From Brendon W - Red and Black and Lightning Teams (235 points)

4 x 28mm Mounted, and 38 x 28mm foot. All Plastic.
First is reinforcements for my Red and Black (Bacon And Beer!) army. All Perry Miniatures.
Two musicians are re-based so not included for points. The infantry are 'double ups' on 25mm round bases. These bases fit onto my universal unit trays and making 'double ups' helps thicken the units up.
Two horsemen are on 50mm square bases while the other two are 25x50mm bases.

Red and the Black are recruiting now! Have you got what it takes? A desire to eat bacon and drink beer?
4 Gunners and 5 Halberds

Light Lancers




17 Pikemen


In Kings of War the Varangur army have access to a unit option that is a unique War Machine. Three evil Wizards/Shamen who blast the opposition with Lightning spells. I built these from Gripping Beast Arab plastics and other parts including GW chaos heads and staff toppers. Some arms are FireForge Mongols. These have been sitting in my unpainted section for a while so I am very happy to get them painted at long last. No official miniatures exist for this unit which is great as the imagination can go crazy with the brief description of the unit.

6 Varangur Wizards




I am kind of medium happy with the photos. They don't really capture the painting at its best or most accurate but glad to have created my first submission.
Cheers from Brendon

A very respectable opening salvo, Brendon.

So good to see the return of the mighty forces of Bacon and Beer, whose stentorian war cry (well, 'war belch', actually) has rung across the battlefields of the AHPC for many years now!

Basing is top notch as always, so I'm throwing in an extra few points for the groundwork.

The Varangur Wizards are suitably forbidding as well, though I can't help wondering if their magic incantation to call down the lightning is "Ni!"

  9. Great work. I like the '2 models, 1 base' thing you've done, I guess it helps that Perrys minis are fairly skinny. Nice work on the war machines too.
