Looks like I'm going to be busy!

I spent a most enjoyable hour this morning opening up and exploring the contents of the three large boxes of figures that arrived last week from 'Old John' for me to paint. As you can see there is lots of variety and will be broken down into monthly lots in accordance with John's preference. Lists and reference material was also included which certainly helps me to organise and plan. There was also a couple of  N Gauge model wagons for my planned model railway shunting layout. Cheers John.

In addition to working on 40 more mounted Indians and another troop of 7th cavalry I have continued to add more bits for my Battle Cry project including some buildings from Battlescale, more 10mm circular casualty markers and some Victory Token markers using 20mm square MDF with suitable printed flags glued on and varnished.

Lighter horses for this batch.

Warlord Epic 'Iron Brigade' the hunt continues! 

I have been searching endlessly online for a box of these figures which are no longer available from  Warlord. These were metal additions to the basic range and I would love to be able to add some to my project. Aside from Iron Brigade they would also be perfect for early war units for both sides. I have trawled eBay, Amazon and every online retailer I can think of or find but sold out everywhere. I have contacted Warlord and put out an appeal on the Epic FB groups. I may have around 10 strips (5 per strip) coming my way from a gamer in Copenhagen who offered to send me his spares so I'm keeping my fingers crossed :) Meantime I have been looking into 3D printed figures and have ordered a test pack of the figures below printed to 13,5mm scale, if they scale up well then I will happily spend time working them into 10 figure strips by trimming arms etc. We shall see how things go.
