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).

WIP: 30YW Foot, the Green-Red and Red-Blue Regiments #1; Other 30YW bits

"a'tchoo! Hack! Wheeze!"

I've got a cold which has had me feeling grotty today. Mind you, I haven't let it stop me doing some work:

Prepped figures - now primed with gesso

30YW Foot - these have now received basecoats - Yellow Ochre for larger areas of red; Black for metalwork - and the flags have received their first (and hopefully only, touch-ups excepted) coat. Later on I'll dry-brush the metalwork with Oily Steel.

I'll be doing these two regiments at the same time - it's only 44 figures combined, so not that much effort. I'm not going to rush to get them finished. After these I'll do the command groups - I can't really field all those cuirassiers, reiters, dragoons, foot and artillery without generals to boss them around can I?

So, here's a couple of pics - not much to see at this point.

  1. Keep them coming Tamsin, once you get the officer types all sorted, how about a group shot?

  3. @ Ian - Hmmm, I may need to get a decent size grass mat to take a group shot of the whole army - they won't fit on the boards I've made up

    @ Rodger - thanks!
