Painted up these TAG Gendarmes I picked up when I visited the Hammerhead Show a couple of weeks ago.
Pictured with the Gendarmes are some pantile buildings I bought from Charlie Foxtrot Models at Hammerhead 2 years ago. Yes it's normal that it takes me that long to get round to doing terrain 🙂

Painted up these Gripping Beast metal 28mm Vikings that my gaming buddy Robert Hutton gave me from his pile of opportunity. First outing for the figures will be in Trygvasson's shield wall for the SoA battle day at the end of March where we'll be re-fighting the battle of Maldon 991.

Finished up a pack of Victrix Anglo Danes. Figures are all individually based to play Saga and Barons War Conquest but will be dropped into Sabot bases to play big battle games like Midgard and Mortem et Gloriam.
The chaps at the back are destined for the Battle of Maldon game at the end of March.

Yesterday we marked the release by Helion of the Italian Wars army lists for the Renatio et Gloriam rules by staging a big "all the toys on the table" historical re-fight of the battle of La Motta 1513 between Venetians and Holy League Spanish and Maximilian Germans.
Here's a few pics from the game.
