I had planned on a photo essay for today’s post, but in reviewing the photos from Saturday’s work I couldn’t find enough good<\/em> photos to make it work (I really need to get a good camera setup for shop work, etc.)<\/p>\n

So, rather than leaving you with nothing, I’ll post the best, related, photo from the project:<\/p>\n

MEN AT ARMS IN CHAINMAIL – 3453 Halbardier, standing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It has been a long while since we last cast any of the 25mm Medieval figures; as usual, I’m easily distracted by figures I’ve not cast in a while, so…<\/p>\n

I decided to add cast some extra figures for myself while I was filling customer\u00a0 orders. When it comes to Medieval war games my default has always been Chainmail<\/strong><\/em> with 30mm figures. It has been a long time since my last game, mainly because I don’t have enough painted figures in my personal collection. So, my current idea is to do something that requires about 100<\/em> figures; with rules something along the lines of One-Hour Wargames<\/strong><\/em> or The Portable Wargame<\/strong><\/em>. I’m fairly certain that I want to do the game on a grid, so perhaps a blend of the two with a dash of Morschauser<\/em> thrown in.<\/p>\n

I’ll be going with a Red<\/span><\/strong> vs. Blue<\/span><\/strong> theme, mainly because it will make the armies pretty much generic, and will take a lot of thought out painting. These Medieval figures are fairly easy and quick to paint. The glossy, 3453 Halbardier<\/em>, figure in the foreground too less than 10 minutes to paint. The coloring and paint style is copied from some of his 30mm big brothers that I have in my collection. Right now, I’m thinking these will go on the table as they are (gloss finish, no further basing of flock) as individual figures.<\/p>\n

What does all this mean for you? Well, if you have an interest in 25mm Medieval figures; it means that we will be re-moulding the figures. I still nee to inventory, patterns and masters to know if we can do the entire range, or if we will need to drop any figures. I do know that I’ll be adding a horse. One which the riders fit a bit better than any of the standard<\/em> 25mm horses. It might not be heavy enough, but it will work for starters. I’ve started re-mastering one of the older, smaller 25mm horses and I’m pretty sure we can make an alternate version that can be made to look like a heavier horse and still accommodate the mounted figures. Look for further announcements once I get the master inventoried; expect some discounts on these figures to go along with the re-moulding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
