After the heat and the weather sapping all my energy I now find myself full of zim and zigour. In other words the Mojo has returned. I therefore completed a unit for Lion Rampant. Ok not from scratch but a re-paint. There are things still to change! Firstly I may replace the bannerman with an archer. I feel this is most important. As suchthe re-paint of an additional archer is underway. Secondly I may replace the musician. And I may not. In lion rampant all troops need to be within 3" of a unit leader. As such the musician if they act as the unit leader (with no abilities) it may clearly mark a place all troops need to be within 3 inches of. So at present I am in 2 minds. I have spare archers so it is at this stage not a cost issue.
I plan another archer unit in Black and white (Sable and Argent) as the next part of this sub project! They should I hope be finished either today or tomorrow. Yes I shall blog them soon. If the gods will it, it shall be done with this group and the additional bowman and the bannerman removed. That gives me time to think about the musician.
Aeronef: All the parts I messed up arrived yesterday afternoon. (which is quite normal delivery via the postman. And no complaints about that what so ever!) As such early this morning about 3;30am I fitted the small turrets. And here it is ready for a second prime!
Therefore I shall start the painting any-time now! I am still unsure of the colours but As it is Victorian Science Fiction I will not follow the painted version on the Brigade web site.
I will now keep this hidden until finished! So no more aeronef for a while.
Retail therapy: I have purchased 2 things wargames related. A box of Perry Plastics. These in time will bulk out my Lion Rampart force. Perhaps a unit of crossbows! I have also contacted a few members of the wargames club to see if they have any spare figure I could buy of them for this project. Maybe I will be lucky on the weekend. Time will tell.
The second thing I bought was from Dave Stone.at Wargames Terrain Workshop (
LINK ) A stand of Cactus. I must admit I am itching to start painting this. Now before I do I need to carry on building some terrain which due to the heat had slipped onto the back burner. However thanks to Dave, {THANKS DAVE} it is moving to the front rapidly. In fact I MAY do some tonight! I feel I have a fresh start and that makes a lot of difference! I have noticed that WTW also make Dinosaurs! While I do not need any for any planned project it is definitely something to ponder for the future!
That#s it for today. Spare time planed already to painting models making terrain and If I get the chance a Cak ay get made as well as It seems ages since I made a Cake!
All the best Clint
Yep that is unit no 2 finished. As you can see I have removed the banner bearers but retained the musicians. As you can see I have kept the Sable and Argent (black and White or Silver) colour scheme. Painted a drummer and 11 archers. As last time there is no purchase prise as they are all old figures. They are as I am sure you already know Bretonnian Archers from Games Workshop. But I shall be using them as general archers for Lion Rampant! So a swap of figures from a Fantasy game to a historical game. This switch for me sp far, has worked really well.
