Long time between posts

Recently I have been building some Perry plastics for my Red & Black army. I managed to get a good deal via facebook from someones collection which included a box of Infantry. I was mostly after the stack of mounted Knights in the deal. I put the infantry to one side for a long time until I decided I can use them to make some 'double ups'. 'Double ups' help make my unit trays look a little more fuller.

I have not been very active in the wargaming hobby for a while. The lack of posts here is a reflection of that. I have been active in the physical sense though. During late September 2016 I decided to join the Gym life again. At various times in my life I have joined Gyms.
I found myself getting more and more uncomfortable with weight gain and after a holiday which saw me active in the outback I decided I wasn't fit enough to enjoy it as much as I could. A year on and September 2017 sees me signing on for another years membership. My weight has declined from around 126kgs to 91kgs and I feel so much better for it. Of course it meant cutting back on hobby time but I have a few projects planned so watch this space.

Cheers and thanks for stopping by.

Six Red and Black Light Cavalry

New recruits for the nation that values Beer and Bacon above all that glitters. Light Cavalry from Perry Miniatures to defend the kingdoms high carb virtues.

These detailed figures take me longer than most at the same scale to complete but I was lucky enough to find some more time available to me the past week. Time seems to be in short supply for this hobby for me at the moment. But that's the way it rolls sometimes. 

Hope it's all been good in your part of the world. Here we saw a cyclone form nearby but only got to Category 1 and passed us by. Cyclone Blanche which had people humming the 'Golden Girls' theme. Those old enough to remember anyway.

Anyway cheers from here and I hope my dodgy photos look OK on whatever device you are viewing them on.

Knights Horde

My first submission for this years Painting Challenge and a bonus Theme round at that.
The Theme was 'Armour'.

1 x Horde of Perry Miniatures Knights. 17 all up but I painted 18. I decided that 18 wasn't required after gluing them on one by one on the Mantic plastic tray.  I did some base filling gradually from the center out after I glued in 3 or 4. It wasn't without challenge trying to get between horses with flock and paint but I managed not to bend/break and lances or have any disasters.

Lances may have only been painted for tournaments but that's how I have painted all previous Knights for this army of Beer and Bacon defenders.

I may add a banner to the rear rank in the future. At writing this I have a lot more in the production line but I will need to do something different as painting endless armour is getting a bit same, same.

Cheers from Brendon
