SHOCK - UPDATE

 My goodness, an update from me, midweek.

I must be feeling better today.

Here's a peek at some Warlord Games EPIC Zulus.

This is one base, 8 figures or so, work in progress, needing a coat of matt spray and, highlights on the terrain and, some tufts. These are 'unmarried' troops so black shields.

Many more are in the immediate pipeline.

Four bases like this will make a 'Zulu Regiment' and you can make two such units from a single sprue.

Another feature of my renewed painting behaviour is 'variety', no, not that song and dance showtime, change of size, change of theatre, breath of fresh air.

With me so far?

Here's an Orc.

He's not reached the painting queue yet. Big lad, bit of a knob!

That's all for today folks, see you next time.

Kirriemuir 2026

The next wargames show I plan to attend is tomorrow at Kirriemuir in Bonnie Scotland.

TARGE 2026

Are any of my readers going along? Come and say hello.

Apologies to any of my readers who have missed my usual posts as I have been remiss in presenting them.

I haven't been well recently is some respects, nothing life threatening or (maybe it is life threatening).

Time will tell.

The main impact on myself is a sheer shortage of painting time although I have an enormous amount of painting to do.

Keep your eyes peeled and we'll see what I can come up with.

Teaser (Zulu's, hundreds of them)

Best regards.

Forest Dragon 3D Sculpts

 A Christmas pressie to myself ...

... and on the inside.

Not the best presentation with their packaging.

Contents are revealed.

Can you tell what they are yet?

Lots and lots of figures.

Four footed as well as two footed.

And wings.

A closer inspection will be necessary to identify them.

More with wings.

These look familiar.

3D printed as a block.

Note the support struts which need to be trimmed, although I have left some in place where some outlying parts are under threat.

Here are Dire Wolves alongside their painted brethren.

A lot of painting now required.

Dire Straits

 Nice band but here's some 'doggies' I got at the weekend, freshly painted.

Undead Dire Wolves.

10mm 3D prints from Forest Dragon.

Damsel in Distress

 Damsel standing at 26mm high feet to head dress.

Hope you like her.

Claymore 2025

It's that time of year again, doesn't time pass quickly!

 Claymore 2025 – South East Scotland Wargames Club

I hope to be present at the show again although I'll not be offering any flea market goodies.

I have been under doctors orders again, not allowed to drive and maybe having to carry a walking stick.

The medical jury is still out but so far they have eliminated a stroke and a TIA from suspicion.

That leaves quite a few other options.

Catch me for a chat if you can.

Sorry for the rushed photographs, a thunderstorm was approaching.
