I've been taking advantage of the lovely sunshine in the North East of England and getting lots of stuff completed. In this heat I can get the bases all completed with the quick drying times compared to the normal 24-48 hours it usually takes.
First up is some extra Native Americans, the 3 bases of cavalry and the casualty figures that I was waiting on the bases for. The riders are a mix of Tabletop, Friekorps and Peter Pig. The casualty figures are all from Peter Pig.
The other figures I completed for the Pony wars were two more companies of US infantry from the 9th regiment, 'G' and 'H' companies. These are all from Friekorps.
In a bit of a change I bought myself a single sprue of the Town Watch for Guards of Traitors Toll. They are lovely figures from Wargames Atlantic. Neil G and Thom from the Club are putting a display game for Border Reiver, so I thought I better learn the rules and what better way than using your own figures. I went for a simple sky blue/white for their tabards.
For the bases I used some air drying clay as I want to represent cobblestones that would match Thom's gaming mat. I'm quite happy with how the bases turned out for the first attempt Now back to getting some US cavalry finished over the weekend.
Loving the town guard been toying idea getting these see yours I think I may have to... Great job.
ReplyDeleteCheers Brett, the guard are lovely figures
DeleteYou are not alone in taking advantage of the weather to paint. Our air is choked with wild fire smoke so I mostly stay indoors.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't like to be in an area close to wildfire
DeleteGreat additions Scotty and I too like the look of the WA figures - I have yet to purchase any as they appear pricey compared with comparable ranges.....
ReplyDeleteCheers Keith, I just picked up a single sprue from EBay
DeleteNice work Neil, the Pony Wars project is really taking shape and must admit those WA figures look very nice, good job on them.
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie
DeleteGreat work! Love the Town Watch patrol!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal they were a nice diversion and easy to paint up
DeleteNeil, I think you have the ideal weather at present. In the Midlands it's just that little bit too hot. Great for priming, basing and varnishing, less so for painting as it dries on the brush! I've resorted to my home made wet palette!
ReplyDeleteNeil
It was the perfect conditions, think we were a couple of degrees cooler than the Midlands
