  • On The Work Bench 26/05/2016

    Still chunking through the US Army guys. They are all now base coloured but I still need to work on the detailing/camo. Been busy and haven’t got round to it yet. However, some more stuff has turned up. My Day of the Rangers kickstarter arrived (after a minor snafu with it being sent to my…

    Not much progress as last week was a bit mental but I did manage to paint up two of the US Army figures which will form the EOD team. The guy in the bombsuit is great but I was more interested in getting the test models painted in UCP. My previous attempt on some of…

  • Taking Stock

    I’ve finally got round to updating my collection page First of all, how the heck did I get so many figures? A common cry from war gamers everywhere. Second of all, I’ve been thinking about possible future purchases. One of the main thing I’ve been wanting to do is collect at least a squad for most nations…

  • For the Kaiser!

    (Sadly no pictures as I was too busy pushing models and throwing dice. Photos coming once the facebook page is updated) Wargames require two things that a lot of people can struggle to have – lots of terrain and another person to play. In addition, because of how long they take to play, you need…

    So stealing from several popular blogs, I’m going to a weekly post saying whats on my painting table this week as well as any models that have turned up. I don’t plan to buy a huge amount until the painting is done though – the army case is pretty full already. Newly Arrived: Spectre’s Agents…

    Sadly, I must call defeat on this challenge. based on the past few weeks I will not have enough time to finish all my models. Its a pain but things happen. Fear not though, I’ll keep writing these posts as I paint models As you might have guessed, nothing much got painted this week. Painted,…

  • Lead Mountain Update 18

    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. I’ll be writing a big post on modern wargaming rules when Spectre release their new…

  • Lead Mountain Update 15

    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 Charlie and the ISA agent I received in my kickstarter order. The original 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…

    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…
