Last night we played another game of Black Powder set in 1808 using the Russian and Swedish armies. This game was not based on any sort of historical event, instead I hastily devised a generic scenario. The idea was that one out three Swedish brigades had captured a strategicly important crossroads, while all three RussianContinue reading “Battle for the crossroads”

And one more…
At the moment one figure at a time is about what I can manage. This one is a Perry miniatures Afrika Korps NCO with a Warlord head, and painted as GD at Kursk. Unfortunately the magazine of the SMG wasnt perfectly cast, and that shows now that the figure is painted. I really should andContinue reading “And one more…”
Another German…
Just one more Foundry German, again this one has a Warlord Games head. These figures are exactly what you want in ww2 Germans for games like CoC or BA; they wear the high boots, but not the gas mask bag on the chest as some other makers versions. This means that they have the lookContinue reading “Another German…”
German officer
Have had very little time over for painting lately, but managed to do this German officer. I painted him in a early war style uniform but a 1943 style of camo helmet cover. I have prepared a few more figures in a similar style and hopefully will be able to finish them in the comingContinue reading “German officer”
A game, sort of…
This weekend I had the opportunity to try out my gaming boards and new terrain pieces with a couple of old friends. We played a bit of Black Powder but only did two rounds or so before we called it a night. Although the gaming didnt really take off, I was very pleased with theContinue reading “A game, sort of…”
A crazy idea
For my last set of tank riders, I thought of a crazy idea. One of the officer figures I have for my Soviets is a bonus figure that comes with the Warlord Games army book. The bonus figure holds a flag in one arm. I though this was silly at the time, and just removedContinue reading “A crazy idea”
German lmg team and nco
Another addition to my very slowly growing collection of WW2 Germans. This is a lmg team and a nco, figures are by Warlord Games. Originally, these were sculpted to look like cavalry, but the only thing I needed to do was remove the spurs on their boots and they pass for regular infantry or panzerContinue reading “German lmg team and nco”
Game markers
These are some markers for WW2 gaming. Casualty figures are from Great Escape Games, pin markers were made from Warlord Games’ old markers for Bolt Action with some extra bits, mounted on bases from Warbases. Lastly, fire/smoke markers, mainly for marking knocked out tanks or destroyed buildings. All work for both Bolt Action and ChainContinue reading “Game markers”
Basing Red Army tank riders
The old Warlord Games tank rider figures are pretty cool. However, anyone who has tried using them in a game will probably agree that they are not very practical, especially the ones standing up. They just fall over and off the tank all the time. And the whole idea is that they will ride onContinue reading “Basing Red Army tank riders”
Russian artillery
Ive recently painted up some more additions to my 1808 Russian artillery, namely a limber for my 3-pounder gun and an ammunition cart. The riders may not sit perfectly in their saddles – I just happened to run out of superglue so they are still loose… Ive also re-based the guns themselves on small ovalContinue reading “Russian artillery”
