Partizan 2025 Pictures

I was at Partizan a couple of weeks ago as one of Morris and Chums helping James with his Mount Badon game. Although I spent a lot of time rolling dice and chatting with people I was allowed the occasional break to wander around, do some shopping and soak up the eye candy.

So here are the pictures I took on those trips around.

Big Old Horse and Musket game

6mm Wagram I think, more of which later...

Stamford Bridge

Indian Mutiny - Boondock Sayntes I believe I always love the scale and colour of their games.

Tyger, tyger, burning bright!

More tricorn based action

Stuka attack!

The Perry set up was as splendid as always

Back to Wagram - this is chum Steve Jones' work and looked amazing.

Wars of the Roses. A fictional "what if..." game
The chap on this game was a great example of making the effort to engage and talk to visitors - he picked this lovely example up to show off.

So that was just a small selection of the game that caught my eye when I had the camera handy. As always I clearly missed loads of great looking games.

Warmaster Spirit Host

At the Warmaster Winter Warmer  chum Alan very kindly gifted me the start of a Vampire Counts army. Not an army I'd ever have considered myself and I need more Warmaster armies like I need a hole in the head but on the other hand the models are absolutely gorgeous sculpts from Forest Dragon.

I resisted for a while, but then chat on the drive back from Wormaster got me musing on trying to paint a Warmaster Army as quickly as possible using speed paints and dry-brushing and corner cutting.

So I gave these ones a try. And the Aethermatic Blue Contrast paint I used took longer to dry than it did to apply. And basing was the longest part of the whole process. So now I just need to find quick ways to do the rest of the army...

Will they win any prizes? No. Do they look serviceable from a distance? Yes. Were they quick? Very.

Let's see where this takes us...

These are available from Alan at White Dragon Miniatures

Henry VI and Loyal Subject

 A vignette for Wars of the Roses games

I bought these for use in our Wars of the Roses Second St Albans game but other things took priority and so they languished part painted until now.

Contrast paints doing most of the work on these. The castings are "characterful" that is to say they don't match the quality of Perry or Paul Hicks, but as a vignette or bit of "set dressing" they're very jolly.

There's actually a third model in the set, a kneeling Earl of March, but I didn't need him for the game, so he remains unpainted as yet. The whole is based on a painting by Graham Turner.

You can buy a set from Athena Miniatures, here.
