Captain's Blog

There is one thing worse than painting miniatures, and that is to have unpainted miniatures. Captain's Blog will provide an audience, or in other words motivation, to stimulate my war game miniature painting productivity. In Halifax, we had a great group of gamers and we were constantly in competition with each other. I do not have the same community support in Montreal. I hope that by blogging regularly that I will force myself to paint more. Are you up to the challenge? Pick up a brush.

WIP - Numidian Field Force - New Directions

I originally was working on my Numidian field force to form an Art de la Guerre army. However the local club is strongly committed to Saga and skirmish gaming. Plans are afoot to hold a gaming day devoted to the Clash of Spear rules early next month.

Elephants to spare.

My elephants are individually mounted. My infantry is incomplete but I foresee no problems getting some figures ready. That leaves me to rebase my cavalry figures. I soaked the elements these figures were based on last night and I just removed them and glued them to the new standard. 50mm oval MDF bases from Pandraken Miniatures.
