FOR SALE- Testudo Miniatures Teutonic Range- Most of the Packs from the Range

Hi,

I'm selling my Testudo Miniatures Teutonic Knights, Poles, Lithuanians and Tartars etc as the range has been discontinued and I am now unable buy the miniatures I was banking on being able to purchase in order to put on what would have been a dream display game! I'm not very amused (to say the least!) as I was promised, even as then range had been discontinued that I would be able to buy more models to c0omplete the collection and even this fell through as I was bluntly told by the same guy that he was unable to do it after all!!! Fuming? Yes, I am!

Buyer Pays Postage.

I'm asking for £162 which is a current conversion from Euros into GBP (ie I'm losing out a little as the exchange rate was better when I bought the miniatures)

Payment Via Paypal goods and Services

Preferably a UK buyer unless you are willing to pay for overseas postage and insurance.

Sassanid Javelinmen


These Wargames Foundry Sassanid Javelinmen have been sitting on a shelf waiting for the grass tufts to arrive before being photographed. There's something about the way in which Wargames Foundry sculpts pop out of the moulds that is very pleasing when it comes to painting them up. They are almost always a pleasure to colour in.

I went for slightly muted but colourful tunicstrousers but decided to leave kulāf (or kolāh) an off white colour to bring some unity to the unit.

I'm committed to a display game of The Battle of Dyrrachium 1081 for the Battleground Wargames Show in November this year so I don't know when I'm going to get around to, it but I have to paint up 3 units of 32 mixed spear and bow, 3 x 16 Skirmishing Archers, 2 x 16 Skirmishing Slingers and another 2 x 16 Skirmishing Javelinmen! Ouch! 

All the photo's are "clickable" (Right click, "Open in new Tab", Enlarge)












Cheers for now.

More Fabulous AD Miniatures Third Century Roman Sculpts to Come From Footsore Miniatures!


Hi, with permission from the sculptor Adam Smith I'm now at liberty to show more of the soon to be moulded Third Century Romans from AD Miniatures released by Footsore Miniatures.

The sculpts have been updated from the range Adam put together with A&A Miniatures many a moon back. I think these sculpts stand up to even the Aventine Early Byzantine range, which for those familiar with this blog will know I really love. 

Here  you go!




Cheers for now.
