TFL Infamy, Infamy WIP

 I picked up the Infamy Infamy rules by Two Fat Lardies a while ago. Last year I purchased some Gauls that were already pre-based from the Facebook Marketplace.. After playing some other game sets by TFL I thought I came up with a solution that won't require my rebasing the troops. The figures were based 6 figures to an element. I got a buddy to print up some movement trays for me. Their sole purpose will be for my Gauls using Infamy Infamy. A recess was included in the tray design for a single D6 to keep track of casulties. After some experimention I think I found a look that I like for the trays.

Above are the trays that have just been spray painted skeleton bone.  The elements were glued into a central recess large enough for the unit. 

The above photo are the six movement trays that are completed, I used a sifted Krautcover Scencis Soil of Sparta for the basing. Six completed with six to go.

25/28mm WIP Kepis and Bayonets/Sharpe's Practice

This is the start of my ACW project for the release of Kepis and Bayonets but I may end up playing Sharpe's Practice instead.  I received a collection of Perry Miniatures, both metals and plastics, as part of a bulk purchase. I sold half,  gifted another quarter of the figures which were used by William in my previous blog post about the ACW Sharpe's Practice game we played and kept the rest for this project. 

ACW Figures as is

After another member of the Montreal Historical Wargaming Club, posted about the start of his Confederate Army I reponded that I had some troops available to save the Union. As you can see above they have a basic block painting style. I started with a rebase and experimented with a couple of styles of Kraut Cover Scenics.  

I will repaint the flesh as they currently look undead, or at least did not get any sun.  I'll add some detailings and finish with a wash to give them  depth. I've seen what some of the OMG (Ottawa Miniatures Games) group was able to do with similiarly painted figures from the same source. 

My treated artillery, I now have 96 infantry to update.

 

Late Roman Levy - Slingers

This project began on Thursday evening after I signed off work and was intented as an entry in the recent Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge. Twelve Late Roman slingers, or a Saga Levy. The work was completed in 15 stage, at all hours of the day or night. From the first application of paint applied to the trousers (AV Game Color 72.037 Filthy Brown to the final stage of a coat of Mod Podge applied to provide a sealant for the Meadows of Purity Krautcover Scenics. I just wanted to see if I could push it throught in about 60 hours.

It takes a Pillage to Raze a Village

 A line paraphrased from a game of Viking 878 that we played a few years ago. Mike actually quipped, "It takes a pillage to raze a church" and I made the next logical leap. These were some ruined walls that came with an order last year. For the life of me I can't remember where from. I checked my emails without success of finding the source. 

My trusted Centurian is there to show scale.

I thought it would be a good time to try out using Krautcover Scenics - Tales from a Forest Moon to enhance the debris look of a ruined building falling into itself.

25mm Hellenistic/Carthaginian Elephant

I believe that this was the old Aventine Hellenistic/Carthaginian elephant before they made the switch to resin. I painted the elephant and howdah early last year when I first purchased this Warband. However the 4 crewmen have sat around gathering dust. Since I was working on the Greeks it was only natural to finish this option as part of the The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge. 

Aventine Hellenistic/Carthaginian elephant

The base is covered with Krautcover Scenics - Soil of Sparta. I like the look it provides to the base.

SAGA - Levy Archers - Claymore Castings Completed

 This is the third unit of 12 levy archers from Claymore Castings that I completed. They are for use with both my Age of Chivalry Scots or various English factions. I used some Kraurtcover Scenics Meadows of Purity and Army Painter Battlefields Highland Tuft for the bases. I am very happy with the look.

WIP - Numidian Field Force - New Directions Part 2

 My 2nd unit of Cavalry nears a state of readiness required for the Clash of Spears day taking place at the Abyss on October 5th. A photo of the figures drying under a lamp. The plastic Victrix figures were glued into Wargames Atlantic, recessed 50mm oval bases. White glue and Krautcover Scenics Soil of Sparta were used as a filler.

Really like the look of the Soil of Sparta from
