Springing back into Action!

Whilst I have been quiet from a blogging point of view over the past couple of months, I certainly haven't been idle on the hobby front.

Most of the hobby attention has been on the upcoming game at Partizan, more of which in a future post.

Painting-wise, in the past couple of months, I have achieved the following:

  • Tatar command and lancers = 16 points
  • another janissary unit = 24 points
  • a vignette for the Janissaries = 6 points
  • Terrain - a full new terrain suite for the Eastern Renaissance game at Partizan = 50 points.

That's a total of 96 points, bringing my calendar year-to-date total to 185, which is certainly on track.

I will post in full about the preps for Partizan in a few days, but for now here are the Tatars which I recently completed:

In addition, Lisa and I have been on our travels a little, including a trip to Devon. We stayed in a hotel near Teignmouth, The Passage House, right on the Teign estuary. On the walls of the neighbouring inn, I spotted these weapons which may be of interest. One or two curious pieces amongst the lot:

We also had a few days in Stow-on-the-Wold in the Cotswolds, famous for it's ECW battle of course.




This doorway to the church has Tolkienesque overtones for sure!


As I mentioned, in a few days I will do a Partizan preparations post. Until then, all the best...

  3. I once cycled to Stow-on-the-Wold. That's the day I found out what a wold is: a very long hill.
