Some shots from today’s ACW game.

Another large American Civil War game on Friday. Troops and terrain on the table ready to go. Should be about 9 of us playing.

General Grant and General Lee bases from the game. These are 28mm Dixon ACW miniatures.

Setting up for a huge ACW game today.

Played DBA LOTR at the club last night.

Polish Winged Hussars or Lancers. Now these took a while to paint.

Been painting some weird shit this week! All for my Classical Indian Ancients Army.

A mate printed this for me to use as a camp/fortress in our DBA Fantasy LOTR games. Durins Door. Couldn’t wait to get paint on it. I’m going to try and get a light inside it as well.

1/3 Last night was #GroupNorth wargaming club AGM which is always followed by a painting tattoo. The below thread shows the entries for Army category. Tell me which one you would have voted for?

Been rebasing my LOTR Army of the Dead for DBA Fantasy rules. They will now be fast hordes in the game.

I’m sure some of you will remember this guy? This was a tough build but I got there in the end. Polish Lancer from Waterloo. Very early Airfix kit. I’m now going to have a bex and a lie down 😀👍

Just completed basing up Radagast the Brown #radagastthebrown, complete with some resin printed Forest Animals to keep him company. #LOTR #LordoftheRings #Radagast #magic #magicusers #28mm

Don’t have any GW figures to use as Haradrim for our LOTR game so just used my DBA Saracens with a Mage on a flying carpet.

The LOTR game has begun. Having a ball.

3D resin printed forest animals fighting for the Elves

Galadriel meets Ringwraith

LOTR Uruk-Hai ready for the game tomorrow.

Do you remember Tom Bombadil? And Goldberry? From the LOTR books. He will be making an appearance in tomorrow’s DBA Lord of the Rings game. The DBA fantasy rules allow you to field “Gods.” So Tom will be a God. If you’ve read have read the books you will know why.

This guy is a Paladin for the Knights of Dol Amroth. He will be breaking Orc heads tomorrow.

Setting up for today’s huge LOTR game using DBA Fantasy rules. More photos to come.

Last nights LaSalle Napoleonic game, Austrians vs French with a French victory.

Saw a nice WWII Bolt Action Pegasus Bridge game today.

Last night was our first game of Lord of the Rings using DBA fantasy rules. Uruk-Hai vs Elves and the Knights of Dol Amroth coalition. The rules worked really well for LOTR with a myriad of differently themed armies possible.

12 player game of DBA Big Battles at the club last night. Romans vs Gauls. 28mm miniatures. That’s me left hand side far end. Victory to the Gauls.

Still experimenting on larger scale figures. These are 54mm 1:32 soft plastic French Voltigeurs by @hatminis.bsky.social. I did struggle with removing mould lines/flash & found the soft plastic difficult to work with. Also backpacks don’t fit overly well. Still, in the end they have come up okay.

Battle of Atlanta 1864 Confederates on the base with 4 backdrops to choose from. If you like let me know which one you would go with? All backdrops are of scenes from the battle.

Finally completed my ACW Confederates from the battle of Atlanta 1864. This a metal 54mm figure from Andrea Miniatures. Will do another post on how I am thinking of displaying him.

As my eyesight grows dim I am really enjoying painting these 54mm figures. These 3 are Saxon Warriors.

Wow, getting these 4 Pegasus Knights in one photograph is not easy. 3 x Bretonnians and 1 x conversion to a Knight of Dol Amroth champion for LOTR.

The Yanks finally reach the bocage and the urban fighting begins.

The British advance up their side of the beach with tank support.

Game is underway and I am commanding the Americans. Using #ChainofCommand rules. All minis are 28mm.

Let the game begin. Chain of Command

Setting up for a fictional D Day game on Friday.

A few shots from last nights Roman’s vs Sassanids game of DBA Big Battles at Group North.

Finally completed the last Pegasus Knight.

This is still a WIP but I’ve started to contemplate the base. Never used one of these high back bases before from Greenstuff World before. What would you paint as the backdrop for this pair of Confederates?

Prussian command stand done.

Oaky, now for something completely different. These are hard plastic 54mm Victrix British Peninsular War Flank company troops. Never painted this scale in hard plastic before. Was certainly a challenge. Let me know what you think.

Another Prussian Napoleonic unit completed. These are 28mm Front Rank Miniatures

Latest commission piece finished. These are 60mm or 1/30th scale Old Guard figures by King and Country Toy Soldiers. Arranged in a scene depicting the last stand of the Guard at Waterloo.

The Irish Brigade moves into position. #ACW #Union

Wargaming evangelism in action. Two of my son-in-laws and my grandson.

Another very old Dixon Miniatures ACW Union unit painted in the early 90s. Rushes Lances.

It’s wonderful to be able to still play with troops I painted back in the early 90s. These Dixon Miniatures painted as the Louisiana Tigers have seen many games and in my mind still look a treat with their wobbly stripes and eyes painted in. Freehand flag as well.

Confederate artillery race to get the best position.

Setting up the wargaming table for a big ACW game today with my sons-in-law. Wargaming evangelism in progress here 😂

The Prussians keep rolling off the painting desk. Here are some Militia. I do love the last photo showing Front Rank Miniatures detail in sculpting, a militia conscript in bare feet 🦶
