Brighton et Gloriam, MeG Tournement. 10000 points, the intro!

This last weekend in January saw the first MeG competition at the Dice Saloon in Brighton.
Great venue, well worth a visit if you ever end up down there. A well stocked store, with plenty of good rooms for many games in their library, good food and drink, and also a video game area too. It was a popular set up, very friendly. Top all round.

Sixteen of us had entered, and there was a fair mix of armies. Unfortunately, a shelving disaster had knocked out one player already, so Simon Cook our glorious umpire and organiser had to bravely step up and play with his Ptolemaics. Ade Nash with his Mid Republican Romans is also missing off this list too.

My list, it may be rewritten when I get time, effort, or motivation...

The draw was published while I was getting run over by Mark's Romans on Thursday night (Ade would play Simon round 1), and what do you know, my old sparring partner, rival, nemesis and friend, Nigel was my first opponent!

Seeing as I was list checker, I knew what his list would contain, hideous amounts of excellent Roman foot, and not much else!

Should be a great game, and a great way to start a weekend too!

The games:
1 vs Nigel Emsen's Early Imperial Romans
2 vs Stephen Stead's Carthaginians
3 vs Jersey James's Ancient British
4 vs Simon Cooks Ptolemaics

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. Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty). "Creedo!" I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere). This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure, Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure, completly repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over. Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them! 72 in the first three bases of 24s. Top view, had fun posing one stand at least The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24. Back view Not the crisp view I was after, but you get the idea. 40 in five lots of 8s Allowing for flexibility. Scoot 48 in fours Top view Threes, ten bases making another thirty. Moving quickly. Top down Twos, twelve of - standard size of US troopers, useful as small change for locals! From above Back view Damn, missed one! And one broke off his base, so he's Hollywood loss (insert Wilheim scream here). Top view 33 ones (two were joined together and counted in the twos. Cantabrian anyone? Spinning maelstrom of Souix! Almost a whole A4 of riders.
