The Zhodani Commando: Carthaginian General and Gallic Cavalry

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.

Carthaginian General and Gallic Cavalry

So this past week and a half I have been diligently working on my Carthaginian General and one point of warriors being Gallic Cavalry.

I started out painting some Macedonian Cavalry for a friend and some Scifi infantry for another. The idea was to place paint on each grouping (including mine) to keep it fresh and to whittle away the pile. It started off okay until the cool models from Victrix, and the Little Bigmen shield transfers stole my heart.

Well that was that and I was off to the races. This project has been and on and off subject for two years and I now find myself within one point of fielding an army. Of course there are some odds and ends I would like to paint to flush it out and give myself some versatility, but I will maintain my focus on the next 12 levy I need. I’m going to try to put these and the other two groupings on the same plate again to see if I can get a little more done for my friends.

Here are a couple of pics.
