TTFN

Thanks to all those who have checked in over the last couple of years.  3400 views as of this morning.

Following the healing of my fracture and medical upgrade on Friday, the wheels have turned quite fast and yesterday I was informed that my Afghan flight was booked for midnight tonight.

As a result, updates will be negligible however I will view everyone else's blogs as time allows.

The hobby stockpile has already started though!  My order for Dystopian Legions Col MacDonald has just been sent in.  If you haven't twigged despite several of my previous posts...I LOVE THIS MODEL!

Dystopian Legions Painted Previews

Apparently this is the upcoming box art for some of the vehicles.  These are from the Ilnanonefasto Modelling Facebook Page.  

The Britannian APC is known as The Tea Caddy and there seems to be a few variations judging by the photos.

And check out the Prussian Faust.  Nice size compared to the GW figure next to it.

The figures may be larger than the "norm" but the vehicles are looking good.

Obsession!!

Am I in need of help? *

More Praetorians bought equals bigger backlog!

Current production line.

 New arrivals plus Dystopian Legions plus Ultramarine Assault Company Command Squad (no game rules but I was bored) plus two new Night Lords utilising Raptor parts.

*  Question is rhetorical.  Any attempts to cure me of my madness WILL be treated with a form of  haughty derision that Sheldon Cooper can only dream of delivering.

A possible flaw in the plan!!!

I tentatively picked up the KOB Riflemen box set before committing to the Dystopian Legions Starter set.  The models themselves are decent sculpts but by crikey, these fellows are tall compared to the GW Praetorians or even Vic Lamb's sci-fi Victorians!

Purists may object to such a variation in scale.  I can still see myself picking up the range however. After all, I'm 5ft 7in and there are people at work who tower over me.  In addition Col MacDonald is, for me, an absolute must buy model.  The armoured vehicles should be able to fit in as well.  In their most recent update from the Reading wargames show, Spartan apparently previewed Britannian artillery but there are no photos as of yet.

Dystopian Legions Updates

This will take up some of my money soon....and the fella in the photo below had better be Britannian!  A general in a motorised bathchair.  I just know that underneath that blanket will be a bandaged gout ridden foot from too much port and jellied pig's trotters!

Highlanders getting Heavy

Due to a fracture obtained during pre-Deployment training my departure has been delayed for around a month. As a result I have had time to paint up up some more Highlanders and have a reason to test the camera on my new tablet. Resolution not fantastic but I'll do some more playing around. Gunners by Victoria Lamb Miniatures, Gatling Gun by Curious Constructs. Wonder if these models will transfer across to Dystopian Legions?

Also due is the Praetorian Land Rover WMIK I've knocked up using an Airfix kit!  I'll probably wait until that has been painted.

Well, received an e-mail from Spartan Games  today.  I need to see more pictures of the individual models but the contents of the starter set appear tempting (Kingdom of Britannia of course).
