ECW Challenge


Last night after the SEEMS AGM Alan confirmed that he is aiming to paint up a few ECW figures.

I have nearly agreed to aim to get 50 or so done by December with the intention of a game and as Alan is aiming for Royalist it leaves me the Parliamentarians.

My Parliamentarians will be red coats based on the NMA or possibly orange coats for the foot.

My initial target (in line with the lion rampant rules) will be:-

1st Unit Pike and command         12 figs
1st  Units Shot                              12 figs
2nd Units Shot                             12 figs
1st Unit Cavalry                             6 figs
2nd Units Cavalry                          6 figs

So 48 Figures target in 8 months – 6 figures/month. Should be achievable even if I get distracted.

And as extra
1st  Units skirmishers/dismounted dragoons        12 figs
1st Unit Mounted dragoons                                    6 figs
2nd Units Mounted dragoon                                   6 figs

Figures to be based on 2p washers.

Horse on 25mm x 50mm bases.


This weekend I will aim to base and undercoat and will aim to update the blog monthly as to my progress.

A review of my plan for 2020 and a update on the 2019 plan Painting wise a very tough year with the study going upstairs, coming down, and now being used as the TV room:- A very low number considering 2019's 170+ 2019 Darkest Africa 11 WW2 British 12 WW2 Japanese 1 WW2 Germans 1 Fantasy 11 Saxons 2 Terrain 13 51 I also started work on the third batch of Jungle terrain, rebased my Fantasy adventurers so all bases are consistent, block painted my Colonial Belgiums, and built the WW2 Japanese army and a squad of Germans. I did not manage to avoid any new projects. Adding the Japanese was somewhat a surprise but is jungle based so a lot of terrain is ready. 2020  Targets 1) Darkest Africa Belgium's for MWWBK and DITDK, mostly based coated. 2) Schedule some painting for my Fantasy stuff. I would like to do an old school army, either Undead (no Purchases needed) or Chaos beastmen. 3) Complete my Japanese and German C...

Zomtober Post 1

This is my first year of trying out for Zomtober and I am already late for the first post mainly due to being  out yesterday. The detail behind  zombtober can be found on  Pulpcitizen's post  HERE . (Also the source of the banner at the top.) but the  rules are simple. T o take part you just need to paint one Zombie or Survivor (or more!) each week, in any scale you like, posting it to your blog by the Sunday (we use Sunday's as the end of each Zomtober week). So that means one or more minis each week on or before the 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th of October 2015. My first subject is an old Citadel Zombie C18 Rustbone  square based although I am toying with  moving him to a circle base as most of my other  stuff is already on circles. That is why there is no flock. He is newly dead with a normal flesh tone and dripping blood, with a lot of his skin torn off free showing skeletal arms. Only took me...
