About Me

A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

WIP: First Vikings #5; WIP: 2nd Vikings #2

Well, I've managed to get a reasonable amount done today on both batches of vikings.

Batch 1 (Armoured)

  • Basecoats of hair
  • Highlights of hair (possibly too heavy in places, hopefully washes will tone it down)


Still to do:

Warriors - detailing, drybrush/highlights, add shields, Klear/ink coat, basing
Warlords - a lot more detailing, careful highlighting & shading, Klear/ink coat, basing







Batch 2

  • Primed
  • Weapons and helmets dry-brushed with Gunmetal Grey
  • Spear shafts and axe handles painted
  • Leather jerkins painted
  • Flesh painted


Tomorrow I'll try to get the following done:

  • Boots
  • Breeches
  • Tunics
  • Belts and scabbards
  • Hair (basecoat and highlight) if I have time

    Looking very nice Tamsin. Love the grey haired dude, I bet he has seen a fair bit of action.

    Cheers guys!

    @ Rodger - There are a few grey-beards in that bunch. They must be exceptionally tough or lucky to have survived long enough to go grey. Let's hope that they live up to that on the battlefield! :)
