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).

WIP: Lorraine Knights #4; WIP: Swiss Handgunners #1

I didn't fancy doing anything too complex this evening, so I just finished off the basics on the horses - bridles, leg markings, ground colour on bases. I also painted the manes and tails of a few of the chestnut horses in a lighter shade.

As I'm going to need them for my competition game on Thursday and want them at least part painted, I've made a start on the Swiss handgunners. Yesterday I transferred them from painting sticks to bases. This evening I have done black basecoat for armoured areas and yellow ochre basecoat for clothing.

I'll be making a start on the detailing on the knights tomorrow evening - heraldic motifs, reins etc. I'll also finish off painting the trumpeter's clothing.

Well, here are the pics:

    Coming on nicely, what rule system will you base them for?
