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).

Saturday Workbench

I had a fairly busy afternoon today. As I'd managed to finish prepping all the Nubians (apart from the two packs of archers I'm still waiting for) I decided to glue them onto painting sticks. As my plan is to prime them with two different browns as a base, I divided all the figure poses into two lots before gluing onto sticks. I also managed to get them primed - half with German Red Brown, half with Leather Brown. When I go to paint them, I'll probably pre-highlight from a high angle using a pale brown before airbrushing on a thin coat of camo black brown.

Anyway, here are some pics:


German Dark Red primer

Leather Brown primer



I also primed the Mongol reinforcements:


Medium cavalry and baggage camp bits

Heavy impact cavalry and foot


I just need to give the metal areas a black basecoat, then they can be put away until the Challenge.


I also basecoated the bases for the Nubians, just to fill in time between bouts of priming.


Tomorrow, once my chores and a bit of shopping are done, I'll make a start on the Korean crossbowmen.

  1. That's a lot of lead ready to go. I have been up since 3.30 so have worked a good chunk through my SYW grenadiers, will pay for it later when at work :-(
