Battle of Fulford Gate, Claymore, Sometime Ago!

Sometime back both myself and fellow SESWC club members put on The Forgotten Battle of Fulford Gate 1066 at Claymore Wargames Show. now, what year isn't exactly clear in my mind. What is clear is that Gripping Beast's contribution to filling out the armies was crucial as neither of us had managed to get the requisite number painted up in time! One of the perks for painting professionally for a very good miniature company.

To be honest I've often wondered what happened to the photographs of that game. I knew I had taken some but I could not find them on any of my laptops that were still chugging along, steam powered machines that they now are.

Here are what I could find of the pictures. i know there are many more out there so if you happen to have any please get in touch.

Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa 1212- Ongoing Project For Next Year

At present this is more of a collect the miniatures thing but with the Footsore Baron's War range a wee bit of a dream has been made possible. I'm planning long term, maybe a year or so from now, to put on a demo of The Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa 1212, also called Battle of Al-ʿIqāb in Arabic.

Watch this space as the collection begins to grow and starts to get 'coloured in'; but for now I'll leave with a pic from the comic book that has just dropped through my letterbox, 1212 Las Navas de Tolosa.

The book is available from amazon UK HERE!

Here are a few pics.....

I'm back! Again! Is there anybody still out there?

Hi folks,

No nice pics for the moment as I've been very busy with both my parents being very ill. I don't think I've picked up a brush in a few years!! i'm now sorting a new studio which sounds simple right? not so! you should know better as a wargamer/miniature collector!! We hoard, not just miniatures and paints but just stuff. Yeah, stuff. The type of thing where you end up raiding the local Lidl stores surroundings because they have just the right sort of wooden chip to make excellent realistic rocks!

Anyway, I'm currently sorting all of the studio out- which includes putting miniatures back in the correct boxes (a very disheartening task) and sorting out all of the other gumph.

This is really a long winded way of saying that I have returned to the hobby and soon will be painting again so watch this space. That is, if people still tend to gander at Blogs?

Cheers.
