Lady Godiva

I got this model some years ago with a subscription to Wargames Illustrated.

She came with the nude Godiva model I painted as Epona for OGAM. This model represents the Lady as the pious Dark Age woman she actually was.

Nice little model that will make a good objective or bit of set dressing for a Dark Age game.

Nemean Lion for OGAM

I spotted this model a little while ago on Bad Squiddo's website and thought he'd make a good Nemean Lion for Of Gods and Mortals games

He's a reasonably large lad as you can see. Ideal for Hercules to wrestle with.

Just need to buy a Hercules now.

Private Widdle in Disguise

Based on the character played by Charles Hawtrey in Carry on Up the Khyber this model is from Artizan and comes with the Khazi and Bungit Din models I painted a while ago.

My paint job has made him look rather younger than Hawtry did as Pvt. Widdle

War of the Roses Mounted Men at Arms

 Five Perry plastic knights

A bugger to photograph as a group!

Here's a Tudor (Owen or Jasper) leading them.

Need a few more for a Never Mind the Billhooks unit.

More War of the Roses Billmen

 Ploughing on with the Perry plastics another unit of billmen

More archers next

Perry Plastic Afghan Tribesmen

 I painted twelve of the Perry plastic Pathans.

Lovely models, painted quick and dirty with mostly washes and some contrast paints.

Another TMWWBK unit finished.

Afghan Scenery

 A couple of people pointed out that the Ooknall valley in my last game was a little bereft of cover for the attacking Pathans.

So I've taken steps to remedy that.

First some walls

These two were made by mixing some small stones with PVA and water then putting them in a mould shape made from foam core lined with greaseproof paper.

When dry (and you need to wait a few days) peel off the paper. Then I based them on lolly sticks and painted with various tester pots. They're actually more beige/brown in RL than these pictures appear)

This next wall was made by just supegluing down layers of small stones. Laborious and sticky.

Then painted the same way.

But a bit more fitting the tumbledown aesthetic of my minds eye view of the NWF.

Here's a couple of Pathans lurking in cover.

I shall make more of these.

Next up some generic rocky outcrops.

Made from bark chips liberated from a playground a while ago. Sorry kids.

Hot glued down to some lino floor tiles then painted with tester pots.

Again they look lighter and greyer than they are.

Now with added lurkers.

Again more of these needed.

Along with a few more wooded areas and some "broken ground"
