A gaming, painting & modelling blog about two empire forces clashing, to finish a painted force of 2ooo points by summer.

a job of epic proportions


A great thing about campaigns and blogs is that they encourage you to do some serious bad-ass painting on your miniatures, which normally tend avoid the soft touch of brush like it was coated with battery acid. Actually it's just in my head, but I have a strict dogma for dealing with troubling situations in my life, and it includes a lot of responsibility dodging.

I've been painting in short seasons, but now's the time to get serious. I can do a footman in an hour, which is a fairly good pace. Having nearly 1000p at the ready, only a couple of painted figures I had quickly assembled a ready 300-point skirmish force for Jami to deal with:

Captain Grigorus (50) 60
- Full plate (8)
- Shield (2)

Cuthroats 90
5 Swordmen (30)
5 Swordmen (30)
5 Swordmen (30)

Foundry guard 145
5 Handgunners (40)
5 Handgunners (40)
5 Handgunners (40)
- Marksman (5)
- Hochland long rifle (20)

295

No specific tactics, really. I'm a bit worried that he might swamp me with more infantry than I can shoot, but I'm hoping scare his hero away with the long rifle to buy me time.

More pics of my ready army can be found here.
