Villagers, Miscreants or…

Both?

This evening I managed a little bit of snipping and glueing. These are the four remaining miniatures from the peasant levy sprue.

They will be useful in either Traitor’s Toll or Five Leagues. Not exactly a huge amount, but more than I had this morning.

The sprue still has a load of arms, heads and weapon options remaining. I have some 3D printable WA miniatures so I will have to see if any bodies will be useful.

In other news I am up to 30 hours next week in my phased return to work and am heading off down to Manchester in a couple of weeks for some training.

Three of Three

Cor, look at me. Three posts in three days… Today I got a package in the post.

Well I wanted a few extra bits and bobs to bulk out the Traitor’s Toll types and also to make a force for Five Leagues from the Borderlands.

So I went for a sprue of Foot Knights, one of Foot Sergeants and another of Peasants. The Fourth sprue is extra weapons for the Sergeants. Mainly pole arms and pointy sticks.

As I was kicked off the Console I decided to build a selection of the knights…

One of these will become the leader of the Borderlands forces. When I rolled up the troops one of them had a full set of armour.

The only sort of issue I have with these is that the guards set are in plate armour while these are in mail.

Back into work for four hours tomorrow. I will try and do the foot sergeants when I get back.

He’s Off…

Well today I did another painting, had a go at some hills…

I then decided to start making some of the Wargames Atlantic miniatures…

These did make me swear a bit as although they are meant to be multi part/pose they were annoyingly fiddly and didn’t quite go together as well as I would have liked.

The heads don’t always fit the neck and there are huge hands that don’t seem to have an opposite partner. Maybe I should have checked out the assembly guides on the website.

So my phased return is 12 hours this week, based over 3 days.  Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Next week I am up to 15 hours so I am trying to get some hobby stuff in when I can.
