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.

Hinchliffe 25mm cavalry

 British light dragoons and Brunswick hussars to add to the 'old school' figure collection.





These figures were really the easiest to tart up. They had a basic rough paint job and needed a bit of work but most of what is left to do has to be started from scratch. Again some of these were very kindly donated to me by an un-named gent but he knows who he is and has my thanks.

The second Hanoverian militia battalion has been completed but I will photograph all of the figures together at a later date, for now I'm putting together a Hinchliffe French ammunition caisson and it has to be said a very nice model.

Dave.

  3. Many thanks lads, it’s not that I expect to wargame with them, it’s just that they are fun to collect.

  6. They look marvellous. It's nice to have both the 'well drilled' look of the light dragoons and more 'in action' look of the Brunswickers.
    They just *have* to end up on the table don't they?!!
    Best wishes, James
