Pict War Dogs

28mm Pict war dogs from Footsore Miniatures, well mostly...one dog was short when I came to paint them up and I managed to find a stray from Gripping Beast to join the pack.

Managed to play a game of Lion Rampant last weekend where my Picts and Early Saxons joined forces to take on a Viking force. I'll add pictures next post.

Currently on the painting table are some 15mm Jacobite Rebellion. I'm painting two armies up, very quickly to use with Warfare in the Age of Reason. I have 2 weeks off work coming up, and the plan is to have both armies complete. 

 

Early Saxon Infantry 1

28mm Early Saxons from Footsore Miniatures. The aim is to be able to field them for SAGA, Dux Britanniarum, Dux Bellorum and Midgard; lots of choice for rules once the forces are complete. Still more Picts and Late Romans to come, and some Arthurian miniatures. 

MDF kits are still being built, it's quite a stack of models that I've accumulated over the years. Now seems as good a time as any to tackle them. I'm desperately trying to stay focussed and not drift into another project. More Picts will be next up on the painting table if I can manage to retain my focus.

Late Roman Infantry 2

More Late Romans, 28mm Crusader Miniatures to provide some opponents for my Picts. Units will be 12 figures strong for Lion Rampant. I've had a productive week making mdf kits from TT Combat, there will be pictures soon. The aim is to have a reasonable set up for a WWII game. So far I've managed to make 9 buildings, they're still in the raw mdf. I'm going to prime with a sealer and see what they look like with a basic paint job. As a consequence of getting stuck into the mdf there's been no figure painting done again this week. If I get carried away I might even make a start on the SCI-FI kits, though I think I've another 8 or 9 to make for WWII first. I've found it quite therapeutic once I got started.
