Gaelic Forces Arrived

The last eight days have been non-productive as far as gaming has been concerned. The only thing that was accomplished was the addition to a Gaelic force that I saw for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Last year when I was out east (Halifax)) I ordered a copy of the  Infamy Infamy rules from Too Fat Lardies.  

When I saw these figures on Facebook marketplace I immediately thought they would be a perfect match against my Romans for Infamy Infamy as well as a solid start for an Art de la Guerre Gaelic army. The Montreal club is planning a Too Fat Lardies day in January and I now hope to make a contribution with an  Infamy Infamy game. 

All photos taken by the seller.

The total was 88 figures based as12 elements of six various Gaelic warriors on 60mm bases, and another 16 slingers based as 4 figures per 60mm circular skirmish elements. I believe the seller told me the figures were by 1st Corps. The only thing I contributed to this army was the addition of Magnetic base bottoms from Litko Game Accessories.

 

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.

Rebasing Cavalry project. Never ending projects

New Lease on Life

These figures were part of a collection gifted to me by the widow of Jef Lauzon, who passed away in 2004. He was a master of the WRG 6th edition ancients rules and when I received them they were individually mounted. Fourteen elements of pike mounted for ADLG rules.  These were the armed might of his Successor Armies.

I spent the last few evening rebasing the figures. I need to do some sprucing up of the figures and of the bases upon which they are attached.

Nine bases of 50 year old plus pikemen (Minifigs or Hinchiffe Models I am not certain which)  and another 5 consisting of 1977 Ral Partha figures. 

I even had sufficient loose figures to create some command figures on foot. Now to attach 120 plus pike.

What do you know. I found a couple of hundred fresh pike stored away in a parts box. First 24 pike are attached. They look far better armed.
