thomo the lost posted this in Ancient, DBA, Numidian, Singapore Wargames Project, Wargaming on July 5th, 2011
Over the weekend I finished the first six elements of the test Army. 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 [...]
thomo the lost posted this in Ancient, DBA, Numidian, Singapore Wargames Project, Wargaming on June 25th, 2011 I 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 [...]
thomo the lost posted this in Ancient, Carthaginian, DBA, Gauls, Italian, Numidian, Rome, Spanish, Syracusan, Wargaming on June 5th, 2011 So I finally collected everything. I have the baseboard (thank you Doug for the idea), paint, materials for terrain, figures to make 7 DBA armies from around the time and area of the Punic Wars as well as pre-cut bases to base on it all.
A can of Tiger beer and a planning session [...]
thomo the lost posted this in Ancient, Carthaginian, DBA, Gauls, Italian, Numidian, Rome, Singapore, Spanish, Syracusan, Wargaming on May 6th, 2011 I mentioned that I was going to build this set using 6mm figures from Baccus 6mm. There are seven armies being prepared over time but I thought, as it was payday last week, to buy all the figures at one time.
Two orders were therefore sent to the nice Mr Berry of Baccus (his shopping [...]
thomo the lost posted this in Ancient, Asia Pacific, DBA, Singapore, Wargaming on May 5th, 2011 I went to the art store today to get the makings for the game board and the terrain. As I mentioned previously, the shop, The Art Friend, is just down the road from me. It’s well stocked with paint and art materials.
For just over Aussie $100 (US$100, SGD 130) I bought enough material for [...]
thomo the lost posted this in Ancient, Carthaginian, DBA, Gauls, Italian, Numidian, Rome, Spanish, Syracusan, Wargaming on May 4th, 2011 Yesterday I detailed the terrain to be purchased for the project. I mentioned earlier as well that once I started looking at possible armies, one of the campaign sets popped up as an obvious choice. The 2nd Punic War campaign has a good group of armies all of which are fairly competitive and that together [...]
thomo the lost posted this in Ancient, DBA, Singapore, Wargaming on May 3rd, 2011 The first thing I should note here is that before you walk down the road to the art shop to buy some terrain materials … make sure the bloody shop is open. I walked down on 1 May 2011 and that is, of course, the May Day holiday in Singapore. The art shop is open [...]
thomo the lost posted this in Ancient, DBA, Singapore, Wargaming on May 2nd, 2011 I mentioned previously that I had found the odd wargamer or two in Singapore and that Warhammer and Flames of War seemed to be the rules played most often here. I’ll admit, I did briefly think of Flames of War but then thought “Ancients! I’d like to do some Ancients!”
I started looking around and [...]
