This will be a rather random set of mini's for this week's submission - both in terms of scales as well as periods covered. Let's Start with the big boys first:
These mini's are 28mm plastic models from Fireforge Miniatures and were a joy to both assemble and paint. About 90% of the painting was done using the Army Painter speedpaints which I am growing very fond of.
Next up are 48 10mm "Heavy" Orcs which I had 3D printed by a friend
Lastly - an initial down payment on my "Big Project" for the year - the Russo-Japanese War in 10mm. These are the new 10mm RJW line from Pendraken and they are superb figures.
There are 18 bases of Japanese Infantry, 10 cav and 4 machine gun bases - this is a little over a division and a half
Well that's all for this submission, lets figure of the final tally:
12 28mm cavalry = 120 points
64 10+mm Orcs = 64 points
80 10-mm Dwarves = 80 points
72 10mm Japanese Infantry and 8MG crewman + machine guns = 80 92 points
20 10mm Japanese Cavalry = 40 points 60 points
Grand Total: 384 Points
Ha, I was starting to wonder where you were, Miles. Almost 250 figures in one go, that's more like you! And great figures they are too. All are quite great, from the Byzantines through the orks to the little dwarves with their distinctive shields, but I really like your RJW figures. Looking forward to seeing (much) more from them in the future!
You have short-changed yourself a little as 10mm cavalry are 3 points, not 2, and then here are the 4 crew-served weapons at 3 points each for a total of 416 points!
Ah, one minor quibble: please remember to lay-out and resize your photos...

Lots of great work here. I don't envey your to do list!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Miles. Are those Fireforge figures not a gem? I love them, and will be trying to add more to my own Byzantine collection.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Fireforge hard plastic figures - they really are a pleasure to both assemble and paint. However, I cant say the same of their resin-cast (fine cast or whatever name) figures - the ones that come in a white material. I bought some of their Varangian Guard and a mounted standing Byzantine general and the figures are truly awful - so bad I tossed them they are just unusable in my limited skill hands
DeleteThere's the megalomaniac Miles we were expecting. Great stuff all around, but the Byzantines are my faves. Can you play with the lighting so that we can get a better look at things for your next post, you are straining my aged eyes.
ReplyDeleteI tried using a cheap photo booth from Amazon. Perhaps ti was too cheap!
DeleteMiles is now firing on all his cylinders! Great work my friend. I love the horse archers, but I'm also a big fan of your 10mm fantasy entries too. 10mm is such a terrific scale to work in for big armies. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good old Miles Points Bomb 💣 to get your Tuesday moving !
ReplyDeleteGo Miles, love the array of minis so good you'll be on the top of the leader board before you know it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very impressive & diverse paint "bomb" for this week.
ReplyDeleteA great selection of minis, I'm looking forwards to more of your RJW project.
ReplyDeleteGood work, Miles!
ReplyDeleteImpressive production here Miles, great work!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Great 10mm figures
ReplyDeleteGreat work Miles and good luck with the 2k figures, we’ll be cheering you on.
ReplyDeleteLovely work Miles
