I finished the remaining Sassanid units and a small display base for the upcoming Saga tournament. The extra units are mounted and dismounted Sughdians – the later completed last week but forgotten in the previous update.
The tournament display is pretty simple and only holds the specific units – and alternates – needed for the tournament. My list includes 1.5 points of Hearthguard (6 Cataphract), 1.5 points of Warriors (12 Horse Archers with Warbanner), 1 point of Levy (either 12 Archers or 12 Spearmen for missions where I have to hold ground), 1 point of Mercenaries (Deserters – using the unit of Sughdians on foot which includes a few archers to visualize the shooting ability of the Deserters), and 1 point of Elephant. The baggage and objective markers for the tournament are on the board as well.
I painted a cheerful Sassanid army for an upcoming Saga tournament. The figures are all from Aventine Miniatures with only the second elephant being converted to match the theme.
My (new) obsession with restoring old armies continues. This time I resurrected my old Warhammer army of Bretonnia. This was my first real Warhammer army and a frequent attendee of tournaments in the 90s. After re-basing, touching up damage, and fixing banners, I also painted about 30 more figures to complete units that teenage-me never got around to. I tried to match the old painting style. See if you can spot the substitutes!
Having finished the infantry for the Ordenstaat force a while ago, I am now added the knights. 10 Teutonic Knights, 6 from the Livonian Order, and various commanders.

Some old armies
A bit of photography work to finally bring some of my older armies onto this site, or update their photos in some cases. The Man-o-War fleets have all been re-shot and so have the 40k Blood Angels. The new addition are my old 40k Eldar which got funky new bases some years ago. Vehicles still need to be touched up and photographed then. Some samples below but click the links for the whole lot.
The next phase of the medieval adventure will be a force of Hussites. Below at the first few warriors of God.
July was medieval madness. I pushed through a host of figures to form a generic base for 13th century European armies (or Crusaders. Usable for Saga Age of Crusades or Baron’s Wars. They have their own page here now.
I finished my generic force of the Greek Cities in Saga Age of Alexander. They now have their own page here.
The final additions where a set of hoplites, peltasts and a warlord.

Prussian Video
As for the Anglo-Dutch, I made a video fly-over of the entire Prussian army. Give it a watch :)

Prussians are done!
I am reached the second major milestone in my Waterloo project: The Prussian Army of the Lower Rhine is complete!
The last unit to be painted was the 24. Infanterie Regiment. I also added a few more vignettes, allied observers, and Generalmajor von Mueffling meeting his counterpart of Wellington’s staff MG Sir Barnes. You can find a full breakdown of the Prussian army on their page.
