Two more English Civil War units leave the painting table. I am now about a quarter of they way through the figures I have waiting to be painted.

| A unit of Foot mostly of Hinchliffe figures, but some where along the way I picked up the odd Minifig figure which makes it way into the unit. |

| Dragoon unit |
Over the weekend I played a couple of small SciFi games of Space Marines vs. Tyranids to try out some rule ideas.

| A trial game in progress. |
I was going to write up the rule mechanisms which did not get rejected over the weekend, but a surprise package arrived today (Monday) from
Wargame Hermit: Solo Wargaming. This was amazingly generous gift containing WW1 and WW2 plastic figures from a range of manufacturers and a few more plastic Spencer Smith Seven Years War (SYW) figures.

The SYW figures will help add a few more units to my French Indian War forces. I have yet to work may way through the full contents, but a quick rummage through found some WW2 British and Germans to add to my WW2 forces. The remaining figures I plan to create a couple of hypothetical inter-war armies.
Splendid units, well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeletePeter- good progress with your ECW Regiments - well done! Gifts of a box of assorted figures is certainly something that does not happen every day- very generous and thoughtful...you can add to your existing collections too. My Mate gave me some 'Marsh' terrain pieces long ago- they finally come into use recently with much thanks. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is slow and steady progress, but I am keeping up with my goal of one unit per week. While I progress with my ECW I can ponder my next project with the contents of the wonderful gift.
DeleteGood progress on your ECW project and a very generous gift from your benefactor!
ReplyDeleteThank you and it was a wonderful gift.
DeleteThis is why I enjoy blogs so much, much more positive than some of the alternative place to visit.
ReplyDeleteQuite right, Norm!
DeleteThe generosity of fellow wargame bloggers in thoughts, ideas and deeds.
DeleteComing along very nicely, love the Hinchliffe figures. And what a generous gift!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am enjoying painting these figures. The detail on figures is sufficiently pronounced to make painting easier and less fiddly.
