What's on your workbench?

I have the Foundry chap on the right squirrelled away somewhere. He always struck me as a perfect "Butcher" Cumberland.

Following on from my recent games of DBN I have recently purchased a copy of DBA 3.0. After digging around in my shed I found a box of painted and unpainted Celts. Just the ticket.

I have quickly rebased a few figures on 60 by 30mm bases.

First up a Warband (3WB)



And secondly a base of Slingers.



I am thinking doing Ancient Britons vs Caledonians. I found 3 unpainted Foundry 2 horse chariots, a bunch of Infantry and some cavalry as well as over 60 painted infantry and 8 cavalry. I should be able to build these armies without having to buy anything extra.

I was bored today. So with all these trendy hobby bods talking about Slap Chop I thought I'd give it a try. First guy I didn't dry brush enough and the contrast paints I used were a bit drab... But anyway... Here is Johann von Bürt clutching Volume 1 of the Synopsis of his epic Treatise on the Conduct of Cavalry on the Field of Battle.

Next guy I drybrushed more and used brighter colours...

And finally a Galloping Major Naval officer painted normally. Lovely figure but fucking huge compared to Crann Tara!

Lovely work with the "slapchop". The first guy is a dour looking chap so the subdued colours suit him perfectly!

The Galloping Major stuff is big and chunky but very nice, I have a load to paint up for the FIW as it fits well with the AW miniatures figures I already have finished.

if only the QRS was that concise.

I do like those chaps! Personally I'm in favour of the chunky looking sculpts as I find them easier to paint nowadays, it's an age thingie.

Here is Johann von Bürt clutching Volume 1 of the Synopsis of his epic Treatise on the Conduct of Cavalry on the Field of Battle.

Damn, I could have sworn it was the re-print of his other best-seller, "The Big Boys' Book of Basing". I'm sure I've got a 1st Edition somewhere......

[Count Belisarius]

1st Edition is quite rare. The subsequent 427 editions less so...

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Ah, but each has small, but vital alterations to certain base sizes that cannot be missed, or the whole system collapses.
