Rome - Republican Army: Triarii and War pigs

Manufacturer:   Xyston

Scale:   15mm

Hi,

on Thursday I got a mail from Krisztian from Hungary where he sent me some photos of the Republican Triarii he is painting for me at the moment.

Here is the result of his great painting job.

The unit will consist of 64 men and Krisztian already paintegd 8 of them a few months ago.

So these figures are to complete the unit.

A look at the front of the unit.

An impressive row of soldiers.

The unit all in one.

Where is the enemy?

Krisztian also got some war pigs with crew to paint and I´m really excited how this skirmish unit will act on the wargaming table.

The crew for the war pigs.

The war pigs.

The burned war pigs.

The whole skirmish unit.

I hope to get the figures very soon so that I can do the final basings.

Cheers

Hi,

time just passed away and there are more than two months gone since my last posting.

In fact I don´t have time to paint at the moment and so I decided to post some photos of a unit of Zouaves Krisztian from Hungary painted for me. 

He did a great job. 

Just have a look on his own website

The figures are for a new ACW-project Franz, Timmus, Christopher (aka Axebreaker) and I want to start as soon as Sam Mustafa´s "Longstreet" is available.

Cheers

Our trip to TACTICA 2013 in Hamburg

Yes, we did it for the third time now and again we had a lot of fun.

This weekend Nick (Moiterei-1984), Christopher (Bunkerhill), Franz and I had been to the TACTICA in Hamburg and it really was great. 

750 kilometers by car on friday, a whole day of buying figures, terrain and gaming on saturday and a few hours at the fair on sunday and again 750 kilometers back by car.

We talked to a lot of kind and interesting people, had the opportunity to meet the Perry´s and even also talked to them while they showed how to sculpt miniatures.

Besides traders like WarlordGames, MagisterMilitium, DaveThomas and many more there had been a lot of participation games for different rules.

Christopher (aka Axebreaker) and I fought a very exciting Impetus-battle against two other guys.

I also was able to join a game of "Muskets&Tomahawks" and I liked it very much.

There also had been a "bring&buy" and we got some bargains there.

Here are some pictures I took at the TACTICA. 

I´m sure you will find more pictures on the website of the TACTICA within the next days. 

Just have a look at

Nice build terrain everywhere.

The details on the gaming tables had been very cool.

Just some pictures for the fans of DystopianWars.

Though I don´t want to play this game I have to say that this gaming table could make me weak.

And another cool sight of the table.

The table already had been on TACTICA 2012, but it hasn´t lost its fascination.

The designer(s) of this table did a very good job.

And the last picture on DystopianWars.

I was able to buy this beautiful unit at the "bring&buy".

It´s unbelievable - I got it for 7 Euros. Yes, you got it right - 7 Euros.

A look into the showcase of DaveThomas.

Korean warriors of the Perrys.

The participation game of "Muskets&Tomahawks".

The figures were in 15mm scale.

Though I prefer 28mm the terrain and the figures looked very good and was a great inspiration for our own board.

The Redcoats awaiting the French attack.

The French are coming.

I sure will try the rules of "Muskets&Tomahawks". But Christopher and I will start it in 28mm.

Cheers

Mike
