I have completed my first full regiment of Hanoverians. Last year I bought a load of Dixon SYW figures off Ebay, for the princely sum of 20p per casting, so I decided to paint some of these first.
The Independent Wargames Group. Being a Journal of views, prejudices, ideas and photographs of wargaming not just nationwide, but hopefully world wide. The name IWG was adopted in the early 1980's in response to the then dominant Wargames Research Group, but things have moved on, and wargaming appears to be in somewhat of a Golden Age, so sit back and hopefully enjoy my rantings.

Finally Hanoverians.
As part of my new years resulotutions list,I promised myself that I would get back to painting, and I have been fairly true to my word, ignoring call outs,overtime and meetings with my builder and architect.

Now Dixon castings have been given a bad press, but I was impressed by these figures, they are not the best I have painted,but I do think they have a charm.They are 28mm figures, and look small compared to my RSM figures. They are meant to represent one of the Legion Britanique units,who were pretty ropey troops. But what the heck,theyre toy soldiers.
