/

As the tournament in Hamburg is getting closer, I was still in need for some apropriate miniatures. Thats why I had to paint a unit of saracen archers, some light foot crossbowman and another unit of knights. Have a look yourselves:

After longer absence on this Blog - after getting a new computer it took some time remembering my login data - ther is some new stuff finished. In The Worlds 2016 touirnament in Charleroi, Belgium, I finished 10th of 30 competitiors playing a Wars of the Roses Yorkist army. Not only the belgian beer prooved to be quite effective, so did ,y unit of Liht Hores with Lances. To bad they were borrwed at that time. Luckily there were a lot of suppliers arround and one of thme hat some Corvus Belli miniatures to offer, which are sadly not produced anymore. I decided buying a untit of these Light Horse, and here they are: But not only these few miniatures got finished last week. As there is a tournament in Hamburg coming closer, some more miniatures have to be painted. As I still had some basecoated, but not jet started crossbows waiting for colour, I decided starting with these. I don't think they'll prove as a good option to take in your Field of Glory army, but everyone sho...

 After a long period of break, the Feudal French Project is now getting started again. I just finished up 4 bases Crossbowman and 8 Bases Saracen Archers, because I'm going to use the medieval Infantry and Knights for a Later Sicilian Army as well. Enjoi!

After long time of silence,it was possible to me to go onpainting my Macedonic army for DBA. Hope, you'll like 'em....

Yesterday worked out this great Macedonic Elephant produced by outpost wargames. Only the Mahouts' spaer and the base are not finished yet, but its right on the way to be done .

Today I was able to wash these Macedonic Pikesman produced by outpost wargames, so you can see the detail much better than on te pictures bevore. The gloss appeared because the wash had no time to dry when I took the picture. These 4 poses appear in the Mac2 Pack, which contains 8 miniatures.

Yesterday my Macedonian DBA army II/15 arrived. On the pictures you can see two of the Mac2 pacs produced by outpost wargames. The miniatures are highly detailed casted, but their pikes are looking like trunks carried arround. You'll see further more pictures if they are washed, so you can see the detail much better.

Hi folk, as I saw this little nice miniature colosseum at a souvenir shop in Rome for just 1€ I bought it instanly. I painted up the guys in the front- they are cruel sculpted but almost excactly in 15mm scale. More photos forthcoming with my new err Western Late Roman Army...

Today I finsihed my frirst Visigothic Battlegropu for he DBA army II/82a, and another one is goging to follow soon. I know, these warriors look verry disciplined, but this was unavoidable, because I have to use them as Spearmen for the later Visigothic army II/82b. I hope you'll like 'em. The bowman are ready for battle...

I have got not time, so I can't write anything....

After all, my first Norman BG was finished today. I painted some durt on the shioelds, so they look even used. Hope you'll like 'em.

"Aaaargh!!!! Let's slaughter them! " That might be what these frightning guys would propaply cryied bevore they went into battle. I hope that these guys will do so at the DBA field soon....

After some weeks of silence -was lange wärt wird endlich gut- my DBA Suebians are finished. I based them after my very errrr.. hard birthday LAN to find back in 'real live' and now, while the sun is shining outside and 21°, I've a cold.... I hope I'm able to play with them against one of the others soon...

After all, both Nomannic Spearman Bases are nearely ready. Only the Bases have to get finished. Those are going to be the cadre for my Normannic DBA Army - and if I can get some Money, I'll buy the needet Knights soon. So Stay Tuned!

Now one road for 15mm minis.

Yesterday I made my first DBA table: The premissions was to make a simple, open for all terrain, and fine looking as well as handy one. Firstly I cut my plywood in the mid in two halfes each 60*60 cm or 24*24 inches. Next I cutted my grasmat to 63*63 and put the wood in the middle. Then I stapled the mat on the back and clued the edges so the edges can not shear. I'm happy with it and only have to build some hills and woods.

After long waiting time,cause I painted hardly the last weeks, I was able to finish 2 more DBA bases. Unfortunately I was too addle to style the last base. I hope you'll like these Babarians, and mainly the fat general: me ! ;)

Hey there! My British DBA army is slowly growing! The next base is finished for battle, and I hope you like them! Unhappily the base is not finished yet. It would be nice if you could give me some feedback.

And here it is: the next step of my wargames table for DBA! I started brushing some green and brown arround the grass spots, to include them into the table. Hope you'll like it !
