Welcome to Peter

Welcome to Peter. He has some lovely pictures of Teutonic knights, with great flags on his blog here. He says the figures are by Italeri, so presumably they are 1/72nd. I must admit that I'm always amazed when I see work like this in that scale - I think I'll stick to 25/28mm for ancients and medievals, myself. I know my limitations!

Welcome to Scullmeister

Scullmeister has just joined - thanks for looking! You've probably noticed that it's mostly 25mm Romans here at the moment. That was unintentional - I started doing the blog thing when one of our club members said it was effectively a way to get a free webiste. It has more or less taken shape depending on my current main interests, and just now that means Republican Romans. I blame the Society of Ancients for making last year's big game Zama. I am hoping to complete the army by the summer, which will give me pretty much anything I need for a consular army for the Punic Wars period. Well, the Romans and Latins anyway...

Cheers!
Paul

On the Painting Tray: March 2011

In February I finished the Latin cavalry for my 25mm Republican Roman army. This month, the plan is to add to the Velites. I want to have enough figures to run large scale games based on a full consular army. If I can produce 24 Velites this month and the same again in April, I'll be happy. I want to have 144 figures per legion, plus the command figures and the 48 cavalry. I also have a hankering to paint some lighter horse as scouts. Crusader make some nice unarmoured Roman cavalry that should do the trick, but that's for the medium term.
