Workbench update

Hi All.


So the basing department returns next weekend with three or so units finished and the weekend after we have our Bronze age game so I thought I might share a little update to see us through to the posts that these two events will create.


I have focused a lot on finishing off my Bronze Age figures for the York show but I have not entirely neglected the Great Northern War project.


Below are the latest unit over the line, Upplands Tremanning regiment. Mainly Ebor marching Swedes, I will do a proper write up when they are based.


 The Bronze Age has gone much quicker than initially I thought, mainly due to the restricted pallet I have used and how simple the figures are to paint. I wanted to finish off some units which I have already completed and shared on previous posts, then add some civilians and if I got chance my Warrior queen in her chariot.. Well most of the civilians aare above and the chariot is below.
 And the Warrior Queen and a naked dancing priestess are below. I just need to matt varnish the below, then cut away the base and pin her feet to the chariot and we are on to final basing. Woohoo.


I hope to have these finalized before next weekend and share a further post with you, I will also talk through my choice of figures etc at the same time.

And finally something neither Bronze or Great Northern War. After painting large volumes of camels for the Sudan both for my collection (Since become Dave's collection) and that of Wargaming chums Richard and Andy from Legendary Wargames ( http://legendarywargames.com/ ) Chris has started calling me the camel man. Although these are my first Bactrian Camels. Bit of a favour for Chum Chris Charlton, there you go Chris not forgotten.

That's it for now, hopefully a completed Bronze Age post to follow then some lovely GNW stuff.

Cheers for reading.

  2. Cheers Phil, the Swedes in grey add a slightly different dimension and Civilians on the table at York should add a little eye candy along with the farm and the beasts.

  5. I picked these up at last years York show Dino, 12 months agi in 2 weeks. Nick at Ebor is pretty disorganized, a shame as the figures are wonderful.

  6. Quite an eclectic mix there. All very nicely painted as one would expect. Are you going to have a "NSFW" style banner for the Bronze age game then?

    1. OK Paul, you have lost me, am I being thick? Are you going to York? Would be nice to catch up.

    2. "Not Safe For Work" with all those half naked women running around.

      Not sure about York yet - all those stairs is a little daunting at the moment.

    3. Aha! Now that makes sense. Get you with the stairs, I think there is a lift though Paul. Be nice to see you if you make it.
