But games last year with James and Scrivs and a little more reading around the subject has weakened my resolve.
And these are really nice models.
So I got some just to, you know, see how it went.
Very easy to paint, nice results.
Think the "battle bowler" may need some work.
I got some guidance from the splendid Over Open Sights blog who generously supplied his Late War British PDF.
Thanks very much Mark, most useful.
However I varied it to suit the paints I have, and the fact that I'm a much less talented painter.
Still not 100% sure how I feel about it all, but there's an anniversary next year that gives me a chance to mary up my toy soldier love with my main sporting passion, so I expect I'll paint a few more...
Fantastic soldiers!
ReplyDeleteGood work there! More please!
ReplyDeleteI've always found it a little odd that some gamers avoid WW1 because they're not sure they feel it's "ok", especially as many of the same will happily play WW2.
Whatever, welcome to what I think is a truly fascinating period of military history and one that deserves to be commemorated via wargaming.
Cheers

Thanks Matt.
DeleteThere's clearly no logic to it, and I'm not sure I entirely understand it myself, but I retain a genuine (though diminishing) feeling of unease.
That said, nice soldiers is always good to paint. :)

To be honest, when Warhammer Historical first brought out TGW I did initially baulk at it myself so I quite understand the illogic of it :o)
DeleteHappy gaming!
Very very nice!
