Phew, its been a while!
Alongside moving house and just generally some painting fatigue, I have been slowly painting various pieces here and there.
Once I'm settled, I do hope to finally get some games back in towards the later half of the year.
Anyway, what I've been up too as follows:
8th Alabama who historically were recorded as being very well turned out in all shades of various shades of Grey. These have become a favorite of mine for my Confederate regiments. In addition another Cannon for the highly unlikely event two will ever get fielded in a game of Sharp Practice, still always fun and easy to paint.
Next up some images of my finished Battletech projects. First up is my 5th McCarron's Armored Cavalry. These were very fun to paint and I tried something different for the cockpits, which turned out well.
Then onto my 2nd St. Ives Lancers, really love the Sea-Green of this scheme. Some in action shots also from a game.
In addition I was able to attend Tewkesbury Medieval Festival for the first time this year. Yet again another period I didn't think would ever catch my attention has now got me absorbed. The Wars of the Roses was always a period I have heard is popular, but it seemed rather daunting to get into due to the complicated history. Like any period it just takes some time and reading to start understanding and then the appeal sort of clicks. Needless to say to I am going to be starting some Wars of the Roses, 28mm was my initial thoughts for Lion Rampant. Only problem is I do rather want to play larger action battles, and I think its time to try out a smaller scale. I always loved the idea of 15/6mm and did paint a few stands a long time ago as a tester. I'd love to be able to recreate some of the classic battles of the period without taking months/years to paint both sides.
Anyway some pictures from the festival:
