As predicted last month my painting has dropped off the deep
end. Having finished enough Brits for my
Flames of War army to be competitive and interesting I lost enthusiasm for
painting more, and various other calls upon my time meant my hopes of adding to
my English Civil War Royalists didn’t get beyond the modelling stage. I did get as far as Phalanx in St Helens for
the first time, taking the Bio-Titan along with me for his first taste of a
wargaming show. He lasted around 45
minutes, which was about as long as I expected, before getting bored and
wanting to go home. He left very pleased
with himself with a box of the Perry’s new Army of England (Agincourt and all
that) plastics, which we subsequently made a number of after we got home.
I personally picked up a box of Warlord Royalist horse to
add another regiment and some more dragoons to my army, as well as a Warlord Falconet,
some Assault Group musketeers to boost my dragoon numbers, another 4Ground
powder cart to increase my supply train, and a foam tray or two for my Brits to
live in. Finally I briefly met up with
Red who had picked up a mounted welsh warlord for my Saga troops for me at
Salute. In the days following this I
managed to make all of the above, and quite enjoyed doing so, but they have
remained plastic coloured.
Gaming:
In gaming news I’m running a Flames of War Operation Market
Garden campaign which started well with campaign turn one having a decent turn
out, more on that when I get time to write it up.
Purchased/Painted:
To break it down its 12 horsemen, 1 powder wagon, 4
musketeers and 1 warlord, so an additional 18 models to the unpainted horde.
Purchased/gained: 154
Refreshed: 10
Painted: 66
Plans for July – play football. ECW at Gauntlet. Flames of War Market Garden campaign round
2. And maybe undercoat some
Royalists. Maybe.
