This 28mm Life: December 2013
http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 15 December 2013. Well, here comes another contentious figure. This time it's the Eternal Champion Hawkmoon. I thought I'd have a try at sculpting our hero just to see what came up. I did this without any reference material or any design concept in mind. I just designed it as I went along. The only real thoughts I had were to make him lightly armoured in a fancy sort of way. Anyway, here's our hero:. Friday, 13 December 2013. Granbretan Order of the Bull and The Boar. With this one I'm taking mor...

This 28mm Life: More Regiments
http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2014/04/more-regiments.html
Friday, 25 April 2014. I've been taking things slowly and painting a few more Napoleonic regiments. I'm unsure what rules to use but at this stage General d'Brigade is looking like the most likely contender. I'm also unsure what army I'm making! I've traditionally played French and Prussian so I started on French and Wurttembergers. I then thought: "Why not try British? All in all, what have I achieved? Here are some photo's:. 26 April 2014 at 05:16. Bloody hell, Ian! I never thought Id see the day!

Thursday, 25 December 2014. So I managed to finish my version of The Argo on Christmas day. I'm pretty happy with the results although I found painting freehand straight lines on an unusually shaped curved surface to be quite difficult. So the lines are a bit dubious in some places. I'm not sure if I'll include Heracles at this stage. Medea and Orpheus are there as spell casters. For accompanying the rest of the Away Team. The only one to be named will be Typhus the navigator. Anyway, here's the photos:.

This 28mm Life: November 2013
http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, 25 November 2013. Well I've been continuing to make vulture warriors and I've finished five so far and they are now at Eureka ready to be cast. I forgot to take a pic of the last one I finished (a Standard Bearer) but I do have some pics of the other most recent ones. And here they are: Two Handed Sword and Flame-lance. Monday, 18 November 2013. Friday, 15 November 2013. Here come the Granbretanians! Look out Hawkmoon here come the Granbretanian beastmen. My concept of the figures will be along t...

This 28mm Life: January 2014
http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 20 January 2014. I've continues to slog away at the Runestaff figures (even during our recent heatwave). I managed to finish a few more of the Vulture Legion including the first cavalry figure and a musician. The thinking behind the cavalry is this: The Vultures legion is made up of Muskovite mercenaries so what better than a cossack style. Looking at the other beast orders this give us a chance to make a light cavalry element. But that wouldn't have worked. So I settled on a gong. Webstore. ...

This 28mm Life: August 2013
http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, 23 August 2013. IHMN - First Game. Had my first game of IHMN last night at Nunawading Wargames Club. My friend Richard and I decided to give the rules a test run. His Society of Thule v's Mrs Slocombe and her Girls. I got to use my long abandoned Victorian board and terrain which was good. It's a pin in the rump to cart around and set up but it looks nice. For the sake of learning the basics we just had a general bash and here are some pics. The Scene: The docks in a Old London Town. I've had a c...

Tuesday, 27 January 2015. It All Sounds Greek to Me. Well, I haven't sculpt anything for the past couple of weeks as I wanted to get a bit of painting done. So here are a couple of pics of some stuff:. And here is a pic of my first ever Athenian Hoplite Phalanx (I decided to get into ancient wargaming this year). The pic doesn't do them justice as they are super colourful. Jason and The Argonauts. Monday, 12 January 2015. However, today I finished Dorian Hawkmoon, Duke of Koln and got a couple of decent ...

This 28mm Life: June 2015
http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 5 June 2015. By that I mean I'm hopeless at being a consistent blogger. However, since I had reason to look at my blog again I thought it would be a good time to do an update. So, over the past couple of months I've been doing some painting. Nothing difficult but something I've wanted to do for a while now. Here is what I've done so far:. They turned up wonderfully but they took a long time to paint. Anyway, here they are:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Beneath the Lily Banners. I've been a wargame...

This 28mm Life: July 2013
http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 July 2013. My usual Monday sees me taking my elderly mother out to do her shopping. Whilst waiting around I took a look into one of the thrift shops near by and found these:. The space ship won't need much modification just a nice paint job and a few little added extras. Just what I need for my Venusian Valkeeri. The big red pen will make a nice missile with a few fins added and a bit of paint. This will be added to my growing bunch of sci-fi terrain/objectives. Figures cast and Painted.
