Singapore Wargames Project–Test Army–Numidia

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 [...]

Painting the Numidians–Part 1

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 [...]

The Singapore Wargames Project – Part 6 the Materials

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 [...]

The Singapore Wargames Project – Part 5 the Figures

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 [...]

The Singapore Wargames Project – Part 4 – the Board

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 [...]

The Singapore Wargames Project – Part 3 – the Armies

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 [...]

The Singapore Wargames Project – Part 2

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 [...]

The Singapore Wargames Project–Part 1

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 [...]
