Terrain - more Russian style buildings

 Today should have been the monthly games meet , but the stormy weather has put paid to that with winds 50mph -80 mph plus and trees down on some roads , we made a decision to pull it . So that means some extra painting time .  I have a few terrain things to finish up for the game at the Battleground show at the end of November so I thought I would get those done .

These are prints from Battle Honours 3d which paint up nicely. I had hit them with a dark brown / black rattle can undercoat, so just set up with various dry brushed colours to lighten (tan earth, desert yellow , Iraqi sand and some light olive green mixed in )  , then pick out the door and window frames . I also completed the basing on the railway points I had picked up . So that’s another job done 

 

That gives me 4 buildings plus a barn with fencing and scatter . I fancy scratch building some kind of railway building in due course.

Gaming - Minden at Partizan with the Kreigspielers

 Today was the usual trip to The Other Partizan. Today was playing with the good guys from The League of Extraordinary Kreigspielers and the battle of Minden , with what is a fantastic collection curated by Steve L . The opportunity to play with Steve’s incredible armies is not to be given up lightly . The rules used are Honours of War with house tweaks age adaptations

I had the main French cavalry- you know the ones about to be harassed by British infantry . 

 Cavalry  - loads of it .. 

 

 

 

A great time was had , and a draw secured - result 

The show was busy as always with some fine looking games as always , though I only had a very quick rush round early in the day
