True to my wargaming butterfly nature I have completed a mixed bag of painting recently. First up, I return to the 'Wars of the Roses' with a unit of 28mm Burgundian Handgunners, plastic figures from Perry Miniatures. Lovely figures to paint and I am hopeful of a game of 'Never Mind the Billhooks' very soon. More Wars of the Roses figures are currently being assembled.
I also finally got round to painting the first few bases for my 15mm Macedonian army. It was only when I started to clean up the pikemen that I discovered that they were wearing trousers which really makes them more suitable for a later army of Alexander if not even the Successor's. These are Museum Miniatures original sculpts and I used transfers from VVV for the shields. The Cretan Archers are from their new Z range, lovely figures to paint. I also made a small pond or spring for my ancient battlefields.
Next, inspired by the recent games of 'Galactic Heroes' with Chris, I speedily made and painted some of the new Stargrave miniatures which Chris and his son kindly gave me. These are easy to build and are ideal for GH. I made just enough for a crew.
those 15mm look really good and the Wars of the Roses miniatures. such a great part of history.
ReplyDeletethose Stargrave minitures are gonna be awesome for Galactic Heroes, debating if i wanna do 28mm though for FFoL.
Thanks for the kind comments. I think for the small number of figures you need for FFoL 28mm will look best but 20mm and 15mm will work just fine.
ReplyDeleteAll very good, I really like your Stargrave stuff. I do think 28mm is the scale for GH, maybe 20mm or 15mm for Bigger Battles?
