About Me

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).

I decided to spend some time this morning adding tufts to the bases of all the Aussies that I've painted so far. And then to take a bunch of photos of them all. So, here you are - a bit of a photo dump!

  18. Blimey, Tamsin P.

    I reckon they must be some of nicest figures in your ever expanding collection.

    I'm struggling to get anything of note completed at present - all power to your elbow.

    @ James - thanks! I definitely put a lot of effort into these, possibly more than was warranted [I think it was 4+ levels of highlighting for (almost) every element - cripes!] :)

  21. An amazing and beautiful force; I wish I could focus on one force like you.

    And the huts, the huts are the best painted huts I've ever seen.
