Warrior Miniatures

 

Read my new book “How to Grab the Attention of Men of a Certain Age”. 

Otherwise…

Warrior Miniatures is firing up again! John has enlisted the help of his granddaughter and her hubby to fire up the Quattro and get the figures moving once more. This is good news on several fronts, mainly that John will have something better to do in his old age than the normal elderly pastime of hanging around garden centre cafes.

Ropes are being learned and it may take some time to get into full production, so drop John a line if you want to know what is available. Some of the upgraded Napoleonics I produced may finally see the light of day!

If anybody out there has access to a forum (I seem to be banned from TMP, probably for all the trolling I was doing), please pass on the good news.

Finally calling it a day with wargaming. Haven’t done anything since 2018 aside from buy and paint things which just sit in the loft for a couple of years before being sold unused.

I will be selling everything apart from the model aeroplanes. The AWI militia - complete with rat-arsed Mel Gibson figure - has already gone to the US and I’m prepping the rest of the AWI for sale this weekend. Drop me a line if you are interested in anything I’ve posted here (I won’t publish any contact details), otherwise it’s going on EvilBay for silly money.

So, to everybody who has taken time to read and comment on this nonsense over the years, this says it all:

Leib Garde & Light Dragoons

Not done a great deal recently apart from chill out and watch DVDs (Wild Geese, Magnificent Seven,  In Search of the Dark Ages...), mainly because my angiogram found a magnificent 95-99% blockage! So the wife has wrapped me in cotton wool until I get a stent fitted on Monday. Or two, as another artery is at 75%. I rarely do things by halves. Does explain an awful lot of the health problems I’ve been having this year, but it means I have to put up with my crappy knee for a while longer.

Anyway, my painting therapy (much nicer than Glyceryl spray) has resulted in this:

I’ve also managed to make progress on updating the Warrior British Light Dragoons:

John sent me the updated Heavies today and they have come out rather well; worth all the aggravation they caused me. Thankfully the Lights have been a lot easier because I don’t want anything winding me up at the moment!

Württemberg IR#1 Prinz Paul: finished!

Killing two birds with one stone, here are the completed Wurttembergers showing how the bases look after a good coat of Tamiya yellow green:

Just to add a bit of interest to my French corps formations, I include a unit from one of the smaller client states. I will limit myself to three corps (each of 4 x infantry, 1 x light cavalry, 1 x artillery and 3 x skirmishers), but will be able to represent different formations just by swapping out the allies. 1st Corps is entirely French, though, because I didn’t come up with this idea until last month.... 🙄

Swiss or Nassau up next!

More French Cavalry

Right lads! Now we’re all glossy it’s off to base camp!

Now I have a full box of painted figures it’s time for basing. Not such an onerous task now I just glue on some scatter and plaster it with Tamiya Yellow Green.
