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.

Border Wars: Under a Reiver Moon.... The Broken Men

 I've added to my Border Wars collection today with 6 mounted Reivers. These are from Flags of War Border Wars collection and are called the Broken Men. Back from the war, destitute, and perhaps no large family name to lean on. They would rustle up horses, cattle, etc. to make a shilling here and there, or perhaps pick up a writ from the Warden to hunt down someone like themselves that have been causing to much trouble.













As always thanks for looking.

Cheers
Kevin

    They look Great but, I really miss a satin finish to a miniature. I think a bit of a satin stain wash would really set these boys right off!

    Now, I do understand, different people have different styles and preferences and mine are different than yours. I'm just a- missin the "sparkle."

      Thanks Skippy, yeah I hear you, and you are correct not my style. Three layer painter here and that’s about it.

      But perhaps I can interest you to try the 45 Jacobite rebellion again so you can amaze me once more with your painting style.

      Cheers

    They look great, Kevin. Not sure how you feel about plastics, but the Wargames Atlantic Renaissance Cavalry look similar to these figures. The set come with options for lances, swords, and pistols as well.

      Thanks Dean, oh yeah, I've got some of those. I will say the Flags of War metals are way nicer though. The Wargames Atlantic is nice to have to fill gaps.

      Cheers
