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.

2019 Final Score and 2020 Targets

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...

Warhammer Fantasy Battle

So having now painted a fair number of fantasy figures there is a need to start to work out how they could be used. Mordheim initially springs to mind with a solid background and some nice terrain already build. My original plan was to use the figures as part of a D&D game but this still looks a long way off. With my thoughts returning to old school gaming I have been toying with gladiatorial battles perhaps using the fantasy trip or one of the early old school games. This has now come around to possibly using 3 rd (or 2 nd ) edition warhammer fantasy battle.  These early rule sets certainly cover most of the creatures that I was thinking of using and of course I already own the rules. For 3 rd edition I have the rulebook, siege, army lists and slaves to darkness. So plenty to be getting on with. I also have the box and booklet for Terror of the Lichemaster but the cardboard figures and most of the buildings are long gone. However I do really like the later editions of WHF...
