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...
Terrain Touch Up
Quick update on some simple terrain touch-ups. My single terrain pieces looked flat, so I threw down some simple little clusters of bushes, and it helps bring them to life. Before After Before After...
End of the Undead
The Army of the Necromancer King is complete. Long unlive the King. Click for the full glory of the Necromancer King’s Army. The One Hour Wargame rules require at most six units on the field. Before each scenario, you roll to see what forces you have available. For medieval...
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...
One Hour Wargames Knights…ish
All this talk of D&D lately, nothing gets the creative juices flowing like an ongoing campaign. But there’s a full box of Heroics and Ros medieval figures(and terrain!) sitting on my shelf, untouched until I get this undead army completely painted, based, and all boxed up. I’ve been a...
Undead Foot Sloggers
The blog has been a bit quiet lately, what with all the painting going on around the house. Check it out – all the foot troops for the undead medieval army are done*. Not a bad start.Left to right: Levy, Men-At-Arms, Crossbowmen All of these figures are from Irregular Miniatures....
6mm – First Figures
Got the first couple of strips of 6mm skellies painted for the boy’s medieval force. He asked for a main color of purple, but wasn’t sure what secondary color would work best. This is a bit of a test strip to see if a second primary color is even...
