Wonderful army with a great selection of troops... very nicely painted, I might add.

The more I see of the Black Pyramid minis, the more I like them.

Looking forward to updates!   ;D

Fantastic Mors! Very impressive indeed and hope to see these in the flesh one day.  :-* :-*

Unfortunately I haven't added a steam lancer to my forces yet but its on the list.

The horses are Mage Knight mounts (from the Whirlwind series), sometimes available from 'singles' stores such as Troll & Toad or Noble Knight Games in the US.


Not bloody often though :)

Actually the Black Pyramid troops are not as I originally painted them, had a bit of  nightmare with the spray varnish and had to give all the main colours an ink wash to recover them, pretty much obscures the 3 layers of shading! Shortly afterwards dropped the Steam Lancer officer snapping his arm off which now requires pinning and then I knocked a tub of flock over the carpet.Was not best pleased!
Some of the bases need finishing too.

Is Lord Chelmsford's expedition heading anywhere near the Magellan Valley (Mars)?  That dashed fool Bond has been making things difficult up there  http://www.durhamwargames.co.uk/battle_reports/2010/04/index.asp

Mars is definately on the agenda. Currently X Co 24th and 17th Steam Lancers are on there way to the newly discovered continent of Atlantis , after sorting out a little probem there they will return to England and meet up with the other units at Chobham to be reviewed by HM the Queen (gawd bless 'er). Venus is the first planet due for a visit , depending how long it takes consolidate our possesions from the dominant German forces there , HMAS Prince Albert will then procede to Mars with a possible sortie on Mercury first and then onto so far indiscovered planets across the aether. Love the battle report you have, particularly like the colour scheme on the Ironclad tractor , my British scout tanks are in green but might do the tractor in it too now rather the black as I had planned.

Thanks for all your comments guys

Absolutely smashing force you have there Mors! I think a  :o is in order!

And good to hear that they're en route to Atlantis New Cornwall, to be honest the forces of Her Imperial Majesty (Gawd bless 'er) seem a bit bogged down there; they need fresh tea and a jolly good bucking up I feel.

Nice work Mors. I really must pull my finger out and add some more units to my forces.
