From MartinC - Some Random Stuff Wot I Painted (245pts)

 Hope you are all well and cracking on with painting and the such like. I had a fun weekend fighting with the Dunsterforce, Lionel Dunsterville was killed by a direct hit from a light howitzer but my Hussars made a valiant charge and captured the Turkish commander, a machine gun and a howitzer. I also went shopping at a bring and buy and bought loads of things for the challenge, including all things Were.

I have also done some painting, with no general theme to it, just some stuff I fancied painting.



WW1 Arab Irregular Cavalry - can't remember the manufacturer but think it was Great War or Artizan or somebody else

These will double up on either side as Arabs or Turkish Irregulars


Next up 15 Russian Civil War Whites. These are Old Glory Boxer Rebellion Russians but uniform is the same. Plan to do lots of Back of Beyond gaming this year

Old Glory are terrible looking unpainted but paint up very well

In a similar vein, 4 Russian sailors


Finally 12 more Sci Fi troops, these are from the Stargrave Mercenaries box with a few hand cast bodies and legs by me - there are so many spare weapons and arms and heads that I can cast up 50 bodies and build them up in 1 box. Great value. Today's task is to find out which ones I cast.



Scores on the doors

31 x 28mm infantry = 155pts
9 x 28mm cav = 90

Total = 245pts


I think, for a "consideration", that I can keep it quiet from Nick at North Star that you have been recasting bodies and legs of his Stargrave figures!

What an eclectic collection of figures. Lovely stuff!

  1. Tamsin, just tell him I'm recycling flashing from figures and he shouldn't provide so many spares
