Thanx, yes the base comes with the bombard. But you can probably build it without the base.

...part of the campaign?

No, just another testgame. I am quite happy with the rules so far, but some units need a little bit more testing...;)

Sounds good, would be interesting to have a look when you are done with the tweaking :)

Loved the little table - excellent work with "scenery" - it was more than just terrain.

Got some more papal troops painted today.






Mixed some swiss heads in. Biutifull little sculpts...;)



So that should be enough for a 16 men pike unit.
Need more shotte troopers now... :D

Cheers,
Don

Did a test build up for the Do or Dice in the end of the week.
And took a few pics of the plastic madness so far... :D





Not the best pic taking weather today...





The papal troops wont be ready till the end of the week. Have to do lots of small stuff, like sheep and pigs...
And a camp.

Cheers,
Don

I'm really enjoying watching your progress.  I cant believe how much you accomplished in such a short time.  Keep it up.

Glad you like it...:)
Hope that the people at the convention will have fun...

Builded a few artillery-men before breakfast.
Plundering an ACW plastic sprue and collected a few heads from the perry ansars.



Fits pretty well togehter, me thinks...:)

Don

Top marks as usual.
It's nothing, sir. Just a burn from a ray gun.

Finished more papal pike today. Now with basing and some small flags, in the tradition of Frank Becker.



Edit:

I printed some more flags...:)



Not the most professional way, but at least I have some colours for my pike units.. :).

Cheers,
Don

Lovely work once again!

Any info if the Perry plastic parts can be obtained per sprue or such (don't want to buy a whole box just to get few arms for the artillerymen... yes, I'm going to nick your idea)

Excellent 'Frankenstein' work on the artillerymen. They work really well.

Ah, the joy of plastic  :-* :-*

 ;)

The pikemen look great.
