I am just painting up my 20mm Villista army for the Mexican Revolution. All miniatures are from the excellent Shellhole Scenics.
A mess, as usual!
Bunch of Ral-Partha, Xyston, Essex, Museum Mini’s and Minifigs 15’s, some Reaper Bones and WoTC D&D bendies, some Das Schwarze Auge 28’s, a chunk of Ral-Partha Resin, Black Cat Mini’s swarms, some cheap bendy plastic prehistoric creatures and even a Cthulhu Wars boardgame piece I picked up on E-bay for cheap.
All from a defunct 15mm fantasy project of ages past, and/or the “oh that’s cheap and shiney!” pile, now repurposed for Burning Sands.
Keeping me busy whilst I wait for my Croms Anvil stuff 🙂
Swarms eh, just written rules for them in the Chroniclers Companion!
Oh, cool!
I had been planning to improvise, something like:
within x cm of swarm token (I assume swarms are much bigger and ‘cloudier’ than the static mini portrays) -2 on all rolls (inc vs swarm).
within x cm of aggressive swarm automatically on receiving end of a full vit (assume 2) attack from the swarm – succesful defense does not give damage to the swarm.
When attacking a swarm, damage >/= to its vit allows you to act on rest of+next turn without the penalty above, even if in ‘zone’. Only specific damage – say fire – can actually reduce a swarms vit/kill it.
When moving, either random (full vit, even if attacking those in x cm) or towards nearest/largest/most creatures if aggressive.
I imagine something like the swarms of frogs and turtles I have are good just for -2 on move tasks whilst with x cm.
Based on my doubtless imperfect (I only read them Sunday for the first time, and have not even played yet!) comprehension of the rules.
Chroniclers Companion, eh? Desire to know more intensifies!
Bits and pieces of scenery…some bought some scratch built.
Got my little space back in the garage so getting stuff ready for some games!

http://steelcitywargaming.wordpress.com/Not a lot really, but just to persuade myself I’ve been doing something I thought I’d stick these up:
Perry light medieval horse for a WotR period private war – sort of like Nibley Green but set in Cheshire.
Need a few touches and matt spraying but if I wait I’ll forget to post!
Finshed and united with their comrades/foes
For now consigned to the Attic of Doom (past the Loft Ladder Styx but not beyond the Lethe under the eaves – so I should be getting a game with them shortly rather than forgetting them for another decade).
After taking several weeks off to work on my figure database I’m back to the painting desk. Here’s what’s waiting for me: 36 Victrix Republican Romans all cleaned, assembled primed and dry-brushed and awaiting color.

More verbosity: http://petiteguerre.blogspot.com/Finally got round to adding some grass to the bases for my 6mm British WW2 troops. Realised I forgot to get PIATs so will be visiting Baccus soon to pick those up.

Cheers,
Been doing some work on my new ship.
The Shrieking Minstrel.More painting to do on the ship, the sail to add and some sacks and various other cargo bits for the deck.
Lots of Napoleonic Russian reinforcements have been on my painting desk recently:
Plus some more Roman generals and artillery (and a shiledmaiden in need of some TLC):
I paint pictures with words.
But… OK, here you go. Jeesh! youngsters and their demands for graphic satisfaction…. Lemeee see! Lemeee see!

Thanks!
As for the youngster, I wish!😀
What I have been up to (more here):
Gallic nobles:
C15 Pikemen, Mounted Arquebusiers, the Aspern-Essling granary and Vietnam stuff:
A stone circle:
And TYW standard bearers:
Cold War Soviet Motor Riflemen and Australian Mechanized Infantry (both from Battlefront’s Team Yankee range):
Not a drop of paint…
Currently though I’m trying to build a little table (60×40 cm) for 28mm skirmish based on a Tesco whiteboard frame. The board is a waste of money (their pen does not come off and it’s got glue strings all over the bottom half) but a handy, if not quiet straight, frame.
So far I’ve just got a 3D printed paddy field, a Sarissa animal pen and most of a peasant hut out to help me mock up the layout with off-cuts of foam:
With luck I’ll get a bit done tonight assuming the work this weekend stops the water coming through the kitchen ceiling (just the news you need to be woken up to)…
