"Kingmaker 2010"

Well only a few members made it up this month so only five players for the sheildwall games, and I managed to take some bad pics and get a drubbing with my Flemish, but the good company and lunch made up for my misery. Louis and Guy won both games so a draw after all for first place. After we finnished we played 1/72 scale Wings of War with Marks fast play WOW with dice, Marks Rohden Gothas were huge and his Se5s, Fe2s were excellent along with a great range of early german kit. Five of us played and it was great fun, Sam was excited to shot down Boyd in his fancy Albatross, and I got mark on a single dice roll of 100! All of us have promised to paint our hordes of unpainted plastic ww1 aircraft we have around the place and get them on the table in the next few months. I have added the few pictures that did work out below. I have on the painting desk at the moment more 20mm germans, more 28mm Sassanids and some successor Greeks and ancient German cavalry as roman allies.

NW Europe 1944

On the weekend we played a Rapid Fire 20mm game, and I didn't supply a single figure and only the telegraph poles and some entrenchments and wire so a light load to transport for once. I managed to take eighty odd pictures so i have selected a few of my favourites for veiwing.

Darkest Africa/ Pulp Warriors

These foundry figures were painted for our "up the Waa-Zooo" club pulp game for Feburary, I had such a great time painting these guys I almost bought a bunch of Marsi off foundry direct. I am not sure I will use these guys for some time so they will probaly make it onto the top shelf of the display cabinet.



I need to take some better photos of the remaining figures so I can get a group shot

cheers

Pulp Communist Zombies

Some pulp Communist Zombies sent to me by John Jenkins after I won the caption contest 4. I don't think they are available again as yet, I like the Zombie being choked by the balloon and the accordian player, they have sat on my painting desk for about six months before I just decided to finish them a few weeks ago for a pulp game!
