15mm Early Medieval or Norse-Irish commission

After finishing the Spartans, Phil (no, the other one) asked me to do some medieval Irish for him from the Donnington Ancient & Modern range.Always up for a challenge, I agreed.

They arrived and rather fun figures they were too. I painted them under the principle of the posher, the better the clothing.

Phil will do his own basing later.
Starting off with the lowest of the low, the slingers.

Nobility or strongmen?

They must be getting richer, they've got trim on their outfits.

Kings and things

Brightest and cleanest of the lot

Positively regal

Mounted kings and nobility, plus a representative from Craggy Island?

Oldest and most sacred banner

Definitely the poshest

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

'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,...
