10mm Pendraken figures as Jewish Revolt army

Another archer unit, must be something about Xmas time makes me want to paint rebels!
These are on individual bases and more sombre in tone as they will be fanatics.


Looking at my date stamp on the last post here, it does mean they have been clogging up my painting desk for over a year!


Their job, get into bad terrain, hold it and snipe.


Odds of survival, slim to non-existent!


They blend in quite well really.

Here are the first units of my Jewish Revolt forces. All 10mm, all Pendraken.

Why? Because it's something completely different to my usual heavy infantry choices. It was meant to be used for a weekend a few weekends ago, but other people's work needed doing.
More will appear later (when other projects let me).

Starting with non-fanatic warriors


Two units, some using captured Roman equipment

Quite a mob


Archers (mix of ranges)


Shoot in all directions? I wish


What better way of celebrating Xmas?


Slingers - quite a lot of them


I don't normally do my skirmish units this big, but this time is suits the army.


It's just under a quarter of the army so far.

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   Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! Nasty rash there Puss, but no boots   Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit!

Soldiers of Napoleon - Imperial Guard vs Austrians.

 Mark and I met up for a game at Leighton Buzzard Wargames Club. My Imperial Guard vs his Austrians, but he had taken an earlier list (1806), whereas mine was back to 1811. This time saw the first fielding of my new Young Guard. My plan was to adance the guard through the two villages, one brigade had deployed forwards in the centre to accomplish this; then swing in from the left with the Gauard Heay Cavalry brigade. Unfortunately, Mark had other ideas! He had deployed with his cavalry brigade screening forwards. Then it all really went his way. Soldiers of Napoleon has three things you can do on each card, an amount of units that can move, a rally state and special events. Sometimes, the cards fall absolutely how you want them to, sometimes, they don't. Turn one and Mark had been dealt two sets of 'At the quick' special event cards, allowing a march and then a manouver (or vice versa) for three units. Exactly the amount of cavalry units in his brigade! Combined with a ...
