WAB 2.0

Well I have been looking over the new rules, there is loads of eye candy and a few bits by one of my friends from the Wamp-forum. Not only do they look good but I think Martin has done a grand job updating them too. I am kicking myself for selling off my 4000pts Indain army now as I have to get an army painted up before Dad and I can get a few games under the belt. I painted 80% of a Gripping beasts Carthaginian army last month and Dad has bought over 160 Celts to go with the 80 already painted so we can field a Gallic army, on top of this I have 160 of the Immortal miniatures Greek hoplites to paint which I can use as allies or a stand alone army (you have to love the classic period where everyone fought with and against everyone else).

All this means that I shall be posting more pictures and less words soon, the Celts will be done with Army Painter so will be a quicker job whereas the Hoplites will be a more classic Foundry style.

If this was not enough I am planing to paint a few figures to enter in the Sheffield irregulars IMP comp on 31st July, plan is a single Roman general a unit of Zulu Brits and a FOW German AA vehicle. Watch this space

I went to Figureworld on Saturday, it was a first time figure painting show with some truly wonderful figures to look at. I took along a few of my pieces and the above diorama was photographed.It is of 4 PMC troopers in Iraq the figures are 1/35th plastic minis. As the pictures are far better than anything I have taken I wanted to share them.
I spent a little money at the show buying a great spartan bust and a small dwarf king bust. On the painting front I am almost done with the ECW cav and have started on my greek hoplites. I will try to get some pictures to put in the next post but for now I'm off.

Large Scale Models

Below are a couple of the larger scale figures I have on the go at the moment. The colonial guy is 54mm and 90% complete and the figure with just the flesh is my 120mm SAS trooper. Both of these figures are being painted with oil paints.

The 54mm guys pictures show more of the details of the base as I completed this base also as part of a challenge on www.wamp-forum.com .
