10mm British Western Desert forces - Command stands added

British command stands
On the left, Colonel Antrobus of the 139th Borsetshire Light/Heavy Foot, his two 'loyal' servents Yab Taeid (in red) and Eaqid 'Ahmaq (with Fez), that he aquired in Alex, and his long suffering batman, Sgt Phillip Archer, scope out what is going on from a rise. Meanwhile their badly parked Humber Heavy 4 by 4, 'borrowed' from the 201 Guards Brigade, idles.
On the right, the, so-far ill-fated, armoured command AEC Dorchester

Frostgrave Warband; an orc!

An orc, been sitting in the pile of shame for a while. He's on a 30x30mm base Probably end up with my gobbos Four more skeletons, a gift from my lovely neighbour Brian. Two Prinz August self molded skeletons and two games workshop skeletons. Back view Quite a mix of weaponry Charge Antediluvian Miniatures recently produced these, and I just had to have them!

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!

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 ...
