Medieval Knights – The Good Guys

This post sure was a long time coming.  Four stands of 6mm medieval knights ready to roll for a game of Neil Thomas’ One Hour Wargames.  These are all Heroics and Ros figures mounted on basswood bases three inches wide by two inches deep.  These stands each have one bannerman...

Medieval Comparison Shot

One of the little challenges for old men like me who game with little men like these 6mm Heroics and Ros figures is finding a way to make it obvious from a distance which little horde is which.  One of my helpful solutions is to base the individual figures...

Last Medieval Footies

Don’t think I mentioned yet that this whole army is built from the fine medieval range of Heroics and Ros.  Today’s offering is the poorly armed rabble called up from every mudhole village, handed a sharp stick, and pointed at the enemy.  What these levies lack in courage and...

More Medieval Troops – Archers to the Fore

The second couple of foot troops for my matched medieval armies is the shooter types.  Almost fifty of the little buggers on each stand makes for a fine visual show.  It might not be enough to blacken the skies, but it looks so much better than an army with...

Shifting Gears – Medieval Army Dismounted Knights

With things slowing down at work, there’s finally enough time to start showing off the second Medieval army for One Hour Wargames. First up, the dismounted knights.  Close ranked, heavily armed and armored, well drilled shock troops....

Medieval Update

Completing a full set of terrain and matched armies for use with OHW is the big goal for 2015.  So far the terrain is about half done, and the armies are half done.  This weekend, the second army got bumped up a few slots on the all-too-long to-do list....

Linear Bust

Finally got around to pulling the caulk based streams and rivers out of the box where they have languished the last few months. They tore. Big time. Not quite sure what went wrong.  Either the caulk was too thin, or you’re not supposed to try to separate the caulk...

Linear Features, Step One

Before we kick off the second matched army for Neil Thomas’ One Hour Wargames, let’s take a look at the roads and rivers.  Staples of wargame terrain, I’ve decided to give the old “acrylic caulk smeared flat and painted to suit” trick a shot.  After careful study of Neil...

Last Knight, In The Bushes…

It is (almost) done.  The undead army for use with Neil Thomas’ One Hour Wargames rules now has 10 full painted units and can take the field in any scenario.  The last two units of knights just need a protective coat and they can take to the box until...

Second Knights – Things Get Heavy

This second unit of knights for the Army of the Necromancer King is actually his elite mounted shock troops.  The heaviest horses, the best trained knights, and led by the fearsome Horned General, it will play a role in every battle fought by the evil forces of undeath. This...
