A novel new offer - Mounted Officer and Cornet packs
 |
| Cornet from WLOA40 with a new right arm! (As Adam Murray) |
Over the years I have done many special deals for customers which have involved splitting packs to get various figures out. I have accumulated dozens of perfectly good cavalry models which cannot be sold in packs of three because one or more figures are missing.

Some artillery vignettes
I have been working on some artillery vignettes recently and have only just gotten round to photographing them for the blog.
Although we do not have specifically French gunners yet I shaved off the single shoulder strap from our RA1 AND RA3 GNW Russian gunners to create a heavy mortar crew for the French army in Flanders.
The base is dressed with various pieces from the siege equipment set including...
At last - painted Russian mounted Dragoons
These are masters. I had none of the new horses to hand but this shows how well they sit on the existing horse types.
I have painted six troopers which come in two different packs of three. They are painted as the Moskovski Dragoons who wore a white uniform faced white.
I also managed to get one of the Horse Grenadier codes painted too. The also look pretty smart.
They were great fun to paint and...

Breaking the surface
 |
| The yin and yang of constant travel - herbal tea and cakes |
No, I have not sunk to the bottom of the sea, missing without trace. I am acutely aware of my lack of blog output over the last week+. Unfortunately work commits have taken me around the square - London -Amsterdam -Stuttgart - Paris - London, by planes trains and automobiles meaning, naff all time to witter like a curmudgeon.

Donnybrook.. no, we didn't write this review!
 |
| White Death GNW Donnybrook at York in 2015 |
Sometimes life is just nice to you. When I opened Wargames Illustrated issue 359 an article about Donnybrook caught my eye... Why I Love Donnybrook! well, I had to read on!
An enthusiast for the rules has written a very glowing piece extolling the virtues of the rules and recommending them for periods well beyond the core 1660-1760 span (which is of course...
Discount on Warfare Miniatures for Partizan pre orders
 |
| WLOA58 & 60 Mounted dragoons |
In order to maintain my blood pressure at an adequate level I won't be trading with Warfare Miniatures at Partizan. Running a demo and a trade stand with two people is less than relaxing.

I am happy though to offer 10% discount on any items ordered in advance. Just pop me an email at wordtwister@hotmail.co.uk before Friday 18th letting me...
Warfare Miniatures GNW Russian Artillerists released
Finally I got round to painting the first two codes for the Russian Artillery. All three codes are available but I haven't managed to paint code RA3 (Gunners firing) yet.
The codes are in the shop right now and if anyone wants code RA3 just send a mail to wordtwister@hotmail.co.uk and I can add them to any order.
They painted up very well and I am delighted we've finally got these to market.

| Plenty of space to let my mind wander here....24.8062° N, 56.1254° E |
Being somewhat averse to the sun I have used much of my time this last week to catch up on written projects safely indoors and away from it. I realized that I have a lot of these projects.

| This bizarre battlefield duel did take place between two allies at 18.0193° N, 76.9758° W |
I spent a good chunk of the week organizing the October...
