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).

15mm Swiss Commanders & Secret Projects

And they are done! So, that's my medieval Swiss army completed (apart from the camp) at least until I decide to order some more halberdiers (no more pikes though - I've got quite enough of those chappies, thank you!).

As these are going to be used for FoG, I've done 7 command stands - 4 troop commanders, 2 field commanders and 1 inspired commander.

So, here are some pics.


All 7 stands together:

The 4 Troop Commanders:


The 2 Field Commanders:


The Inspired Commander:



I haven't done the flags yet - I'll be doing a big flagging session this weekend.



Secret Projects

I now have all the bits and pieces for these. The correct item from the company that sent me the wrong one last week arrived today, along with a couple of freebie bits which will actually go very well with it and should add something extra to the scene. The company's customer service was very good - quick, courteous and helpful. Unfortunately I can't say any more right now as it could give people an idea of what one of the secret projects is.

All will be revealed at Salute for those who are there or later that day for those who can't make it.

  11. Fabulous Tamsin, I always impressed at the consistency of your work - I think I would have given up and gone to the pub hours ago! As for the secret project, all very mysterious.

  16. @ Michael - my background is as a lab tech so consistency is something that comes naturally to me :)

    @ sidney - I'm looking forward to meeting so many people at Salute and you are certainly one of them.

    @ Kev - I think a flagon session is much more desirable!

    @ Rodger - I'm pleased with how the basing has come out with these, combining the two types of stoniness of the various troops in the army.

    @ Donogh - once they are flagged up (command stands and pike blocks) I'll have to arrange a game at the club and do a photo-shoot of the army before setting up.
