    I managed to get a little bit more painted this week – starting on the operators and putting the final touches to the hard suits. I’m not too fussed about adding the wires for the machine guns but I probably will do down the line. Overall, fun kits to make and will be great fun…

  • Holiday Rollings

    With me being in the North for a decent length of time, I found myself journeying to York to pit myself in martial combat against my erstwhile foe. Well, martial combat meaning the deployment of tiny metal figures and dice. Iโ€™ll be writing a big post on modern wargaming rules when Spectre release their new…

    Sadly not quite as fast this week thanks to getting ready for Christmas and the work Christmas party. However, I have managed to get a few more models painted.   The first set was the duplicates of the Contractors Charlieย and the ISA agent I received in my kickstarter order. The originalย set was among the first…

  • Lead Mountain Update 14

    I got a fair number of models painted last week and almost all of the remaining spectre figures have turned up. This means, barring any sudden cool releases in January, we have a straight shot to the challenge’s deadline at the end of January. I’ve already go some models for my post challenge project but…

  • Lead Mountain Update 11

    As predicted last week was very quiet with only a few bits of progress. I did manage to get the prone sniper based and ready to paint (thanks to the arrival of some cavalry bases) and the Evil Bear Wargames Panther turned up. I also got some Humbrol tan spray to make the job. Based…

  • Lead Mountain Update 10

    After last week, I’veย slowed down a little bit in terms of painting. However, I have managed to add some more to pile thanks to Spectre’s upcoming releases. They had already announced vehicles in the past with their kickstarter exclusive SUV and their Technical project. However, we now see the first two releases, a SUV and…

  • Lead Mountain Update 9

    This week has been a pretty productive one. I’ve managed to finish off the insurgents, get my two VIPs finished and also tackled one of my personal stumbling blocks when it comes to painting. First up is the last 5 insurgents. Overall I’m quite happy with these guys – they look pretty sharp when placed…

  • Lead Mountain Update 7

    No Updates this week due to busy weekend airsofting and watching American Football. Managed to getย twoย games of Skirmish Sangin in and wrote an AAR of one over on the Skirmish Sangin forum atย https://www.hntdaab.co.uk/blog/2015/07/27/aar-street-fight/. Apart from that, no other changes. The list stands as it did in update 6. This weekend should see some activity.

  • Lead Mountain: Update 6

    So the Russians turned up. Four operators in modern gear with AKs (both full length and carbine), four low profile agents in civvies and one female agent (with a certain haircut that should be familiar to fans of a certain Captain America film) in a leather jacket. Overall, I’m a big fan of them. The…
