A New Project ?

While re-basing the Kolanhomm army and others stuff I have started reading about the American War of Independence and the alternate scales that can be played using V&B.

Scope for another new period maybe ?

New Year, New Promises

2015 is going to see a change in my habits.

The lead pile has declined so there will less painting and more time to blog instead.

 

I will definitely go back to my Seven Years War figures and finish re-basing them for V&B.

 

I feel a new project on the horizon as well …

 

Re-Starting Seven Years War

Although I've been gaming with metal figures for over 35 years, the SYW never really interested me until recently.

Back in 2008 the idea of Imagi-Nations inspired me so I painted two contingents - Prussian and Swedes - along with several battalions and regiments of my own Grand Duchy of Kolanhomm. To this was added several battalions of Austrians, British and Saxons.

The after one battle however the project stalled for five years because the rules I was using didn't give the sort of game I wanted. Looking to clear some space I sold the Swedes and put the rest away until inspiration grabbed me again.

Then I found the Volley & Bayonet rules so I went back to my figures at the beginning of this year. The 2/3 scale is tempting but I've decided to go full scale, so I'm rebasing like mad and hopefully I'll have enough for a first game in April
