Army Painter Quickshade


I've just started using the Army Painter Quickshade, and I have to say I LOVE it. If you want a good looking on the table FAST this is the stuff to use, I'll defenately be using it for most of my wargaming projects form now on. Check out my video of it here on YouTube:

Baccus DBA Army

I recieved my Baccus DBA army through the post today, and I have to say I am amazed with the detail! I've used 6mm figures before from both Heroics & Ros and GHQ and while they both produce nice figures Baccus has to take first prize in my opinion.
Here are some photos of the figures so you can see the amazing detail for yourself:

Everything I got in the pack:
 Triarii Command:
 Only bit of flashing I found on any of the figures, shouldn't be too hard to fix:

 Triarii

 Equites:

 Hastatii/Principes


 Celtic Warband:
 Scutarii
 Celtic Cavalry:
 Velites:

 Balearic Slingers:



Stay tuned for more updates on this project...

New Projects!

I have just embarked on a project that will take me through (hopefully) years of exciting gaming, I have just started a 28mm Roman army taht i can use with Clash of Empires, War & Conquest, Hail Caesar etc. I currently have just over 100 Romans (unpainted, not even off their sprues) So I am pretty much set in terms of choice of units.

I am also about to start playing DBA... in 6mm! More on this to come...

I've had a HUGE clear out of my wargaming bits and pieces, sold off some rulebooks and minis ready to focus on my Romans and DBA. I am also getting into Bolt Action, I have a small Waffen SS force that I'm working on and will continue to do so until I have around 1000 pts.

Stay tuned for more info on DBA and CoE!

Playtesting

In the next month or so I hope to get in a few games of 'Flaming Aces' and 'Battle: War at sea' in order to properly test the rules and try to iron out any issues with them. If anyone wouldn't mind doing the same and letting me know what you guys think, I'd appreciate it!

Naval Rules Uploaded!

I have been working on my naval rules for a few days, the first draft has now been uploaded!

Naval Rules

I have just started work on a '1 page rules' set for naval gaming, a bit of a challenge to include everything yes, but I think I have captured the 'feel' of modern naval combat without going into too much detail, allowing for fast and furious play!

If you have any ideas on what sort of things I could include, please comment below!
