Text of the page (random words):
watching paint dry friday 4 march 2016 latest cold war progress since the autumn i ve pretty much been concentrating on the cold war the uk screening of deutschland 83 helped maintain this into the new year and so far i m still in the zone with it i ve been working on both sides simultaneously for the baor i ve been working on a battlegroup command base for higher level games the figures are from the ever dependable hand of matt at elhiem with some subtle tweeking by yours truly since my fictional cold war is viewed by the rose tinted goggles of the arrse forum the base consists of the co in obligatory barbour jacket no one tells the co he s improperly dressed though the rsm may gently hint at it he s acompanied by the ops officer no idea if this is the correct 1980s terminology but he s represented here in all his silvermans trolley dash glory sas smock tropical comabat trousers and dilac hat well ally also present is the adjutant wielding a map and compass the most terrifying sight in nato an officer from the rac element of the battlegroup and the rsm pointing out to the ruperts that ivan is in fact that way oh yes and pvt macauslan is on jankers again for pissing in the stew the plan is to have them clustered around a table strewn with maps thermos flasks and fags left to right ops officer rac officer co adjutant rsm on the other side of the igb i finally managed to get the four remaining figures in the first russian platoon finished i never intended to do two platoons but elhiem released a flurry of new soviet riflemen poses and i simply must posess all the pretty things hope to get the baor base finished for the end of the month cheers iain posted by iain at 08 21 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 20mm baor british cold war command elhiem infantry motor rifles soviet sunray thursday 3 march 2016 playing catch up more napoleonics over the summer i ended up in something of a napoleonics kick following the bbc adaptation of johnathan strange and mr norrell this saw me achieve the unprecedented completion of a whole two figures which is really going some for me with napoleonics i was really quite pleased with how they came out and even ended up getting some opposition for them to face in games of sharpe practice steady now let s not get carried away but these haven t progressed beyond the glueing stage so without further ado the latest members of iain s 28mm rendering of hm s 44th foot first up was another private i was keen to portray an on campaign look for these guys so wanted a nice faded hue for this soldier s jacket i think it turned out quite well follow me lads for i cannot die the sergeant for a bit of a change i decided to do the sergeant with his 9ft pike next bags of swank in this figure you can just feel the confidence sign up lads sign up you ll get a shilling a day and a spanking red coat the girls ll love it as you ve doubtless realised this burst of 19th century productivity didn t last long and thereafter slid into the painting of mediaevals as yer do howver it was a fun interlude and one i hope to revisit some time cheers iain posted by iain at 13

starlight baor medical elements finally got the medical elements for my baor force finished ready for the deadline of the guild s ambulance group build both are old jb models pieces with the saracen being converted from the apc version i m quite pleased with how these have come out though i am now more convinced than ever that decals are the work of the devil i should be getting on with s s models lovely re mastered cet but after last weeks lion rampant game snaps of which can be seen here i can feel myself getting drawn back towards mediaevals again cheers iain posted by iain at 11 54 4

tuesday 22 september 2015 lion rampant the otterburn campaign in 28mm the greater part of the start of the year was taken up by the painting of my claymore castings mediaevals for the otterburn war period spurred on largely by my belated purchase of the lion rampant rules after avidly awaiting them for about a year and then getting sidetracked by the cold war at the time of release i d been making slow progress with these over the previous few years mainly as i wasn t quite sure what rules i d be using them for so they were just getting painted pretty much cos they looked pretty however with the incentive of a fun looking skirmish level ruleset now in my possession and the sound of the corries ringing in my ears it was time to get cracking here are the results so far sir john montgomery s schiltrom this is composed of the bulk of the figures i already had painted with the addition of some newbies sir john edmonstone and sir david graham are making up numbers in the front rank they will be replaced by more spearmen in due course and go on to form the nucleus of a second unit of men at arms sir john montgomery was a natural starting point for my force i live a short walk from his castle or at least what s left of it and i m a sucker for a local link sir john de haga s schiltrom mainly comprising the later figures the saltire is borne by sir robert hert of lanark in conjectural arms given his adherence to the douglases i plumped for the heraldry i found to be most likely related to his given its similarity to the layout of the douglas arms he is named in some sources as carrying douglas banner along with one of the colvilles named in other sources so i decided to use both and have colville carrying douglas own banner with hert bearing the saltire and of course douglas of cavers carrying the cavers ensign banners are all by flags of war who have well and truly converted me to pre printed paper banners knights of high renown these chaps will form a six man unit of men at arms sir george dunbar earl of march he ll be leading the pack sir george dunbar the younger son of the above carrying his father s banner his arms are conjectural based on best guess of his father s arms differenced with a label azure sir william dalziel of lanarkshire picked largely because i was looking for a knight with heraldry that would be unlikely to have been done by anyone else and i thought i d make a better job of it than i did and i currently work in motherwell and as i say i m a sucker for a local link god how i regret that now explanation of the proto billy connolly on his shield here peasants foundry sculpts picked up at albanich years ago as they seemed the closest in terms of scale and sculpting style to the claymore offerings two down dozens to go they will inhabit a village composed largely of pre cut mdf buildings progress ground to a halt at the end of the spring as i came over all peninsular for some reason probably largely related to the screening of the bbc adaptation of jonathon strange and mr norrell but that s another story cheers iain posted by iain at 14 53 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
