About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
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).

Challenge Entry #14

Swiss Skirmishers Update

Getting soaked to the skin twice yesterday combined with the mild cold I had and made it really bad, so I've been off work sick today. This meant that I managed to finish off the skirmishers a little earlier than expected and the photos have been sent off to Curt.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to paint up and base enough figures to take me past the magic 2000 points marker, but my final score will still be very impressive.


Challenge Entry #14 - 256 Swiss Pikemen

These were posted on Curt's blog a couple of days ago, so it's time to post them here. Enjoy!

    Great looking figures Tamsin, I sent off some pikemen to Curt earlier today, and I'm trying to finish a few thing tonight to send off later.

    What an impressive sight indeed. A forest of pikes. Of course it is at a 1:1 scale, and you have ten times more to come.

    Thanks folks!

    @ Ski - no cats, but if I did have any I'm sure you'd have heard the yowls by now! :)

    @ Ray - I saw your copy-catting. Really! Painting up 256 pikemen, knowing that I was too! *harrumph*

    @ Fran - much more impressive than Ray's! :)

    @ Nico - noooooooooo! I don't want to see any more pikemen, ever! Well, at least until I do the command stands for my Swiss army.

    @ Andrew - my hands can attest to the spikage ;)

    @ Michael - what is most impressive is that I actually finished them in time!

    @ Ian - I'm hoping I'll be OK tomorrow

    @ Urban Bunny - there's more Swiss to come

    @ Anne - *huge smile*
