Wooden Spoon for Skull Rollers/MEG Grand Tournement this weekend

This is the biggest annual competition for Mortem et Gloriam, so I really put in the effort into painting this design*

As ever, a pain to photograph because of flat surface and metallics.

Based on the beautiful 2014 Wendy Gaffeney original, I just added a skulls as the competition is also known as 'Skull Rollers' due to MeG dice having skulls for kills...

Soldiers of Napoleon - French Imperial Guard vs Austrians - bad day to be a hussar.

Whilst down in Wiltshire for the Devizes comp, Nigel very kindly gifted me his 10mm Imperial Guard division from FOGN (Field of Glory Napoleonics), and although I had rebased the cavalry and generals (including painting some), the guard themselves were not finished. I scrabbled together a 900 Soldiers of Napoleon list (which turns out to be illegal, read the rules Will), and fielded it Vs Mark's undefeated Austrians. My army, including reserves, was twelve units and Mark could basically do that in two brigades! My list : Two brigades of two five Old Guard infantry, with two twelve pounders and full cassions. Guards Heavy cavalry brigade. Five Grenadiers a Chevel. Five Guards Dragoons. Three batteries of 8lber guns. Guards light cavalry brigade. Four Guards lancers, four Guards Chasseurs a Chevel. Three batteries of three 8lber guns. Mark had: An Avent Guard brigade with hussars, artillery, jagers and two infantry units, two dragoons with horse artillery as his cavalry brigade,An in...

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit! Thought it was only a few months back painted Sharke, but I checked back, 10th December 2022! Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day! Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, ...
