ECW Game!

Now then,

Another good game of Impetus Baroque with the lads over in Redmire today. No battle report but heres a few pics.

Royalists struggle to keep order crossing the river.


Parliamentarians move forward, covered by a cannon.






















Johns Scottish contingent. Sitting pretty in the fields, a tough nut to crack for my Royalist foot!



(awaiting flags)




The Royalist close in on the stubborn Jocks!


A firefight ensues along the Scots defenses, and eventually I manage to flank them with my Dragoons!


Stuarts Parliamentarian foot.

 A good game, The Royalists were fought to a standstill by the combined Parliamentarian and Scottish forces. We called it a draw. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the big cavalry scrap in the middle, sorry Pete!

Cheers for looking,

Rebaseathon Part II (10mm Britons)

Now then,

Here is part 2 of my mass rebasing madness. These have been finished a while but, like the Romans before them were never photographed properly....

So here we go:


4 Units of Skirmishers


6 Units of Light Cavalry


6 Units of Light Chariots



I normally mix the light chariots and cavalry up and count them all as being the same in TTS.



The main part of this army is the masses of warband infantry. 

I have 22 bases of warband infantry, each with between 24 - 30 figures on each base. No wonder they took so long to paint!


 I really like the mass effect with this army, whilst the miniatures aren't my best painted, its still one of my favorite armies.





A few pics of the masses! Infantry block in the centre, cavalry and chariots on the wings and a reserve of infantry waiting behind.

For more have a look here

Cheers for looking!

Re-baseathon part I (10mm Romans)

Now then,

I have rebased alot of stuff recently. I thought id best get some of it photographed and get the blog updated, as ive been neglecting it of late.

So a few months ago now I rebased my 10mm ancient collection off the old 40mm x 20mm warmaster bases to new big bases for To the Strongest, or Impetus.

So, without further ado, here they are:

Legions


8 Legionary Cohorts


Each Legionary cohort has 24 models, in 3 ranks.

To the right you can see the mass effect that can be achieved with 10mm!


Legion artillery

Veteran Cohorts,  these could be the 1st Cohort, or Pratorian guard units.

Slightly different figures, and ive painted them with white tunics to make them stand out a bit.


Auxiliaries






4 units of Auxiliary spearmen, pretty much the same as the Legionaries.



 I could use the Auxilley units as spearmen, or light infantry, depending on the battle being fought.


Auxiliary Archers

 Slingers


Mercenary Cavalry. (these are actually republican Roman cavalry....)


Roman Cavalry



The full army, including the commanders and heros etc, which are individually based.

For more 10mm ancients see my Invasion of Britain page here

Cheers for looking,
Steve
