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).

(Not Quite) Finished: 28mm WW2 Aussie Jungle Fighters #6



And another batch is finished. Phew! Almost there now. The only problem is that I've started to run out of space in the foam figure trays. I've got room left for another 8-figure batch, but I'll need to order some more before  painting any more batches.

However, this batch and the next will ensure that I have a full platoon plus support options for Chain of Command.

Senior Leader




This chap is the Major Lumley figure from The Assault Group, which was a freebie add-on as my recent order was over £39. I'll probably be using him as an adjutant or maybe as a grizzled Sergeant Major for Chain of Command.


2" Mortar Team




These are part of my recent order from Wartime Miniatures. They looked quite nice as bare metal, but once I started painting them I became less impressed with the sculpting. One of the details that bugged me was that they appear to be wearing the illegitimate offspring of gaiters and puttees. Hopefully the Independent Company chaps won't suffer the same issues.


Tommy Gunners





The figure on the left is from The Assault Group, the one on the right from Wargames Foundry. Both are from their Chindit ranges.


Rifleman and Medic





The rifleman is a Chindit from The Assault Group; the medic is from Wartime Miniatures.


Flamethrower





This is a Eureka figure and I think it's the last one from the order I collected at Salute.


I've just started the next batch, which should be finished mid-week. I've also finished painting the packs, pouches and weapons I primed last week.

  5. I look forward to seeing the finished force as so far every unit you have turned out has been excellent.
