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.

Wagons ho!

 Quite a few of the current rulesets require wagons etc to be represented on the table top to show encampment areas, ammunition markers etc so I thought that I'd better paint a few up for my 10mm Napoleonic armies. I already have a number of ammunition wagons from Majister Militon and iI figured just get some more but as I'm sure the reader is aware they are no longer trading. Such a shame as they produced a large range of figures in small bags, I love Pendraken but if I need ten Mamalukes or whatever I don't want to purchase a hundred of the bloody things and that's where MM came in. I do hope some other company purchases the molds and they get out there again.

I digress, no limbers from MM so I tried online resin castings. Found just what I wanted, an ammunition limber, a supply wagon and an ambulance in Epic scale. fantastice casting, the bits fit together perfectly to build brilliant models but as I'm sure you have guessed Epic does not fit in with either 10mm or 15mm figures, there're 12mm and it just didn't look right. No complaints from me it said Epic and that's what I got, I still enjoyed making and painting them but it's onto EBay they have gone.

As always keep them or not I do like to record what I have painted so here's the pictures.








Lets see how much I get.

Dave.
