Many years ago, I received a small bag of Tau figures from a neighbour’s kid who had briefly dabbled in the hobby. The figures were in rough shape – glue blobs and thick enamel paint – so I put them in a box for a long slumber. Nearly two decades later, I found them during clean-up and thought I would do a quick side project in a Grimdark style which might hide some of the blemishes. This small group could represent a Tau expedition entering Necromunda.
Last weekend I had the privilege of participating in a local SAGA tournament and won a box of Gripping Beast plastic figures. Add a bit of paint, and here we have a small Roman warband for the Age of Invasions.
I have kicked off my the second phase for my 28mm Napoleonic Waterloo project: the Prussians! Oberst von Crailsheim commands the 15. Infanterie Regiment with two battalions of musketeers, one of fusiliers, and the regimental skirmishers. I will set up a page for the Prussians once I have a few more painted. All in, this will be around 2,400 figures which should keep me entertained for a year or two. Off we go!
As a small side project, I finished my EPIC 40k Knights. These are ancient models from the early 1990 so I used the paint style and decals of that era. The photos makes them come out very flat – they are multi-layer highlighted… – though there is only so much you can do with old sculpts. These were the very last figures for my EPIC 40k collection which, at 2,378 painted figures, is now fully completed! Yay!
A small palate cleanser after all those Napoleonic models. They are 3D printed proxies for the Ironhead Prospector gang in Necromunda.
As my first foray on Youtube, I have shot a simple video covering the Anglo-Dutch army at Waterloo and some thoughts on the composition of the collection. Enjoy: https://youtu.be/rLqA9p1d3dw
My long journey to complete the Anglo-Dutch at Waterloo in 28mm is completed! Hurrah. Photos of the full collection can be found here. Right on time for the 109th anniversary of the battle!
Below are the status of this project – my largest to date – for your amusement:
I will now take a break with some other projects while I prepare the Prussians!
I am migrating my historical collection to a second display room and taking new photos at the same time. Updated photos are now available for the Flames of War German, American and British Para armies. Enjoy.
The last year and a half was mostly focused on my almost-finished Anglo-Dutch army at Waterloo, but I did manage to squeeze in a few small side projects. One of those is a Bretonnian Knights warband for Mordheim. These are 3D printed based on STL files from Highland Miniatures “Gallia” range (at 85% size to fit into the old Mordheim scale).
A Questing Knight, two Knights Errants, three Squires, and some peasants with bows and halberds.
Wrapping up my long-overdue EPIC Titan force, these are two maniples of Legio Tempestus with magnetized weapons.
