Tonight i've put together a prototype for my Goblin Siege Warmachine
It won't look like this because i'll probably use balsa wood and coffee stirrers for the frame, but this is to get an idea of dimensions and to use to test what works

My latest: Battle Maps for Miniature Wargamers, a collection of 52 maps (one for every week of the year) with suggestions for how they can be re-interpreted for different theatres, periods and even genres. There are even suggestions for how the maps can be linked to create your own simple campaigns.

My train to Sheffield turns out to be run by Northern rather than CrossCountry.
It's uncomfortable, cold and crowded
Overall, quite an improvement over CrossCountry.

Altefritzenburg Militia!
I've wanted to do a militia unit for a while. No clue where the idea came from. Possibly just saw some of the figure and thought what the hell! So finally got round to them... Started last month though I've had all the figures for a couple of years. Figures are a mix of Crann Tara, Minden, and Fife and Drum.
