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...
The Tatars are very nice, lovely looking unit. Look forward to your post on the game you are doing at Partizan.
ReplyDeleteYes, would like to know more about your Partizan plans :-)
ReplyDeleteI once cycled to Stow-on-the-Wold. That's the day I found out what a wold is: a very long hill.
ReplyDeleteLovely figures, interesting travels and a fascinating tolkienesque door!
