28mm Warlord Legionnaires

Here we have a box of 30 Early Imperial Roman legion by Warlord. The figures are good, the shield transfers look nice but were a complete pain in the butt - they don't adhere well to the curved surface. I tried all the tricks - pva, gloss undercoat, Future, vinegar to help soften. Any hints? I can't seem to find and microset or microsol anywhere local, but maybe that is what I need.

Memoir '44 Juno Beach

Here is the set-up for tomorrow night's club game - the Juno Beach scenario from Memoir '44 using microarmour. Elements of the 79th Armoured (Sherman crabs, AVREs, Centaurs) make an important appearance.

Tyrion and 10mm Soviet armor

A few bits and pieces this week - a large batch of 10mm Minifigs early Soviet tanks that I picked up on Bartertown very cheap - love these guys, would like to run a Barbarossa scenario. Lots of multi-turret jobs:

 And a Warhammer High Elf metal model of Tyrion - got this in another Btown lot, stripped it and repainted. Love the earlier GW stuff...

Warring States Qin DBA army

I took a diversion and painted a 15mm Warring States Chinese army (II/4a) Museum Miniatures. They still await banners from LBM studios but look like fun to play - heavy chariots, warband, bit of mounted and some crossbows. Pretty formidable methinks...

Crusaders and camps

I painted a bag of 25mm Old Glory knights in Hospitaller outfits to make a start on a Crusader project that will likely simmer for the next year or so. Solid usable figures, I know the helmets are not exactly right for Hospitallers but I reckon there was a lot more variety (family heirlooms, etc) than we see in the few depictions.

And I also painted two 15mm DBA camps with large numbers of harlots, Old Glory again.

Warlord Sarmatians

Very dynamic poses, but a bit of a bear to clean up - a lot of flash and vent marks. But I think they look good when done. I did the springtime in Edmonton theme on the bases - lots of melting snow still around!

These are some of the last remaining bits for my MayDay game. The general is on a round base.

28mm Sassanids by A&A

First regiment is complete now that I have LBM shield transfers and a banner. 5 more to go!
