Epiphany

 

 
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King, and God, and Sacrifice;
Heav’n sings Hallelujah:
Hallelujah the earth replies.
Lyrics from my favourite carol “ We Three Kings!”

Bigger is better

 As I am spending most of my time isolating in my room l brought my paints through-


I tried 28mm figures but was a tad tired for it so out came the 54mm and 60mm. I also did a few simple head swop conversions which worked well. I am trying to keep busy.

Unboxing etc.

 I’m doing away thanks. A tad under the weather with achy limbs and odd stuffy nose. I appreciated your kind comments very much.

On Monday I unboxed a lucky dip I had bought, recorded the figures by photos and that was about all I felt like. Here they are, some interesting pieces and restoration projects for the coming months…

In camp for ten days.

 We have just had our pcr test results back after taking the tests yesterday afternoon. The centre staff were so pleasant and helpful and this helped with the stress of it all. We were warned results could take 72 hours but they were back in less than 24 hours.

So I have Covid as does my middle daughter but the oldest doesn’t . So l am confined to barracks, avoiding my eldest band getting my head round it all. No idea where we got it, go out into company rarely and am very vary. Just shops locally and a cafe once a week.

Charging into 2022

 A sunny day here lent itself to a wee shed rummage. With the mantra “ Buy less, bought enough,play more!” reverberating around my head in a positive way, l found what I was looking for-


These figures were sent for December 2021 and having been checked were stored away . They are 1807 uniform Swedes and were configured using the Charge , Advanced Game organisation as follows-

1 infantry regiment, 1 light infantry battalion, 1 cavalry regiment and an artillery battery.

They will comprise one army for the forthcoming Charge project. Enough to deploy on my table and sufficient for a small but tactically interesting game. Here , in case you have forgotten, is the organisation for an infantry regiment-


The next thing to do is to choose which units to use as painting reference and flag information. The plan, as it stands, is to probably get these professionally painted. I need now to work on a back story for this Swedishesque Duchy, characters and diverse plans…

I am open to suggestions for the above names, backstory and characters as ever.
