A bit of a mix bag on the painting front, I find I'm just painting whatever I fancy. First up is some more Dwarves from Oathmark. A few extra warriors and a number of character figures from the Oathmark metal range.
The other figures I painted were 6 medium Italian infantry for the Punic wars. These are the second base I needed to complete a unit for Midgard. The figures are all from Essex miniatures.
These last figures were inspired by a recent game of Midgard at the club, where the Romans commanded by myself and Sean were given a rather bloody nose by the Carthaginians commanded by Robbo and Mitch. The Carthaginians had to hold a hill and received an extra reputation point each turn they held it. Even though our heavy infantry managed to get up the hill and begin forcing the Carthaginians back, our right flank was turned by Carthaginian and Numidian cavalry. A pretty historic outcome. I only managed a few photos as we were concentrating on just getting the rules right.
We have a re-match next week and hopefully a bit of revenge is due. I am also busy planning a follow up to our Franco Prussian campaign. This time the plan is for 3 smaller 1 vs 1 game, that will then determine the set up for a large battle with up to seven players. So far each player has been assigned their troops, made up nominally of at least 1 Corps and some support units, hence each force is not equal and the 1 vs 1 battles will not be balanced. Wish me luck on planning this.
Painting what you fancy is a good way to get the mojo going Scotty and seems to work well for Michal! Nice looking figures in your game too, good luck with the rematch. The FPW campaign sounds like it will be fun and something a bit different.
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith, I'm looking forward to the FPW games
