Force Update

It's been a long while since my last post but I have been busy of a sort.

With Battle Cry fast approaching I have been forced to reorganise my original force lists as there is no way I can complete everything as planned but things are still looking good.

I will focus on finishing the scenery in February and use this as a back drop for Brigade level photo shoots. It will be nice to cover each brigade in detail and finally post some new pics on the blog.


On the 5th Feb I also plan to have a dry run of the game at the Auckland Wargames Club, so feel free to pop along and join in.

GW and Alchemy

Games Workshop have given up trying to screw you over the increasing costs of metal, or is it plastic, or maybe it’s now Resin – and have now decided to get rich through Alchemy and to this end have invented Green!

Black Adder aside, they really have brought out liquid green and its worth its weight in Gold. Not very often I am happy with the GW boys but today I am...

My first application of this liquid treasure was to make my Perry Zouaves even better. No more gaps and seams where arms are glued to the body etc.

Apply a dollop of green, add water and simply paint/blend the green across the seam.
