Welcome / Bienvenu

This blog drags together, into one swirling maelstrom of crackling energy, my various wargames interests. There are links on the top right to my other blogs, each more calmly dedicated to one particular gaming universe.

I aim to post about once a week, and I have decided in 2026 to shift the focus of the blog from showing isolated painted figures, to taking photos of figures in action, a sort of mostly-photo AAR.

The pages at the top of the blog contain historical information on the periods that interest me. They are primarily an aid to my poor memory, and not meant to be in any way exhaustive, nor necessarily correct.

I hope this blog offers you much enjoyment and some inspiration !

Now, I know that global warming has been unscientifically proven to No Longer Be a Thing, just as I know that the only reason Alexander the Great / The Mongols / Napoleon / George Michael didn't conquer the entire world is because it is flat and they went so far they nearly fell off the edge, got a real big fright and scurried home.

That said, it is a little bit hot outside, I first thought.  

Then it was pointed out to me that hot is a relative term and since the temperature is more elevated inside a boiling kettle (the science is solid), it is therefore not hot outside at all.

Wow, can't argue with that.  Amazed I didn't think of it before.

So for some strange reason not at all related to global warming, I was lacking tonight the energy to paint 28mm figures, I have run out of 6mm whilst waiting for my Baccus order, and didn't fancy starting up my 15mm projects with those two other scales pending.

I then noticed two hills trying to hide in one corner of my painting desk.  Not doing a very good job of it, because they were that unlikely bright green colour, yes, you know the one I am talking about.

Yes, that green.  My camera lens actually toned it down (a lot),

fearing I imagine for your eyesight


 

I oft bemoan my lack of decent hills, and decided it would be a brainless enough task for a less-hot-than-inside-a-boiling-kettle evening.

A couple of hours later (wow, paint dries quick at these temperatures !), hey presto.  I'd started out intending to do a bit of a slap job, and am actually rather pleased by the result.


 See you around, I mean, a-flat.
