Pictures

First off the Tuetonics as they appeared in the tournament (Well almost, minus the javelin skirmishers and in with my proxy bowmen instead. and my unfinished unit of knights back left) as I may have said still some basing and highlights to get done to finish them off to satisfaction.

And finally my vikings as they are at the moment, just because they were sitting out on the table at the time.

Starting Point.

Well here's some bad pics of where I'm starting out with my Tuetonics.

Armoured infantry (Military Order Sergeants) are Fireforge Foot Sergeants, so are the crossbowmen (Military Order Crossbowmen). Front right and left with a dodgy Pavise from a Tombking.

Archers (Livonian Foot Skirmishers) and semi painted knights are Bretonians (Nobles and German Mercenaries)

Horse archers (Livonian Horse Archers) are some really old Grenadier elves.

Mounted Sergeants (Turcopoles) and the Teutonic Knights (as is) are the other ones from Fireforge with several still to be made up. However I really need to get my hands on 2 skirmish bases of Livonian Javelins t omake the force I want to try and field, then see how it all works out.

Next up Vikings and Tuetonics

Well now that I'm back from my little trip away for one of my other hobbies (IVFDF) it's time to get ready for the Viking exhibition on Sunday (After the Scotland vs Wales game on Saturday) I have my how to paint a model in stages done. Just got a few little bits to finish to round that off so that I have some proper finished off models to display as well. Then it's buckets of dice, Vikings and Scots.

Pics to come for both.

Next up is my Tuetonics, I play Impetus already though generally with Dax's models. I got my teutonics mostly assembled now and the undercoating has started, there is a tournament at the club in April which is my goal to get everything ready for. Though I may need to borrow some skirmishers as I don't have anything suitable in my own colelction for them yet. I'm slotting in my Bretonians on some makeshift sabots to make do for nobles and German mercenaries, and they don't look too out of place thankfully.

Some make shift Pavises will also need to be made probably, but I have some old Tombking shields I can stick on a base for now.

Agian pics will come once I have things a little bit better organised.

Vapnartak

Well this weekend was Vapnartak, the club went down in force in a bus and although I could have done without the 5am start it was a good day out.

Lots of games on show, pretty much all 28mm, I think I saw a FoW game and teh 15mm Critical mass but that was it for other scales. Had another go of Saga, which I still enjoyed, I think I need to finish off my Vikings and get going with that one.

There were purchases a plenty though, mostly finishing off armies which I'm quite pleased about.

15mm ACW standard bearers, All I need to finish off the models I currently have.

10mm Saracen Infantry for the missus, now that I have the mix of models I can start thinking about basing that lot for painting.

A 1/144 scale ME109 to complete my BKC Germans, it'll proxy in for whatever aircraft I'm using on the few occasions they do get used.

A small horde of bases for the above and some Impetus sabots for the next purchase and a new army, period etc.

Teutonics from Fireforge Games, 3 boxes to be used for Impetus. I think that should give me the main core of troops that I need as I got the Teutonic Cavalry, Mounted Sergeants and foot Sergeants. That should give me 7 Cavalry bases, (3 heavy, 4 medium/light) and 6 infantry bases, (More if I shift my crossbowmen down to one rank to start with.)

So all in all, a good haul. I'm still going to finish off my WW2 Germans first I think, they're all tanks, transports and artillery pretty much, so easy enough to paint.
