This post contains gratuitous nuditity.

WARNING; This post contains nudity and jolly nice it is to....
Now that I have more or less completed my ECW armies I can concentrate on completing the two small 'warbands' for the new Warlord SPQR game. 

John and I decided to take advantage of the introductory offer for the SPQR game and after playing two games we have been furiously buying additional units, buildings and animals.
My main warband/army will be the Ancient British. I blame Airfix for this, as it was one of my original armies when I was a teenager. They didnt win many games but were lovely to look at. And of course they have war chariots. Now I have time I will be painting up the maximum number of chariots, naturally.
These 21st century ones are no different although there is more nudity and 'tackle' on show, as there should be. I am still waiting for the Victrix sheild designs which will add to their look.
I picked up these painted standing stones at the Border Reivers show on Saturday. Yes they are fantasy ones but are so nice I couldn't help myself. They complement my female druids courtesy of Colonel Bill's naked women range.
The British are allowed several units of war dogs, I had to have the maximum number
I painted up a couple of Renedra huts yesterday and added a couple of heads to give them a homely look.

My main druid, ready to hex the Romans. In SPQR you can use a druid to downgrade one of the Roman champions virtues.

  1. A new project? You are certainly keeping busy! I do like those Ancient Brits though, must be because I'm of the same vintage.

    1. Clearly we are David. I loved the Airfix box of Britons.As for keeping busy, well I thought I better move into the 21st century regarding smaller games.

  2. Well done Robbie for your taste in gratuitous nudity! Very entertaining, but if severed heads is your idea of homeliness I feel lucky I have not yet had an invitation to visit!

  3. Ad there was I getting all worried at the prospect of seeing you in all your glory. Very gorgeously painted figures. I was tempted by SPQR but got too much on the go just now. Look forward to reading more and seeing more boobies 😉🤣🤣🤣

  4. The rules are just fun really and luckily easy to understand.I dont think you could fight a big battle with them, well not yet at least. As for the nuditity, there must have been something very uplifting about fighting with ones tackle hanging down.

    1. Only uplifting when one came to enjoy the spoils of war surely?
