1/600th Scale Samples

I mentioned a while ago that I had ordered a sample pack of the Oddzial Osmy 1/600 tanks from Pico Armor.com to see what they were like. Below is the contents of the Yom Kippur Sample Pack.

The first thing to note is that the grid is a 1cm x 1cm grid. The pack [...]

Figure Tart

I am. I’m always looking for something new. It’s not enough that the current painting and project queue consists of 15mm DBA Ancients, 1/6000 World War 1 ships, 1/3000 World War 1 and 2 ships, 1/1200 scale Aeronefs, 2mm Land Ironclads, 1/300 scale Napoleonic and Ancients (and lots of the Napoleonic’s I might add), a [...]

Tribal Mongol Figures

In this post I am doing a quick survey of 15mm figures available to do the Tribal Mongols. Recall that the first six armies I will need to build for this project are:

Tribal Mongolian – two of these armies Uigher Sha-t’o Turkish Khitan-Liao Hsi-Hsia

I considered scales, includig 6mm and 10/12mm but settled on [...]

Tribal Mongol

As part of the Mongol Conquest Campaign that I outlined here the other day, the next step in the planning is based around two areas – some background information on the armies as well as looking at the available figures for each of them. As I mentioned, I am building this little collection based around [...]

A New Ancient Project

It’s been a few months since I outlined my next wargaming project, to be added to the pile of other projects either planned or underway but not yet completed. Time for an ancient one.

This came about as a result of the three for two sale from Essex Miniatures. I’d bought Hungarians, Poles and Serbs. [...]

New Toys – 15mm DBA Armies

Essex in the UK had a sale recently. They were offering three 15mm DBA Armies for the price of two. Given the Aussie dollar’s stellar performance against the pound sterling it was too good an opportunity to pass up. I purchased.

I was looking for something fairly late and recognisable. I ended up settling on [...]

Rapier Parthians

The first of my 6mm ancient figures turned up during the week. These were the result of Macro and Cato causing grief on me and are the Parthians. They were one of the enemies faced by our indomitable heroes when Macro gets his wish and a transfer to Syria. Goodness knows what I’ll [...]

6mm Ancients – Step One

Well, really step 1.5. I decided to spend some of my PayPal balance today and ordered some figures from Rapier Miniatures. In the spirit of Macro and Cato I ended up ordering the Warmaster Ancient Parthian Army. This is 1000 points worth of Parthians and consists of 4 units of Cataphracts, 6 of Horse Archers [...]

RJW and Pendraken Search Results

Over the last couple of days I had another couple of search results from within Thomo’s Hole that were unsuccessful. However, both of these should have returned something, especially from a wargamers blog. The two search terms were:

“pendraken miniatures” which was searched twice “rjw miniatures” which was searched yesterday

Let’s take the second search [...]

15mm Chinese WW2

Well this morning the postman delivered a small package containing some new releases from EUREKA MINIATURES. I had heard Chinese Infantry for WW2 were being released and having seen the quality of other 15mm, such as the brilliantly sculptured Italian WW1, I was quite excited to see what these were like. Mike Broadbent sculpted the [...]
