Defenders against Royal Tyranny or cursed rebels? All a matter of perspective!

The AK paint pen is working a treat for labelling the bottom of unit bases. Previously I’ve used white fine liner that rubbed right off

While I’m sure something fantasy or sci-fi will win (it’s a numbers game after all). I’ve put in a forlorn vote for plastic Austrian-Hungarians to compliment their World War 1 range.

Fantastic day at the RE Play show at the Royal engineers museum. I was lucky enough to play in a huge battle of Hastings.
I commanded the right flank of the Anglo-Saxons. Might have committed the classic blunder of charging down the hill but the flank held and we carried the day!

Does anyone else feel like 2025 has been a year chock full of new rulesets? Particularly Medieval and WW1…
Just seen that Gripping Beast have come out with/are supporting a new WW1 game, which like many others are focused on the 100 days Offensive

I took a punt on a Bolt Action mystery box and worked out how much you actually save from it.
Worked out for me as I had a plan for boxes that I wasn’t fussed about, but I don’t think a mystery box is for everyone!

Does anyone know if the larger Empress Miniatures Russian Civil War range is delayed or shelved? I know they came out with some lovely Ukrainians a few years ago but also found these previews from 2023 that don’t seem available.

More US armour rolls off the painting desk. 3 Priests and 4 M10 Wolverines. Crew took a little bit of time but worth the effort!

Great days gaming today, as one of my mates put on a 6 person Hail Caesar game, using Epic figures he’s painted over the last year.
The game was a ‘What if’ following Trebia, and the Roman Remnants succeeded in holding on long enough to give Rome some hope!

It’s a soggy morning here in Kent, so a good time to share my latest video where I go through my Home Guard army and hoe to use it in Bolt Action with the new Armies of Great Britain.
Operation Sealion is my favourite ‘what if’ of WW2 by a long way!

After finishing my Italians I’ve been bouncing around for my next project, and then I found this Flames Of War starter set in the loft.
With nearly everything for a US army for Rapid Fire, I’ve decided that by documenting the project I might actually paint it all!

One of my big projects for the last year was an Italian Platoon for Sicily, and to celebrate finishing it, I’ve made a YouTube video going over the army, and the choices I made with it.
Not the best video by any means, but I appreciate anyone who watches it!
