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).

Wednesday Workbench 12 January 2022

 


In my post on Monday I did mention that I'd just started work on quite a lot of 15mm figures. In fact, 139 of them (although as they are from Lancashire Games older ranges, I expect a few casualties before they are based - weak ankles and hand/weapon joins).

This lot are ancient Germans to beef up my army to ADLG size.


I'm very nearly finished with the painting - just leather details, flesh highlights and metallic details to go before a final wash and then varnishing. 

There is a hitch that might see them not submitted for Sunday - I forgot that I was out of the size of bases that I need for them. As Tiny Tin Troops are no longer selling pre-magnetised bases, I placed an order with Warbases. I then realised I am also out of self-adhesive magnetic sheet, so I ordered a pack of that along with a pack of self-adhesive flexo-metal to line storage boxes.

The magnetic sheet and flexo-metal have arrived. I'm hopeful that the Warbases order will arrive before the weekend.
