Following our yearly excursion to WMMS our most local war-games show, I have fallen prey to the cult of the new & taken to painting a few of my purchases from said show:
The first of my Lion Rampant retinue courtesy of Claymore Castings. I bought 6 packs of their Highlander/ Islemen packs from their Medieval range & very nice they are too, similar in size to Perry miniatures but almost flash free & very cleanly cast.
I also purchased the Lion Rampant rulebook because this system seems to offer a fairly quick game with reasonable (60 ish figures) forces, something I need to strive toward with my busy work schedule.
Also purchased was a facsimile copy of an Italian fencing manual circa 1640. European martial arts are another of my interests which I sadly get very little time to practise.

Never got to do anything quite this violent at sixth form fencing club, though a friend & I did used to fight outside of said environs with sharp steel weapons & improvised armour. Could so easily have ended in tears ( see fig. a above).
That's a nice figure
ReplyDeleteA very impressive warlord...! Cheers! :D
ReplyDeleteNice work on the Claymore figure, HGA. That is a fine range. I'd love to see pictures of your fencing too!
ReplyDeleteCheers Dean, Claymore figures are ace as you would expect from the hands of Paul Hicks. I will try to post some live action sparring stuff, ifI can find any-one daft enough to pair up with.
DeleteRegards HGA.
Great job on this Lord!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lad's, My first ever foray into mediaevals after 30 odd years of wargaming. You will note I have avoided any fiddly heraldry, this is yet to come.
ReplyDeleteRgds HGA.
