Retained Troopers (First Squad)

Some Old Retained Troopers from Alternative Armies

As some background to the colour scheme I've used here, back in the days when Ebay was only an auction site for amateurs, I picked up a few 28mm versions of these lads, all sprayed a golden colour with a couple of highlights. I always meant to repaint them but never got round to it and they had quite a few battles. So when I found their little brothers in my lead pile it was obvious I had to replicate the colour scheme!

Happy the way they have come out, especially how well the backpacks have appeared!

15mm Walls

Not the most exciting subject matter, but I thought I'd show my painting of TT Combat's 15mm mdf walls. Pretty solid with an easy paint job. The only extra might be a light spray of a textured spray paint to avoid the "long and flat" mdf  surface.

Height wise they are well set for figures shooting over. They are obviously pretty durable being mdf as well!

New Adventurers

Whilst paintng other projects I've started adding the odd one or two figures from the pile to dab at during the process. It help keep interest up and gets a few characters ready for play.

The Trouble with Orcs (Part 3)

Orc 3, and you're not going to get more classivc than a 1980's Grenadier Orc. The higher lead content from this era means I lost count of how many times the halbard blade came off (OK, 4 if you're asking and I know only the first one counts againt the metal!)
