Busy painting some Baccus 6mm Napoleonics and having a break from painting 28mm dark ages.

I haven’t posted any update for a couple of weeks and this is the telling of the saga I have endured. Last week I took a week off to help my girlfriend do DIY and redecorating at her house. So no hobby time.

In between DIY and redecorating, there was time for a nice long walk on Mersea Island.

Redecorating for a week - what a waste! Imagine how many minis I could get painted during a weeks annual leave!? And motorcycle rides! 🤣

So, who will the first to post a video of the Hammerhead show? I couldn’t make it unfortunately.

So it’s official I now have 2 big projects. The first is slaughter in the snow Ashdown 871 using 28mm figures. The second new project is slaughter in the snow Eylau using 6mm figures with 16 man companies, 9 companies per battalion. 1 base = 1 company.

Does anyone else suspect that Alfred offed his brother King Aethelred somehow in order to become King Alfred?

Dog sitting and household duties and obligations complete and it’s back to painting more Saxons, more, more, more!

Did you know the word name comes from the Anglo-Saxon word Nama, which means reputation.

My current listen whilst painting. A superb series even more superbly narrated.
What’s your current painting listen?

I find it very surprising that no manufacturer has yet released any plastic sets for the Seven Years War in Europe that I’m aware of?

Airbrushed with dark aluminium then a black wash applied. Now to lightly dry brush them with a silver.
P.S. Anyone else originally taught to spell medieval medaeval?

72 off Victrix 28mm Saxons now primed black as is proper. They will not be based individually. They will be based on large bases for Midgard and To the Strongest rules. @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social
