Longstreet Campaign: Game 1

Well we had the first game in our Longstreet campaign last Thursday. Adam has posted AAR on his blog, The Fencing Frog.

We played the Hilltop Scenario from the rulebook.

I ended up being the attacker in only my second game of Longstreet. The game ended up being an impressive Confederate victory for Adam. But I have to say it was a great game and I look forward to more.

This and That

Winter War 1939-40: Finland

British Paratroops

The Company of Thorin Oakenshield

German WWII Vehicles

3/13éme Légére

German WWII Pioneers and PanzerKnackers

Finally getting some painting done, I have been really enjoying painting 20mm WWII figures and vehicles for Chain of Command. After Napoleonics they are a breeze to paint, but at the same time require a lot of research to get things right. The infantry figures below are painted with 13 different Vallejo colours, so they may look simple but work is required. The figures have been primes white while the vehicles were primed with BF Late War German Armour.

Gall-Gaedhil: The Sons Of Death

Almost 3 weeks after the start of the The Painting Challenge and I finally get my first submission painted. I have put up for 1500 points, going to be tough at this rate.

These are from Gripping Beast and are one of their Swords for Hire packs. I have all the swords for hire packs done now, I believe. They are nice enough, but they were challenge to get done. I started painting them on Thursday and had to have them in for Saturday afternoon as I had to work at 5 pm, so there was no time to use the magic dip. They were block painted, some highlights applied and then multiple different Citadel washes were used.
