Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

WIP: Saga Rus Princes

I've had to drop all projects recently to work on my Rus Princes for Saga. I am running a Saga tournament (don't ask how I ended up doing it) at CincyCon on 5th March 2016. Of course, as everything is with me, it's last minute let's get this done time. So besides trying to get boards, terrain, and other organizational stuff ready, I've got to paint the army I want to take. It's been sitting on my shelf for two years and I thought I'd just whip it out in a week. Wrong! We are talking me here. Thank god for my friends helping me out or I'd probably not be able to get all this done in time.

Well the main reason for this post is to show the work in progress for my war band. I've got 9 cav, 9 riders, and 1 foot guy ready. Not finished as I still have to place spears, shields, and bow cases (which are going to be a pain as I have to pin them in, and of course there are no holes on figure) but before I do that I am waiting for the 2 part epoxy to dry after mounting the riders. I pin them in place, but super glue just doesn't cut it with me, so I have to wait overnight. Here's what I have so far.

Cheers
Kevin

    Look at all the glittery bits! The Princes do travel with their bling. Excellent painting sir.
