Just going to paint this lot then have a break from Romans and Gauls.

So I know I’ve been working on these since Covid and others are way faster at painting (and definitely more focused). But I had the realisation this week that I actually have enough painted to play with 😱

Slight failure, bought the wrong varnish got Windsor and Newton General purpose Matt varnish. Matt it is not. Bugger

Nice to have the time, weather and varnish to get these finished

Hand painted less fiddly

Fiddly bastards 🤬

Time for a hifi update. So this is the painting room hifi. Meze 99 classic 2nd gen headphones and Chord Mojo 2 4.4 DAC and headphone amplifier. Sounds bloody awesome 👍

Nice to be painting again

Sometimes postie brings stuff other than minis. Sorry Ken but I wouldn’t describe any of this lot as either dirty or mucky @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social

Nice to be painting again.

The benefit of a permanent painting station, after a day typing and teams meetings I can relax and paint.

Allan Massie. RIP. I so enjoyed his Roman novels and wrote in my latest book that, in my opinion, his ‘Tiberius’ was his best. alexmassie.substack.com/p/allan-mass...

We are pleased to be able to announce that we fulfilled 57 Helping Hand requests during January handing out 647 FREE bases in the process!

With the announcement of our new website yesterday there are a number of exciting new updates we can share with you. The first is that our new website is IOSS enabled which will allow our EU based customers to pay VAT at the point of purchase!

Finishing touches tomorrow apparently I can paint straight lines after two large glasses of red wine 🍷

Definitely progress

So, a bit of a where I am as a gamer here. Finally tackling my judge dredd buildings for a project that has taken me so long to do the company has stopped production of the minis and no longer supports the rules. Am I going to stop. No I love Judge Dredd I’m going to crack on and play anyway 😀

Another addition to the western town complete. Just need to build a big red barn and it’s sorted. More excellent terrain from @warbases.bsky.social

How I paint stuff. Black Templar contrast paint over armour on grey primered minis

While preorders have closed for Vapnartak ahead of this weekends show, there is still time to place your preorder for Beachhead. Head over to www.warbases.co.uk and place your order and select Show Collection at checkout and we will see you on the day with your order.

Every now and again I paint a mini that I’m very happy with.

January’s impulse buy. Some Japanese Infantry from The Assault Group. Absolutely awesome minis.
