Biting the bullet

 Last night saw another zoom game hosted by Jon, this time set in Sumer. A most enjoyable time was had by all. Here is a screenshot-

I attempted to battle for my Lugal, Stephen against our foes. If you want to know what happened l am sure Jon will post an account very soon..
This morning, inspired by last night, I rebased ( finally I hear you say) my New Kingdom Egyptians. I have gone for BIG BASES-



These l will use with Big Base DBA, Neil Thomas, Basic Impetus and hopefully some home grown rules. I will let the glue dry properly before finishing the bases, possibly just paint, possibly ballast , we will see…

  6. I've dug out my Egyptians for small DBA in 15mm. We'll see if a game results. Nice to see some Lamming. I remember how impressed I was with Lamming figures when they first came out. I still have a number in various armies.

    1. Glad to hear that re DBA. Lamming are great and available to buy newly cast from here- https://www.lammingminiatures.com/
      P.s all mine are original though but I will probably need to but some reinforcements/ opposition.

  7. They look good on the big bases. And less to move.
