Mad Lemmey's Painting Blog

 It's that time of year again! Three themes this year in the MeG team events are Britannia - 55BCE to 900CE, 'Don't Tell Them Your Name Pike' (any army with two or more TuGs/units of Pikes), and Open 28mm (which has turned into Italian Wars) Britannia Conculcabitor Don't Tell Them Your Name, Pike!

Easter holidaqy activity, Rach painted her Axolotls I sculpted the bases for her (she wanted a water theme), applied inks before she highlighted and did the details on the eyes, the rest is entirely her work. Look, salmon rose! They are very much her favourite (this week) and gave my Platupuses a kicking on Thursday! Meanwhile, I finished my guild of foxes Feisty These just ooze sneakiness  Recently, my friend David introduced myself and my daughter to Zoontalis. It's a fast play, four creature aside combat game.

Gareth also gifted me some Gallic light horse, which were utterly beautiful, but were not based. So, in preparation for getting thumped next weekend, I based them up.  MeG get's its first run out as a 28mm competition this weekend. Yes, it is slightly out of my present scale for me, and means dusting off some old friends. Bought for me in 1999 by the amazing Mrs Lemmey from Gripping Beast, my Marian/Spartican Roman army for Warhammer Ancient Battles has been revamped and rebased. A few extra figures added, a few repairs here and there, and they are good for another 24 years! Caesar's legio X Army elite My view Legio IX Hispania, with their Eagle, and two new figures with Warlord's Volonius and Pullo from 'Rome' in the front rank (two of the new figures in the army) "Titus Pullo, get back in line you drunkard!" They are veterans, honest! Two average (and allied) legio You can tell they are average...
