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...
And, there's more! Warfare Minis Guest Gallery 3
Never did I realize when I started this little review how many painters have actually sent me pictures of there work with Warfare Miniatures.
 |
| Dannie Fogleman's Saxons - I think he painted every darn one of them! |
I should really be surprised because we've sold about 20,000 packs since we started so there are a few out there in Wargames Land.

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.
Yet more nice work chaps! Warfare minis Guest Gallery 2

| Mark Allen's work of art - King William III |
I enjoyed the first compilation of Warfare work by other painters and knew I had plenty of other examples so here is a part 2 to this little series of work by gamers and painters I admire and which show off Warfare Miniatures and the period with both imagination and creativity.

Warfare GNW R12 Russian musketeers marching
A close in look at this code which is already proving pretty popular. As per usual we have 5 variants based on two body dollies and five different heads.
The arm comes in two options - bayonet fix and bayonet removed.
I chose to paint these in all green uniforms and I will use them for the Preobrazhenskoi Guards. Back to the old arguments - who is right and who is wrong, regarding uniform colours...

Nice work chaps! Warfare Minis Guest Gallery 1
Note: when I first got the idea to do this post I thought it might be a one off. In the end I had enough photos (with many left over) to do a series of 5 posts. I really enjoyed looking at what gamers and painters have done with range.....

Some time to reflect
 |
| 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.

I spent a good chunk of the week organizing the October...
Battle for Britain - inside the Caribbean forces
 |
| Creole infantry in action! |
The Caribbean theatre started as a one off idea but the more I researched it the more I got hooked by the scope, scale and generally bizarre nature of what the European superpowers got up to there.
Our first outing centres on Jamaica - previously Spanish, now English and very recently declared for King James and not King William. Challenging possession of the island is an...
The Battle for Britain 1693 The fighting begins...
 |
| Kirke's arrival at Santa Marta - The Creole Regiment was already in position |
Of course I have already blogged briefly on the topic of our 1693 Battle for Britain adventures but not really given any detailed insight into the battles. The reason was simple. I had a mass of data to sift through and organize and my time between the beginning of April (when we did it) and now has been filled with...
Solidifying the Ghost Army Part 5 - How far can you get in a week?

| A selection of the Ghost Army in the field |
Something I am frequently asked is "how do you manage to be so productive?". The answer is quite simple. I don't have any spare time.

My day job keeps me away from home about 180 days per year on average. I long ago abandoned my portable painting kit which included about two dozen little Vallejo bottles carried around with my...
Solidifying the Ghost Army 4 - Weathering the Veterans
 |
| Three steps: Painted, Washed down, Weathered - bases unfinished |
The look I wanted to get with these models was a faded, dirty, washed out effect. They have been in the field for over two years without proper resupply from home. If a parade ground look ever existed in the early 18th century which I doubt, these chaps are as far away from that as is possible. For those interested, a tip I would offer...
Solidifying the Ghost Army Part 3 Åke Öberg’s Vikingar

| Åke Öberg’s Vikingar - the raw material - two conversions and three 're-equipped' models |
 |
| The finished unit -Åke Öberg’s Vikingar |
The unit is Veteran under Donnybrook classification and equipped with heavy weapons, in this case battle axes. They are known in my collection as Sergeant Åke Öberg’s Vikingar. His little command are formidable men from the northern provinces of Sweden. Almost inured to...
