More Figures!

Just to finish today's update

Here are two pictures of the HäT 28mm El Cid Archer I showed a while ago.

On the whole I am totally against violence against women, animals and so on, but this vignette is part of the Orion Pirates set and so I had to get it painted. Not my best piece but nice all the same:



And yet again a rear view:



See you! Sander

Colonial Machine Guns and Crew!

Hoi Everybody!

Below you will find some pictures I took today depicting the new HäT Colonial Range of Machine Guns and crew. This being:
Gatling gun
Nordenfeld gun

Royal Navy Landing Party:



Royal Artillery in Colonial Dress:



Gardner Gun with Navy Crew:



Gattling Gun, my top favourite!




There's yet another set with a mountain gun but I have not finished painting it yet and I have mixed the crew from all 3 sets so the above is not a decent representation of the box contents. See links for those.

Great Figures with lots of character!

Gaming Galore!

Hi Folks!

Well, one of my best gaming buddies came over here for some days of serious gaming madness and amongst the many games we played were some very close fought ones. Here are two pics to show us in action!

The picture above shows one of the many Great War Games we played. This ruleset by Warhammer Historical is pure fun! After 5 games (of which I won none and only managed to achieve one draw) I have found out that this game is one I love to play very much indeed. All this painting up armies for all theatres of the Great War now finally pays off!

Above you can see a picture of our Classic Battletech game! Also a very enjoyable game.

Cheers Sander

More Napoleonic Commission Shots!

Hello Peoples!

Today a short update of some more Italian Napoleonics I am painting as commission.
These figures resemble the Chasseurs of an Italian Light Regiment.

Sadly lack of time prevents me from painting more so this is all for now.

Napoleonic Commission!

Here's the second update for today. Remember the Italian Napoleonic commission figures I posted recently? Well they arrived at their owner's and he has sent me some pictures of the unit based for gaming and in a scenic backdrop. So I thought I'd share the pictures with you!

Ducosim February 2009

Hi Folks!

Two updates today! The first being about the Ducosim games-fair last February. Our Classic Battletech forum-club played two different battles there. First there was an "open participation game" and second we played a "grand finale game" for our Kessen Campaign. I played in the latter and our side won, but only just! We had to achieve several objectives within a time limit of 10 turns. As it happened in turn 8 my side stood on the winning side and as both my co-player had to leave for more pressing matters and the venue was about to close we were saved by the bell! Had we played the remaining 2 turns I do believe we would have come up with a loss or possibly a draw.
