I started a project a couple of years ago. The plan was to paint some moderns for several planned ideas. I even backed a KS for Chinese PLA by Empress Miniatures. My collection contains PLA, US infantry, NATO special forces, […]

Right then, having avoided any sort of Spring cleaning challenge in the past, I have decided to use this year's one to get something done that I have been gathering bits for over the past few years and finally finish […]

This project is my way of trying to compile and complete my growing collection of models from Vietnams resistance war against America era miniatures, rather than having a box of dusty lead it will be rather cool to have a […]

Set in the 18th century Hudson Valley US, this project is part historical and horror. The terrain will be farmland, stone walls and buildings inspired by Dutch architecture of the time. The miniatures will be mostly Galloping Major and Wargames […]

Finally getting around to painting the opponents for my Japanese army. I have the WG plastics box an additional sprue from a Warlord sprue sale a while back, an Amtrac Buffalo amphibious transport and a MMG weapons team. Inspired by […]

The Kickstarter isn't even over but my mind has been getting super excited over it and wants to build a table ahead of time!

I have always like Vikings (and pirates) and since discovering games like Saga i found a reason to buy miniatures. The problem i have is: I have no one to play with/no one willing to buy and paint models. Fortunately […]

Set against a backdrop of a Civil War that lasted for two years, 1215-17, as a result of the issuing of Magna Carta. A civil war was the perfect opportunity for the leading nobles of the time to grab land […]

Painting up a small warband for Ravenfeast as part of the spring painting challenge being run by the Little Wars TV Patreon.

After a bit of browsing on ebay i spotted a brand new Waterloo - Black Powder 2nd edition Starter Set going for £30, is this the start of a slippery slope

First foray into Saga after all these years hearing the OnTabletop crew talk about it. Started with the rule book and fell in love. First up, Age of Hannibal, but I’ve got my eye on some Vikings too...

Words and stuff

Having an interest in naval warfare - especially during the Napoleonic Wars and in WW2 - it's time to start a historical project in earnest. Tanks and troops and artillery do not capture my imagination and interest too much, but […]

Inspired by it being mentioned every other sentence by Lloyd I decided to explore the world of Saga. Picked up a starter set from Gripping beast and away I went.

WW2 Aircraft, both Axis and Allies. Initially focusing on early war European theatre and the Battle of Britain...

This is my warband to represent the Republican Roman army during the Pyrrhic war for use in SAGA Age of Hannibal.

This project encompasses all of my forces for the Greeks or Ἕλληνες (Hellēnes) as they would call themselves.

So one of the games I've gotten into recently in a big way is saga. I started with my vikings after visiting the viking museum in Dublin. Here I will add photos of all my warbands plus how I painted […]

Time to paint up my Warlord Pak 40. The model doesn't quite fit on the large round base so I decided this would be a good opportunity to try my hand at a scenic base.

This project describes my efforts to build a 1620s Polish and Lithuanian Commonwealth army, including the famous Polish ‘Winged’ Hussars. I will cover the historical research, choosing the miniatures, build and painting the miniatures, and finally hopefully playing with the […]

Painting a Team Yankee British force from scratch, and playing in an Escalation League whilst building it up.

So I’m trying to finish at least one project during lockdown. I seem to have started a few. I have visited the WW1 battle sites a few years back and was looking through some of the photographs I took. And […]

My first attempt at painting a MDF building. What could possibly go wrong??!

The never ending stop go attempt to build a Clash of Spears army

Will try to keep regular updates on my German Heer Grenadiers (winter) army as I build and paint them. Miniatures from Warlord Games.

.

As voted by you guys I'll be tackling a 6mm Napoleonic project. I've already got some 28mm Peninsular War British v French so decided to go for my next favourite period. Let's dive into the 1800-1805 Period. From Marengo to […]

Little Lockdown project to help support my FLGS and to keep me sane

I recently picked up the big Stalingrad box set from Warlord Games for Bolt Action and due to lockdown and being in isolation I've decided to crack on and attempt to finish all the content... even the terrain! I will […]

Always wanted to build a late German winter bolt action army, the idea is to incorporate about 3000 points of German Heer units and Waffen ss to make a 1500 point force , which I can pick and choose from […]

In part inspired by #lockdownleisureleague, in part by the discussion on XLBS regarding time periods we want to play, this is my first foray into historical and in particular the North African WW2 campaign.

Painting up the occasional samurai and ashigaru models by Steel Fist Miniatures for skirmish games such as Test for Honour and Ronin.

A small report about the battle we conducted on the rules of "Black Powder".

In 1984-85 a 7 year old boy spent the day at his mother's work. In the nearby supermarket he was given his first set of 1/72 scale ESCI WW2 figures, that would bring enjoyment as toys. The collection grew with […]

What do you do when you have over a dozen active projects on the go? Start another one of course. With the publication of Too Fat Lardies Infamy Infamy rules it gave me a chance to return to Ancient Wargames […]

I started this project some time ago. It's a slow burner. But I've decided to turn it into a project so that I have a reference point but also to get some help along the way. This is my attempt […]

A reference guide for the Royal Marines though time. Focusing on uniform variations and equipment through their long history and miniature suggestions for those considering building a Marine detachment for various games at various moments in time. (This project is […]

This is my first dive into historical battles at sea in the era of World War 2. Warlord has made it extremely easy to buy into this with their new Victory at Sea Battle for the Pacific. This project will […]

This is going to be the ongoing adventures of my 28mm forces for Clash of Spears and the Age of Hannibal, building and painting to begin with but with battle reports down the line hopefully.

This was a project started during lockdown to build a Romano-British war band for Dux Britanniarum by Too Fat Lardies. It's stalled of late, so my hope is that by documenting progress on this project I'll be incentivised to finish […]

I jumped on the Black Seas game as I am little bit of a history buff. The Napoleonic era especially fascinates me. This is my progress on painting up the US Navy side of my collection.
