Swordpoint Rise of Rome Supplement pdf Available

This from Gripping Beast.....

New SWORDPOINT Rise of Rome supplement available now from our website as a PDF download!
I know! We have finally arrived screaming into the digital age; only ten years behind everyone else but Lord S said he didn't think the internet was 'a thing' and that it wouldn't catch on (he said this again last week too).
Anyway, this new SWORDPOINT supplement covers the rise of Rome from a tiny village to Masters of Italy (and a lot of other places too). It has 12 Army Lists (new ones and expanded versions of ones in Classical Armies), 10 new scenarios and even a mini board game.

Available from Gripping Beast HERE!

Agincourt 1415 Miniature Complete with Heraldry and Heraldic Banner

I'm obsessed about the Hundred Years War. I always have been since I was a child. I don't even know why! OK, as a wargamer I know why; I find it fascinating, alluring, and visually captivating.

I've been putting together a Warhammer Ancient Battles Hundred Years War English army from an army that has been rebased so many times it will not recover in terms of chips and damage. whilst not destroyed, I do want to make an effort to start again and Agincourt is just so iconic as a medieval battle, ergo the heraldic information much more accessible without combing tomes hidden in the deep dark vaults of the British Library, sadly unavailable to me. I hope to cover first, the Perry packs with the heraldry sculpted on as this will serve to give me a gauge as to just how large the charges etc need to be on the fields on the actual miniatures. I'm also endeavoring to paint up the heraldic banners too with both miniatures temporarily based. Eventually they will serve as the English battles at Agincourt! 

This will be done simultaneously as I crack on with my other projects so there's going to be plenty to see over the next few months/years.
