Welcome

Welcome to my wargaming blog,
I'm Dave and live in Morpeth, Northumberland in the UK.
This may or may not be a regular thing, we'll just have to see how it goes.

I am a painter/collector of figures first and a wargamer second. My thrill in this great hobby of ours is to place that final well researched & painted unit into the cabinet. The actual gaming with the figures is an important but secondary experience, we all like to win, but it isn't the be all and end all of it, being with good friends and having fun is.
Hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I will writing in it.
Just to remind the visitor to scroll down the various pages and click on 'older posts' to see more.
Dave.

Otterburn additions.

 As our club Boarder Reiver Wargames Society is putting on a display game at the Elsdon Fete in Northumberland later this month the collection I had to contribute never had any civilian figures to show in particular the two Scottish camps present during the encounter in 1388, (scroll down from this post for further info on the battle).

So here are a very nice collection of 1st Corps 28mm figures that will do perfectly.








The village is within a few miles of the site of the battle and in itself is worth a visit, very pretty.

Dave.

  1. A great event to be involved in. Not the easiest battle to recreate though

  2. Quite correct David, more of a large skirmish than a battle and very limited information to go from. Fossard mostly and his interviews with descendants were about one hundred years after the event. My collection has the heraldry particularly for that encounter and I relied heavily on Charlie Wesencraft for assistance, lovely bloke.
