Finished off some Bloody Miniatures ECW figures last night and now the varnish has gone off I can take a photo 😊

They are lovely to paint 😎

A rather broad selection of Bloody Miniatures. Painted in various colours with fairly verdant bases. Chap at the back is on his charger extolling the virtues of the King (quite possibly a thankless task 😬) and egging his men on to go cause some trouble in the name of royalty!

Chapman’s Pool on the Purbeck coast near Worth Matravers - a lovely little remote cove that’s well worth a visit (note it’s a bit of a hike down and back) when the weather is nicer. Views from the coast path as you come from St Albans Head are particularly impressive #Dorset

Great game of Dux Britanniarum with
@sprandell.bsky.social
tonight. Cattle Raid scenario. A tough challenge with the game shifting in favour of one side, then the other.

My Saxons won in the end, securing the cattle and some gold, but at some cost to my Elites.

After a little journey into the 13th century I'm going back to the peninsula project for a bit. Let's see how these paint up

Awful end of last year and the beginning of this year can't get much worse. So here's the @oshiromodels.bsky.social pig sty from his peninsula range. These buildings are fantastic, highly recommend

Afternoon everyone 🙂 I've added a new ruined tower to the fantasy buildings catalogue.

Perfect for scenario plot points or objectives. Comes with a separate top floor, wooden flooring and three rubble piles.

The ruined tower in scenic setting. Evergreen trees in the background with a small clan of Skaven in the foreground trying to oust an elven wizard from the tower (which is in the mid ground). The tower with a white background. It’s painted in a warm grey for the brick and a warm tan for the interior with a checkerboard pattern on the floor with subtle weathering. The rubble piles can be seen either side and on the tower floor. A Skaven warlock on the right is pointing at the elvish wizard on the left as if to say ‘If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times, this tower is ours!’. The Skaven on the top floor is brandishing his blunderbuss as if in agreement (although he could just be generally excitable). The parts of the tower on a white background. From left to right; The upper floor, a rubble pile, another rubble pile, the tower main body, yet another rubble pile and the timber upper floor plate. The elvish wizard is standing amongst the parts wondering what the hell happened.

It's token time and sabot tray Saturday! Not the catchiest tag line really 😂

Two entries today; one for a set of lasered tokens and one for an extended order sabot tray.

Made primarily with Sharp Practice 2 in mind😊

Ten tokens on a grey background. On the left are five black tokens representing muskets with the word ‘Present’ etched in a fancy font. On the right are five white ‘powder clouds’ with the word ‘Uncontrolled’ also etched in a fancy font. The extended order sabot tray that’s had some groundwork and static grass applied to it. Six figures along the front with two behind. It’s an element from the 31st that have had several outings in our Dorking campaign although they’re wondering when the reinforcements will arrive as they’re a bit out in the open…

Hope you're all recovered from the recent festivities 😁

To kick the New Year off there are two new medieval timber framed builds in the catalogue (and yes, the market cross will be following very soon).

www.oshiromodels.co.uk/medievalbuil...

#oshiromodels
#wargaming
#nerdlings
ME12 Shop 2 looking from the front right quarter showing the building stacked together and the shop shutter in the open position. The roof has various shades of painted tiles to represent clay tiling and the walls are typically timber framed with light tan panels. Two knights are prowling around for the shop keeper as they want a haunch of mutton. ME13 is a ‘range’ building that usually would’ve extended out the back of the normal buildings/houses/shops. Same paint style as ME12. Mr Knight is still searching for some mutton. The parts of ME12 spread out. Consisting of (from front centre going clockwise) attic space, shop hatch and supports, a puzzled Mr Knight, first floor, roof and ground floor. The roof has come off ME13 as well and Mr Knoght just can’t fathom what’s going on. Shame really.

As the Vision Jedi was so popular (thank you 😊) here’s his evil twin!

Bac Ninh again with a blade swap but everything else is as it was.

They are twins and went to the same school but one turned to another path…

The dark Jedi in all his evil glory! Painted in warm blacks and greys al with a red sabre (as is fitting). Temperate base to fit with a plethora of terrain I have. He’s a bit more heavily armoured than his brother but that usually makes no difference in Star Wars 😂 A view from the other side. His face has been painted in a pale brown/grey to help give the impression of the evil vibe he’s giving off. A duel scene behind a Visions building. Plenty of details in the surrounding terrain but the figures are clearly visible in the middle of the shot. Who will win… They are now arguing in front of the building as to who will get the last meluron (even though there are plenty left).

Finished this chap today. A Bac Ninh miniatures Shinsengumi with the katana replaced with some blue acrylic rod for a lightsabre. Fits quite well with the Star Wars Visions vibe I think 😊

A Shinsengumi figure (Edo period ‘police’) painted in Jedi colours ie. brown and cream. He’s pointing his lightsabre (blue acrylic rod really) at a Sith Lord off screen. Same figure but from the other side as he’s just discovered that there was another Sith behind him…
