The kids have been learning
about the Great War this week and a number of movies and documentaries have
been watched and I’ve tried to sneak in a game or two.
On Friday we watched Blue Max. I still love that movie - incredible stuff - all pre-CGI.
The Boy took a Fokker DR.1 and
The Girl the Albatros D.VA. I took the Sopwith Camel and a SPAD.
MRRRRRrrrooooowwwwww-dakka-dakka-dakka-dakka! That’s my
Camel finishing off The Boy’s Fokker.
(Yes, sound effects were
required. I’m pretty sure it’s somewhere in the rules!)
Here are a few other items I’ve
been working away at over the last week or so, concurrent with the Mike
Bravo Miniatures
Casualty marker for my Medieval
Muslims from Perry
Miniatures
Another OLD Citadel Miniature
recently stripped and repainted. I think the figure was actually an assassin
figure for Talisman, but I’m planning to use it as a Thief or Treasure Hunter
for my Gold
Wizards (since I recently did a Treasure
Hunter for the Jade
Wizards
Since I’ve put together a Summoner warband, I thought I
should have some more figures I could use as Imps. So I dug out these
“Bushwoolies” from Thunderbolt Mountain.
I don’t recall actually ordering these… I think they may have been sent along
as free samples when I ordered some other things from them…?
Three dwarves to finish up a
unit of Elite Foot for Dragon
Rampant. The one in the middle is from Reaper
Miniatures and the two flanking him are from Games
Workshop.
Here’s the whole unit. The
leader is so badass – he’s worth TWO of the six Strength Points!
Now to get the rest of the
Dwarves finished!
(Actually I have my Dwarf DBA
army that could easily be pressed into service for Dragon Rampant… but I also happen
to have enough individually based Dwarves to field a Dragon
Rampant warband! They just need some painting... well some of them…
about half).
This is Suliman Le Saracen an old
warhammer figure from Games Workshop I
picked up in trade from my pal Cory when he was here for the Wargaming
Birthday Bash/Winter Wargame Campaign Weekend. I had hoped that I
might be able to slip him into one of my Lion
Rampant units of Medieval
Muslim Cavalry…
But as he towers over the others
I think he’ll have to be some sort of Heroic Prince in Dragon
Rampant and be fielded as a Single Model Unit of Elite Cavalry!
These are some Highlanders for
the Indian Mutiny from AW
Miniatures. Terry had a sample pack of them and gifted them to me for
my birthday and I painted them up because… well… um… No, I don’t have enough
for a full unit… er… No, I don’t have any other British troops from the era… I
don’t even have anything I could pass off as mutinous Indians to have these
guys fight a last stand defensive sort of game against… Really I’m not sure why
I did these… It just seemed like a good idea at the time.
I’m pretty happy with how their kilts turned out.
Finally some crusader Religious rabble. A couple of these
guys are partial repaints… I can’t remember which now… I thin they’re all from Old Glory…?
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
I have no idea. I feel like I’m all over the place. I feel
more like cleaning and organizing the basement before doing any more gaming or
painitng…
We shall see…
