Society of Ancients members can stop reading now One of my favourite reads every two months is Slingshot. This is the journal of the Society of Ancients, based in the UK. The Society is a collection of wargamers, historians (military and otherwise) whose common interest is ancient military history and playing games with [...] A Wargamer’s Indecision Dilemma. I have a bunch of 6mm figures painted and ready for basing. That’s them on the left there with the bases I was going to use. They look neat laid out ready for basing. I was intending to base them on 60x30mm bases for Polemos. On the left would be [...]  Tags: 6mm, ancient, DBA, Polemos, Wargames, warmaster | 
One comment so far |  Print This Post |  Email This Post |  One of my favourite podcasts has been The History of Rome. I have spent many an interesting hour driving to visit my mum near Coffs Harbour or my kids in and around Canberra, listening to this podcast on my iPod as the kilometres sped past. This has been an ambitious project of Mike Duncan, to [...] For one of the many wargame projects I have running here I need some Greek Cavalry. I have some Thessalian light horse already so I’m looking for 9 to 12 painted 15mm Greek Cavalry – either from the Early or Later Hoplite period. Basing not required. I have picked up enough figures off eBay to [...] I came second at Cancon 2011 in the DBA competition. I was staying with Doug for that weekend and Doug had won the competition. However, for the first and second place getters, we had not played over the six games of the competition so I maintained that the only reason Doug had won was that [...] Tags: DBA, rajput, teutonic |
2 people had their say - be the next! | Print This Post | Email This Post | I finished the 6mm Numidian DBA army this weekend – part of my Singapore project. I painted all options for this force and they can all be seen in the picture. This will enable me to pad out some of the Punic Wars collection as well as well as provide an army to play some [...] Tags: 6mm, baccus, DBA, numidia |

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was building a six army campaign set. To that set I added a Numidian force, as much to test out things as anything else. Of course, they will also provide a contemporary opponent [...] Tags: 6mm, baccus, DBA, numidia |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | thomo the lost posted this in Ancient, DBA, Numidian, Singapore Wargames Project, Wargaming on June 25th, 2011I started to prepare the Numidians for painting. The first task was to sort the army out again. As I was going to try some, for me, new painting techniques, I also decided that I should try a dry run of the figures to see how they would look when based. I figure [...] Tags: 6mm, DBA, numidia, Painting, Singapore |
2 people had their say - be the next! | Print This Post | Email This Post | This weekend is a busy weekend. I’m meeting my old boss from Korea, CW, at 2 for a couple of beers at Changi and then this evening on to Beerfest Asia 2011. I suspect that as a result of these two cultural events, tomorrow will be spent reading … but picture books only. Saturday morning [...] I spent some time this weekend doing two things for the Singapore Wargames Project. The first was starting on the game board and the terrain. The second was sorting the figures and the bases out. I was expecting that I would have some errors in purchasing and I did. I had a few too many [...] Tags: 6mm, baccus, DBA, numidia, Singapore, Wargames |
