The Goths are invading! More infantry support for my Goth armies, these are 15mm Old Glory Miniatures and are sold by TimeCast Models in the UK. I still think these are great miniatures and are worthwhile looking at, plus the service from TimeCast is excellent. The shields are hand painted, and look much better viewed at a distance, 3ft rule! Also after listening to an episode on the Yarkshire Gamer podcast with Henry Hyde as the guest, I've started to paint the edges of my bases. Those not familiar with the podcast, there is a section based on Room 101, a repository for wargaming dislikes/hates. If you haven't discovered Yarkshire Gamer podcasts, they are an excellent companion to the painting table, very enjoyable.
On the work bench I have some 15mm Goth Cavalry just waiting for basing. I've also finished the first set for Empire of the Dead figures, though I have to sort out the basing and I'm pondering whether to buy cobblestone bases, sculpt with putty or use soft foam. That will be a post on it's own. On the painting I've finally started my 15mm Middle Imperial Romans form Forged in Battle.
Social media wise, I've joined Bluesky, and it already appears a far friendly place to be than the other place that shall not be named. Henry Hyde has also set up a starter pack on Historical Miniature Wargaming, already expanded to a second pack. This already looks to be a promising way to link like minded people.
