Maybe, they might be a bit hefty. I'll bring them by or to the next EWG. Any 28mm ancients to medievals are welcome!

Let me look at what I have extra--perhaps some mounted dark ages guys. Do the Mantic mix well (visually, not socially) with LotR dwarves?

Need more dwarves? I have 4 sprues of very nice Mantic warriors (~20 bodies) in armour with hand weapons that could be available for a swap.

Wow! That Star Wars game looks really great.

The starship stuff looks pretty snazzy too!

Thanks for sharing!

No, I haven't--is it good? Looked like a lot of stuff down on the peninsula this year to coincide with the 200th but I will miss most of that.

I will have to make the effort next time I am dragged into Toronto. Have you made it out to Fort Henry?

Joseph: That was my thought exactly! Probably intentional, though.

Fireymonkeyboy: Yeah, I thought about that (thanks!) but it was an in and out trip to do my presentation. Kind of like the original occupation of Fort York, but with fewer explosions.

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. I'm tempted to make a model of a block house for when I eventually get round to painting a few 1812 figures. This is useful reference material, thanks.

Regards,

I love the fact that nobody could be bothered to file off the flash on those soldiers.

Nice. We took the cub there for a picnic last summer. You should have said you were coming to town, there's a good block of historical gamers in the area.

Mark: some acrylics (folk art or delta creamcoat maybe). I often use grey for stone and then find myself put off by how cold it looks so decided to go with a warmer brown/tan colour. Seems to work well with the brown/black wash.

The ruins are great. I love your use of colours there. What brand of paints was the sand and sandstone?

Thanks Frank; I'm keen to see my own copy (currently in the post). And yes, I will post battle reports when we get to play it!

2012-04-27T17:49:38.913-07:00

Hey Bob, my friend and I have played the "Lite" version a couple of times now and we feel this game is elegant. Simple to learn and clean but it is subtle and a steep learning curve for mastery. I think the game is brilliant and can't wait for the full version to arrive. Days away now! I hope more people include battle reports on their blogs as I will and we need more scenarios!!! Thanks for this report. Great armies!

Thanks Don; should be fine--we don't normally do participation games for interested walk ons but if no one shows up, I'll just join another game!

Glad to see that folks are getting more for their money. Yes, their guns are enormous, especially compared with the Perry figures I have.

2012-04-23T17:42:19.234-07:00

I believe those are actually the most recent Empire figs, you can tell from the relative size of the guns. They seem to grow about 20% per edition (perhaps in line with their price).

2012-04-23T13:49:20.278-07:00

Thanks Tim. I'm trying to go a bit slower and get a better result. I'm also spending more time on banners, following the Tim School in this regard (tuition is cheap, but the master, he beats us so!)

Thanks James. Yeah, they are alright. quite basic resin home casts a fellow did but they have a certain feel. I spent a lot of time on some a year or two back and then these I did as fast as possible and I'm not sure there is a big difference in outcome. I like that they fit in the hexes.

Those are pretty neat. Nice scheme, really brings them to life.
