Finished rebasing these figures. I only broke two shields and one figure off its base. I also reused the old tuffs.

Could anyone identify this miniature for me? I have searched under GW Ogre and Troll with no success.

Horrible job rebasing. Had to destroy the old 30mm deep mdf ones and replace with the correct 20mm ones. Getting the figures to fit was very fiddly and some overhang quite a bit.

Saturday I found out that my dismounted Charioteers were on the wrong size bases, so…

Played DBMM again today. I tried a four command formation instead of my usual three. My opponent had an almost mirror image of my Ancient Brits. My two allied commands went unreliable from the start. My opponent had one of his also unreliable. I struggled to get mine in line. 10 to 15 loss to me.

For #Orktober I painted two Gorka Morka Nobs plus some plastic boys I bought second hand which had been stripped and primed already. Annoyingly I found some sprue nubs on them when painting but am really happy with them. I have a Warboss and two metal Nobs to go with them that I am painting.

I got 15 minutes into season 1 episode 8 of Lioness when I figured that I should go to bed as it was past 11.30. Went to finish it the next day and found myself watching Season 2 which is crap. Turned it off after a screaming match in Episode 2. Prime has taken down Season 1.😔

Renovations completed on my DBMM built up area fortified on a difficult hill. BUAf for short. Also organised a fourth command to fit inside it.

I’ve finished a few Late War American troops for CoC. I should be able to make either 44 or 45 organisations with still plenty of figures left over. The originals were painted mid 2000’s so were fun to try and match.

I think that I have done enough on these 15mm buildings. They still look like would go better with 18mm or even 20mm figures. Will see what my club mates think.

No gaming on Saturday but I picked up some stowage kits and started to spray my 15mm Russian buildings.

I played DBMM today, my Ancient Brits verses Carthaginians. I wanted to learn how to use a BUAf. (Built up fortified settlement). So the game was not serious. My Warband decided to stay back and watch while the wings got stuck in. My left wing died and the right was blocked by the BUAf. 😥

Fxxxing great.😠 Several days after making an order to a UK trader my credit card was used to run up very large payments to UK immigration. I normally use Paypal but recent events have put me off using it. I have let the trader know just in case they have a problem there.

I’m trying to make these 15mm Russian mdf buildings actually look Russian.

Oh great, just set myself up to do some painting and the power just went out. Good thing that I had already put on the gas fire. We’ve had high winds all day which meant I’ve had to constantly pick up rubbish blown onto my property.

Another batch of things that I’ve had to put aside so I can concentrate on the recent Demo game. A Solido M20 which I measured as 1/50th scale but still looks really small. Ok with 1/56th I suppose. Also the 57mm gun for the US Paras. I also finished some PSC 15mm heavy cars and a PIII.

Another bit of terrain for my Sci Fi setup up done. The openness of these Plastcraft Games walkways have been bothering me. I have assembled covers using some Plastcraft and Mantic doors plus some Sci Fi kit bits and a couple of old printer parts.

Earlier this week I finished off making a box to hide my compressor in. I fitted some foam to quiet the noise down but I will still have to wear ear defenders. I will have buy some fittings for the cover but for now the couch holds it on.

A painting job I keep pushing aside as more urgent jobs needed doing. Extra gun and support weapon crews and other figures to expand my CoC US Paras. Warlord figures with a single BlackTree design mine detector.

This weekend myself and two others put on a demonstration game of Battlegroup using my 20mm collection. The game was the D Day landings on Sword beach. I have so many photos that I will post some here but most on my Blog. The initial landings were very bloody, the two Allied players were worried.🧵

Some last minute additions for this weekends demo game. Luckily I was able to match the paint job on the previously finished bulldozer just forgot to weather it the same😥

So I packed away my models etc for next weekends Demo game, a couple more to finish though. I thought that I should have a break but no. Instead set up a 6x4 to re-learn CoC with a 4x4 area marked off for What a Dr (Who?). So maybe next week I will have a break.🤔😀
