Repairs, renovations and rebasing

I spent much of today outdoors or in the shed, sorting out the 40mm figures in various ways. Click on the photos to enlarge them and see them better.



Currently looking at these rules as a basis for the games using the 40mm figures.

  1. You’ve been very productive Alan. That’s a lot to get through in a short time.

    I’d love to hear more about a Grim Panoply. I love the name. Anything with Grim in it is a winner in my books. 😉

    1. It helps me in lockdown to be busy and get lost in a project. For rules, see my reply below.

  2. G'Day Alan, Ditto re the rules. Can you advise if they are still available and if so, where one can obtain them? Cheers Greg (Delta Coy)

    1. The rules were never published to my knowledge, You could ask Phil Olley about them. I was lucky enough to get a set years ago when I took part in a game at his place. If you look on his blog you will see that he used them recently for his Pils Holstein game. I got them in 2006 and they were a work in progress at the time.

    2. Spoke with Phil, you're correct they were never published. As you say, he's play testing them with his Pils Holstein games and does intend to publish them sometime in the future. Cheers Greg

    3. I will stop using them directly as it seems the right and proper thing to do.

  3. Great collection of figures - the flags are looking splendid; what did you treat them with?

    1. My daughter printed them on her printed, I glued them with pva to a steel pike and when dry painted them in pva glue to seal them. They are big but I like the spectacular look.

      It worked well though. You have a great weekend too.

  5. I have the same problem Alan re re-basing. I've lost count of how many times I've rebased my 54mm Zulu War and ECW collections. You 40mm look fantastic! Best wishes, Anthony.
