Korean Buntai for Ronin

OK, thirteen years is a perfectly normal amount of time to take to paint up a skirmish force of ten figures, right?
So way back in 2013 when Ronin came out I got excited and bought the rules. I also bought some Perry Miniatures Koreans. In fact getting Tonin was the excuse to buy them as I'd wanted them since they first came out.
Anyway in that first flush of excitement I painted three of them - you can find the post here

Things happened,mistakes were made and here we are
A finished Buntai of Perry Miniatures Koreans for games of Ronin:


And here are the individual models

A leader, waving his sword in a very leadery fashion


Three of the super cool swordsmen with the demon shields that are surely the main reason anyone wants a Korean army


Three spearmen, two of them with the funky tridents - another reason to collect Koreans


Three archers


The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that the spearmen are *not* the same models from October 2013 - I have in fact painted three more, so I *could field six if I wanted to, exciting stuff.

I also have the other half of the archers and the swordsmen packs still in their Perry jewellery boxes as well as the other five models from the command pack.
So I guess we should expect to see those sometime around 2039.

Anyway, General B. has Samurai, so expect some Far Eastern warfare, ahem,  Imjin-ently.

Warmaster Buildings

Added a few more 10mm buildings to the Warmaster collection

A pair from Warbases




A few Zombies looking for a des res

Then a couple more from the pile from Warmaster 25 that I'll add to our tournament scenery collection

Midgard conversion trays for Warmaster

Chum Martin very kindly printed out some conversion or adaptor trays designed by someone clever on the book of faces. Each one holds three Warmaster stands on an 80x40 bas along with a little holder for micro dice to track damage.

I've had them a while but finally got some paint on them recently then flocked them last night.




There's two types, one for cavalry and one for infantry.


Not sure how I'll do artillery exactly but there's not much of that in Midgard anyway.

Dragon Rampant Campaign - The Valley of Jeff - Game Seven

As with the previous game, time and real life have taken their toll on my memory, so this film will have to do for summary.


And here are some pictures












Seven great fun games with a splendid opponent. Dragon Rampant is fun, fast and easy to understand with enough grit and chance to make it interesting and the  campaign gave enough structure without any heavy book-keeping - just what us Gamers Of A Certain Vintage like.

Random WotR pics

 From another game waaaay back in April.

More Lion Rampant Wars of the Roses





I *think* this was a three-player with Alessandro (shortly before he departed back to Tilea) and General B.

Dragon Rampant Campaign - The Valley of Jeff - Game Six

This game was played back in May!

Fortunately there's a video so I don't have to try and remember what happened!


I took a few pictures too













A great fun game that means we go to the last one of the campaign with either of us still able to snatch a win!

Zombies for Warmaster

I *was* hoping to debut an all new Vampire Counts army at Summer Sizzler next weekend, but that plan has been derailed...

Anyway I got some more Zombies done







Lovely Forest Dragon sculpts painted this way:
