From PaulS: Wars of the Ghosties (110 points)

This week has been limited to finishing off a few bits and pieces for units or kits that were started last year, or earlier in this round.

When I first started the Wars of the Roses/Lion Rampant force last year, I intended to create two small forces. Unfortunately I never got around to creating the other force last year, though I did stick together the plastics. So we now have 12 foot knights for the Earl of Stafford.

There were complaints about too much grass on the ones last time around, so this year they come with some added mud and flowers. I have, however, just noticed that I forgot to edge the bases, so they look a bit scrappy. Dammit.


These four are some initial figures for the other foot units for the Stafford force.


After I posted the cowboy ghosts last month, moaning about how bad they were and I was grateful to have painted them... in typical foot/mouth style I found another 6 in the box with all the game cards. Doh! At least this time I'm done with them... until the missing sprues show up in the KS wave 2 that is :/


That is another 22 28mm figures for the tally. As I went past my original total weeks ago, I need to really up it to 1200 for the new aim. Co-incidentally, this is the 1200th post according to the post tally in the editor, so go team!

I also need to get back to Frostgrave related things as well as sorting out a little surprise.


Very nice work Paul. Isn't it always the way? You think you've finished a project, then a while later you find something you had forgotten to paint. That's 110 points towards your new target. I hate to break it to you, but this will be the 1197th post published, not the 1200th - so close, so close...

  1. Always such a good idea with single minis and movement trays that you slot them in. Now how to do this with square bases..........

    1. You can get trays for that too. Have a look at any lasercut terrain place. Mine were from War-bases.co.uk

  2. using the Perry Plastics for Lion Rampant is terrific. I really do like these, so much in fact that my hand is reaching for the wallet as I type this.

  3. Really? The blogger post count said 1200. Are you lot being sneaky and leaving a few unpublished just to confuse me? (it's easy to do) ;)

    1. There were two ahead that were for Wednesday and one from Lee that I published later - I publish in order of submission unless someone has submitted multiple posts, in which case I split them up

  4. Well done Paul. I love the armour and facial details on the WoR guys. I've painted a fair number of these guys, so I know them well. Like the ghost cowboys too - they remind me of an ancient Levis Jeans ad on TV....

  5. Nice! I really like the WotR knights. This reminds me that I need to build some more of these myself...
