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.

My French getting another beating
Lovely painting and really nice sculpts, just missing some fencing to give it your classic look!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Strangely enough I was going to place some fencing amongst the regiment but thought less is more.
DeleteThese troops look great, Robbie! My problem is that storage boxes are cheap, so I just keep on painting. Bringing an army out onto the table for a parade can be quite a shock at how large it has become over the years.
ReplyDeleteI think most wargamers have a storage box issue. I now use large plastic under the bed storage units. They each hold 10 regiments of 36 figures. Mind the cavalry boxes are very heavy.The trouble is I keep returning to your images of your Assyrians and wanting some.
DeleteGreat looking regiment
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil, all I need now is a battle using the chaps.
DeleteGrand additions there Robbie! I'm sure there will be room for another couple of additions in due course...😉
ReplyDeleteSadly true David but I am attempting to show discipline.
DeleteFantastic paint job!
ReplyDeleteThanks you Bartek, Steve Barber is a great sculpter with some interesting figures even if they do need super glue.
DeleteHi Robbie,I don't know how you've got the patience to paint to that standard,and then go and do those incredible bases!-
ReplyDeleteSee you soon? Charlie's sheltered accomodation has got its first case of virus-he's ok but a "tad" worried,as you can imagine-I keep in touch by 'phone,at 92 I would say he's very vulnerable!

Thanks for the update John. I didnt realise he had gone into sheltered accomadation. I was thinking about him the other night and hoped he was okay. What a great bloke.
DeleteA very lively firing line for this veteran looking regiment!
ReplyDeleteAnd thats how they will be classed when I finally get them on a table.
DeleteRobbie, a fine looking regiment and one that does Gilder proud.
ReplyDeleteI think that there is a touch of nostalgia in the apparent increasing popularity of some of the older figures, but I also think there is an element of the simple elegance of the figures an average painter can make them look decent . Sometimes there is something to be said about the olde guys!
