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.

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

Xenos Rampant: Kindred vs Tau, Mission Juliet

"Right chips! Mission is jolly simple, get in, snatch the objectives, get out." "Sir?" "Yes Sergent?" ""What objectives?" 'Well, lads, the Colonel has quite taken by the local antique furniture, he wants a set for his holiday home!" "Ohhh. Siiiiiiiiiiir!" I brought my Kindred, but forgot Snoopy , who would have been really useful for this scenario. Mort suggested we played 27 points. I brought that, I hope he did too. My infantry was upgraded to Heavy Infantry, two with anti-tank, one without, all with heavy weapons, Fray Bentos the Tank was back, as well as the Vickers HMG team. Mort brought his Tau, two large units of heavy infantry with heavy weapons. a unit of drones - lesser Xenos upgraded for shooting, and a walker/tank. One of the objectives Nice table A chair sitting proud in ruins. Two more bits sat on hills waiting for new owners.   The Vickers heavy weapons team heads into the squeltch to give fire support,...
