I apologize for the lack of posting. I was struck by a vicious man-cold (conveniently during a very busy week) and laid low.
I am feeling better now, but there hasn’t been much gaming-related work in the past week. I have managed to assemble the Warbases Late-Roman Church. It is a solid kit, but with many little parts dry-fitting is a must. Sadly, it must wait for finishing as I’m trying to get some terrain done for our upcoming Arnhem campaign.
I’m excited for when I do have time to turn to this kit. The interior begs for some interesting treatments. It is a little small on the interior, but if you were to build this to scale there would be no room on the table.
I think they’ve done a good job at balancing the look of the building and playability. There are bound to be assassins waiting in the shadowed arches… Warbases has a done a great job with this kit.
I’ve also been slowly building Warbases low wall for WW2 wargaming. These are great little walls. They are quick and simple to assemble. I did wrap them with some weak elastic bands to keep their form.
The walls are low enough for standing figures to fire over.
These walls will be given a textured finish in the coming days. I have about 4′ of these so they’ll be giving definition to fields and yards.
The last bit of work I managed to get done, was finishing up my Frostgrave Cultists. These figures I’m using as Red Cap goblins in my RPG. I’ve had them almost finished for some time so last night I did a last overview and then a thick dark wash. I’ve purposely left them a little plain, so once I’ve finished flocking their bases they’re done in my eyes.
The kit itself is pretty good, and provides a solid variety of options. I have used the undead parts to make some undead Saxons/Vikings, and have added shields from a variety of Warlord and Gripping Beasts.
Lastly, I’ve continued to add some blogs. Miles (at Lair of the Uber Geek) has recommended The Man Cave. Please take a look on the side as I slowly get the wargames blogs organized.
I’m hoping to get a fair bit done in the coming days (including the promised post from Lucius about his Brits) as work has settled down, and my man-cold has finally fled.
Happy Gaming!
