These are Victrix Romans I bought and painted 2 or 3 years ago. Unfortunately, I only managed to paint a few before I was hugely distracted by the Greeks that Victrix produced. Now, 300 odd painted  Greeks later, I am trying to return to painting these little chaps. So far I have painted and re-organised about 40+ but have a lot more to do. Unsatisfied with 120 Victrix Romans I also had to buy 72 Warlord Games Romans as well. My excuse is that I am trying to fight Caesar's Civil Wars. Eventually. I have some superb Numidian Cavalry from Victrix that I have painted up and they look spiffing (photo to follow soon) and I've also bought some Iberian Cavalry (Victrix again) which I have put together but not started to paint yet. All in all I have a lot to paint and need to get on with it! 

With my regiment at Skipton Castle. 

All of these figures are from Front Rank and are Austrians and Prussians from the Seven Years War. I have about 700 of them altogether and need to get them out more often for games. Unfortunately, I had a mishap with some Army Painter that I put on them and it picked up some flock I had foolishly used for basing and spread some of the small pieces of the flock on to the figures effectively welding the flock to the figures. Very, very annoying. As a consequence, I need to revisit them and do some magic on them if I can. Having said that, I think they look quite good in these photos. 

Baccus 6mm

These figures were given to me for Christmas by my eldest step-son, Matthew. He has rather a lot of the allies and I was more than happy to be the French, so here we are! This is my first ever foray into 6mm and far from finding the painting daunting I really enjoyed it which I wasn't really expecting. It is much, much quicker than painting 28mm figures and you can paint a great deal in fairly short amount of time. I am looking forward to having a game with Matthew (where I will no doubt be annihilated) and to revisiting the Napoleonic Wars which I have neglected for a long time. 

And for those who are interested, the 28mm figures in the background are Marlburian Danes by Ebor Miniatures. 

Revell Seven Years War figures

This is a bunch of Fireforge figures which I have painted up for the Second Baron's War. It took me quite a while to warm to these figures as I wasn't quite sure I liked what I saw of them on the Fireforge website. However, a friend had some and I liked what I saw of them in the flesh so bought some. And then I painted them! Here is the result. I was very happy with the way they came out and I am planning on having a game with them sometime soon.

Blenheim Palace - a grand day out!
