On a lighter note from griping I found this Hinchliffe set in my scrap box. I think I bought him about ten years ago in Scotland. Unfortunately there was no dais but the King of Kings is perfect as my C in C for Sword and Spear. Yes he is a bit crudely painted but the figures are well over thirty years old and Im even older.
Two Persian sub generals to prove I actually own some new figures these are from the Mortal Gods range, in all their 32mm glory.
Another couple from another scrap box and stored for a rainy day as it were.I haven't a clue who made these figures but they are very good sculpts and a pleasure to paint.
And finally a couple of Garrison goodies that were spares from the couple of foot regiments that Rob Young very kindly cast up for me. So a couple of foot generals for Pike and Shotte.
To be honest I haven't just painted these few figures but the remainder are figures that belong in larger units yet to be completed fully.
So I am still painting albeit a tad slower because of the weather and the lock-down which has become tedious to say the least.
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.

Some lovely old school minis there!
ReplyDeleteSince the madness started Ive found myself regressing in my choice of wargaming figures for my units.I think its a safety issue or something too deep to understand.
DeleteBeautiful work on the Persians!
ReplyDeleteThanks Johnathan, I nearly chose the old Hinchliffe range for the Persians but luckily the first of the plastic Persian figures were released. I still have a hankering for the Hinchliffe range though.
DeleteTedious doesn't even begin to cover it really! Nice to see you still churning out completed stuff! Keep at it!
ReplyDeleteSo right David. One has to be of a certain mentality to handle the tedium. You can only dig so many holes and pull so many weeds before you get sick.
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Its difficult to remain motivated when one cant get on the battlefield to push the toys around.
DeleteYour scrap box had some nice kit in it!
ReplyDeleteLovely work all round but I think the medieval couple are my favourites!
Best Iain
They are indeed Iain, I wish I knew who had made them because they are really well sculpted.
DeleteVery nice looking figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray, still plugging away and attempting to hold things together, just.
DeleteA great variety of nice add-ons there!
ReplyDeleteSometimes less is more as the cliche goes. The variety helps sometimes.
