Dacians & Germanians

Hello and welcome back! Today I have painted some more troops, Coming from the Warlord SPQR line! And let me tell you, I have my gripes! These are made of resin, making the super fiddly to deal with. First off the Germanian warriors: These come with metal spears, and I find that super gluing metalContinue reading “Dacians & Germanians”

Auxilia solari… wait wrong game

Back again with more troops for the Greeks, this time some auxilia. I managed to snag a box of Victrix Peltast and slingers. Contains 56 (!) miniatures, 8 which are earmarked for the role of slingers, and the rest earmarked to make lighter javelin men or heavier Peltasts. Being Victrix sculpts, they are a littleContinue reading “Auxilia solari… wait wrong game”

Keeping up with the Gauls

Hello and happy new year! It’s been a bit slow over here on the hobbying side, but time for an update.

I really liked the sculpts, unfortunately with resinContinue reading “Keeping up with the Gauls”

Banditry!

Hello good folk! I’m back with new hobby related things again! This time around, we will revisit feudal Japan in Test of Honour, with some rather nefarious characters I might add! Just one point to add, to use these with the ‘right’ cards, you need to purchase the enemy forces card expansion separately, as thisContinue reading “Banditry!”

This box come packed with bodies to make: The models are Metal, so not much that can be made in terms of equipment or poses. These sculpts are fantastic!

The Temple Monks

Hey all and welcome back! As I promised, I have expanded on the forces for Test of Honour. This time I have painted the Warlord of Ehrewon box of Sohei Warrior with Naginatas. Interestingly I don’t seem to find them anymore on Warlords homepages, I really hope that they haven’t discontinued the models, as theseContinue reading “The Temple Monks”

Expanding the basic forces

Hey all! Been working on expanding my basic forces, as I feel that I needed some more basic ashigaru troops. This also helps me get through some of the sprues I still have laying around from my first purchase. I really gotta say that Warlords samurai army really is a great bang for your buckContinue reading “Expanding the basic forces”
