Warbands for Oldhammer Challenge!

Well , I got inspired by this:
http://theleadpile.blogspot.com/2014/01/how-do-you-start-oldhammer.html

and, in the interest of getting the most bang for my buck, I'm doing this!:

A true mixed bag. Gripping Beast mostly, w/ Foundry, Artizan, Renegade, Marauder and 99 cent Citadel. Saxons, Vikings, Norse-Gaels, Irish, and Romano-Brits playing the role of Irish, Norse and Scots in old East Albion! Doing a scenario based on the Tristan and Isolde story, either Warhammer 2nd ed. or some more skirmish friendly system, but all to help pave the way for my full Mcdeath campaign. Carboard buildings and moss-on-stick trees will set the scene;)

The boys are not even on their bases mostly, and will also complete my warbands for Dux Brit, 4 archers for Saxons, 4 for Brits. Bonus! Also a nice bard to help tell the tale of our adventure...

Very excited, to say the least! Great idea from whiskey priest to show just what this whole thing is about, that being mostly about having fun playing w/ yr damn toy soldiers!

The Return to Troy!

The first pic is the sum total of the project, including my giant WIP walls. I really hope this project will be my main focus in the coming year, although the impending arrival of Fistful of Kung-Fu might have something to say about that!
Happy New Year!

Eureka!

Well, now this time it actually works! Follow my blog, if you so desire. Thank you to my beautiful bride for figuring out the damn designer!
Photos for Troy tonight! And buy my stuff via LAF:

Back to Troy! The whole Oldhammer thing, LOTR, Mcdeath... I keep trying, and them lose interest, again and again.
But have you seen this:

The Trojan War makes me happy, and I actually paint stuff, and I have all the minis and rules I need, and beautiful custom made terrain. What the hell am I doing messing around w/ all this wargames-butterfly stuff? The goal is to stay focused and publish results til the beginning of the year.

Watch this space...

Hey Einstein!

I finally figured out how to let folks follow the blog!

So, in an effort to actually attract followers, I've added these pics of hot chicks wot Wargames nerds might like...

The road goes ever on and on...

I had these, then sold them, now buying again. The story of my miniatures collection:

This time, I'm holding on for dear life! LOTR mania continues...

Interested in all things old-school Lord of the Rings these days. If you don't like the Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit, you might not like the direction I'm going in...
