Added a German army to the 15mm Bolt Action collection, enough models and vehicles for a balanced list. Next to decide which campaign book to play first.
Here's my complete #BoltAction #15mm Soviet army. I love how easy it is to build and paint in 15 mm, I fully got converted to the scale now. (1/2)
More #15mm reinforcements for #BoltAction. Amazing how quick these are done, I started this project 5 days ago and now I have a full Bolt Action army painted. This scale is seriously underrated.
Three toots in a day! Prepped the next 16 Forged in Battle Pikemen. May not get them painted until post holiday but hopefully I can prime then tomorrow.
And Henry Hyde's new book arrived today as well. Had the PDF for a week but wanted the hardback. Some nice illustrations and a great insight into running an Imagination campaign. Plus there are pictures of me and my toys...
Don't think Henry has a Mastodon account so can't tag him...

Slight mojo resurgence... A good session yesterday on the next batch of pikemen. Remaining ones I need arrived from Westwind today as well...
#wargaming #miniaturepainting #historicalwargaming #15mm
Well... still struggling to get the mojo going but after wasting most of the day listening to depressing music (Swans, Jarboe) I dragged my arse up to the attic and made a start on the first lot of the next pike block. Still a few bits to do but nearly there...

Finally finished the basing on the 15mm Forged in Battle Pikemen. All painted by a mate over three years. It was worth the wait. I need to add a few more bases and expand on some others I already have. And then work out what other units to add to make whatever final 'Successor' army I decide upon...
#wargaming #15mm #miniaturepainting #ancients
Almost gave up again but took today off work and made some good progress on the pikemen basing. And have prepped a few more. I'm 8 figures short to do the full 32 figure block. Don't really want to buy another pack of 24 so just 16 and some command for now.
#wargaming #15mm #miniaturepainting #ancients
Today has been a day of shitty stuff at work (not my fault...) but I did manage to stick the rest of the 15mm Pikemen to bases and repaint the cloaks on the command to make each group different.
No more tonight. Beer and wine say he no paint...
#wargaming #15mm #miniaturepainting #ancients
No proper updates for a while. Life has been complicated as we've had a load of building work done. Before and after shots below. Four weeks with no kitchen was hell...
Consequently hobby was non existent and even though work finished a month ago I still can't face a brush. However, 3 years ago I sent a load of 15mm Pikemen to a friend to paint. They finally arrived on Thursday! And I've made a start on basing them. Hopefully mojo will return.

Y'all I need more sci-fi miniature wargaming blogs to add to my RSS reader. Cool models, battle reports, scenery, any scale (though bonus points for sub-28mm).
Links please. Doesn't have to be yours.

@mr_whateley - Bloodbowl #PrintingMinis, great account to follow, but gander at the #15mm #Eldar stuff if you need any convincing.

Another game of our WW2 variant of "The Men Who Would Be Kings" skirmish rules. I had been hurriedly painting Soviets for what would be a 1939 Winter War scenario. Two Soviet players, including me, vs. 2 Finns. Soviet aim was to sweep the board, which was mostly light woods with heavy forest on some hills. We didn't come close. My entire force was wiped out, except for one section which had a duff leader and failed to move much during the game. #wargaming #15mm
I've been painting and now have a decent 15mm Soviet WW2 force. At 1:1 scale it's 4 rifle platoons, 2-3 SMG platoons, lots of LMG and leaders, 2 HMG, 2 Mortars, 2 field guns, 7 assorted tanks, and one armour car with another due soon. #wargaming #15mm
Finished 15mm Eldar Farseer. Sculpted by Lord Chronos, printed by @decimo.
Sorry for the gif, I had to do it.

Having fun with the #WarhammerDay #Warhammerfest new releases?
I'm having a great time with my resin printed #Eldar, sculpted by independent artists outside the Games Corporation. Infinitely cheaper, more cute and strangely satisfying to paint.
In the current economic crisis scenario I think it's specially on these "trademark days" when we should reflect on our hyper-consumer behaviour and the sustainability of it all.

Miniature painters/collectors! Where are the minis folks at?
I'm a demo-team member for Ral Partha Legacy, so 25mm old-school (and newly release Tom Meier) figures are my jam.
Although I'm starting to really dig 15mm for RPG play alongside my 15mm wargaming.
(please reboost if you'd be so kind? tyvm!)

I may have just spent the evening modding Fat Dragon Games dungeon tile stls to make specific low wall pieces to fit my Moathouse dungeon plans.
What? I know... a week ago, I was asking for 3d file mod help. Well... teach someone to fish and well... they start hacking all sorts of crazy things together.
Printing starts tomorrow...
@belisarius rebasing…what a nightmare. My #15mm #napoleonics I started rebasing 2 by 2 on thin metal bases, which I could place on magnetic sabots of the desired size.
