I purchased some Old Glory Command minis a while back and they came with the same numbers and models. Originally I intended to make command bases out of a mounted officer and one each of the NCO, Standardbearer and musician. But have since decided to make command bases with extra cavalry models and ...

Hello I hope this post finds you well. Sorry about the delay but I am a bit shy about my painting skills. But I decided to bite the bullet and link this thread to my craptacular blog. There is pics of the Carthaginian spearmen and some WIP Numidian Javelinmen too, feel free to take a look, but don't...

No I actually did it preparing the olympic broadcasting center, it was extra ironic because I helped build the convention center it was in. It wasn't too bad of a boo-boo, just a painful bone bruise on the last joint of my middle finger, oddly enough right where the brush rests. But I finished that ...

Once again thanks everyone for their input, it really helped and it really paid off. My first unit is nearly done, I just have to wait for the command section to dry then I will give them their final touch ups and some ink and base the unit. All in all I was really impressed by the new Citadel washe...

Ok so its not even done drying, and I already love the new Citadel washes. I picked up some Devlan Mud and Ogryn flesh today, and applied the Ogryn flesh to my Carthaginian Spearmen today and think it might be the perfect finishing touch for my first attempt at painting a unit. Love it, can't wait t...

Canada !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about the delayed response, I work a fairly physical job and have been getting weird hours of late, so I have been too beat to respond until now. @ Phil: You are in the colonies so I will try and explain as simply as possible. Wink ?!?!?!?!?! - Dude I am from Canada, our public school system r...

Cool thanks for the fast reply Phil. Ok well lets assume that my painting skills are at the lower end of medium, I am not mixing colours and such, but wood varnish? Really? Wood varnish? I had to reread that to make sure I was reading that right. Ok well...... what kind and colour of wood varnish? D...

Will try and take some pics when I get my hands on a Camera that can focus small enough to render even the most blatant details at this scale. My only camera right now is my cellphone or my malfunctioning webcam.

Evening all I hope this post finds you well, the current weather situation in Southwest Canada is suprisingly mild and sunny, as such we shall celebrate that with dark beer. Anyway I am almost done painting up my first FOG unit, all that remains is the 3 chaps of the command section (ie: Officer, St...

@ deadtorius Dude, spent 1.5 of my hard earned Canadian pesos on some magnetic medium foot bases. Since the pack I purchased had an equal number of spearmen in Linen Cuirasses (team Cuirass) and spearmen in Tunics (team Tunic), I decided to split them up. Team Cuirass will be the first of 6 units of...

5 - 1 Canucks !!!!! We advance to 7th place in the west, in the act putting the hated Flames into 8th. Great game, Mason Raymond scored his first hat trick (3 goals), and his second was a hilarious mishap wherein he scored just inside the blueline and chased allstar Finnish goalie Mikka Kiprusoff ou...

Sorry my bad, that should have read 27 bases not BGs, bit hungover, buddies Birthday last night. He turned 30 we tried to kill him with booze. Here's how my math should have worked. Caetrati are usually 6-8 per BG and 12-110 bases, with the upgrade they become 4-6 per BG with the bases requirements ...

So your beloved Vancouver Canucks wrapped up their 8 game home stand 6 and 2 last night. Thankfully they seem to have finally taken a step towards breaking there despairing habit of destroying the better teams in the league (LA kings, Washington Capitals) and losing to the bottom feeders (St Louis B...

The Sertorius list gives me heart palpitations, 27 BGs of Drilled Caetrati 4 packs is both terrifying and enticing.

@ Blathergut

do you mean the upgraded caetratri in the Sertorius' list?

Can't see how else you can field drilled Scutarii, aside from the Late Carthaginian list, which doesn't allow 4 packs.

Did I just turn into "That guy" by asking that? Hahaha

Happy Boxing day.

@ Cerberias I absolutely intend to get this list up to 800 pts and likely more so that I can jump between early and late Carthage, and I also intend to build 3 6 packs of African vetern spearmen so that I can play as Hannibal at any point in his career. @ Blathergut, yeah I couldn't agree more with ...

Ok now that I have a better idea of how to move my army (or rather both BGs haha), and am making decent enough progress painting them up, I scribbled together a list that I think I will try to make my first build. It should leave me with enough extra stuff to expand the army later as well, so who kn...

Naw just give me a stick, a jersey, a helmet and some skates and point me at em.....

Totally singing in the shower eh?

Think it will stop me?
