The British are coming

I decided to add some colour to my palette, blues and browns were starting to bore. So I got stuck into my first Regt of British infantry. 37th Foot, Pendraken figures and a real joy to paint. I'm working on a 1:10 ratio so the units look like units! and it will allow for smaller regt's that would not otherwise get a look in.

And then I was persuaded to enter the Pendraken painting competition, so these are the two images I have submitted, today is the last day of entry, we wait and see now!
My first time entering anything like this, I don't expect to rank at all as the painting talent is high.

American war of Independance report

Yesterday saw one of the clubs all day games, AWI was elected. I had never played this period before but is something that I am reading about a lot at the moment. At some point I will commit to buying some figures and begin my own collection.
Anyway I digress, the game was hosted by the very talented Alan, home made terrain and a rather extensive collection of 28mm mini's.

I will leave this write up as a photo log and direct you to Robs excellent blog where he has taken the time to write an excellent report.

Much to the dismay of the British, the ragged array of militia won the field with some simply splendid dice rolls!

Warning lots of pics
