Currently I have nothing on the painting table - I am a slave to the keyboard I'm afraid...  :(

My painting table is a tad limited in access & availability at the moment, so I've 'tendered' out what I need sorting to a very accomplished chap  :)

My new Company ideas have headed off to the Gothic realm, almost from the first moment I got the HVF expansion.

* Cult of Apophis - an Egyptian sect to oppose the Servants of Ra, dark evil deity types with undead and/or enslaved Egyptian warriors and Sand Worms. And even some potential for some mummy-on-mummy action too. Still in figures-collection stage and creative note-writing, but some odd fantasy types and beasties already bought and primed.

* Grand-Duchess Estrella's Lifeguards - a Hapsburg all-female military unit, aiming to safeguard the old Empire from threats within and without. Using the Hinterland Miniatures for these ladies, and some notes already drafted too.

* Neo-Hussite 'Prokop' Company - from the 'Order of the Chalice', the separatist movement wanting free government for all Czechs, Bohemians, Moravians & Slovaks. A band of adventurers directed eastwards to discover what actually goes on in Carpathia, Ruthenia & Transylvania. Mix of figures collected so far awaiting some modifications to resemble the 'Hussite' manners and methods of fighting these folks have adopted.

Prepping 15 mm Tarzan, Jane (in 'jungle gear,') and nine "Great Apes."

I would have paint on them but for a late lunch (2 hours of talk) with war gamers (sold some 25 mm Spanish and Moros for SAW,) and taking Dog to Vet (another two hours since it is quite a ways away - but worth it as Vet is family friend,) for inoculations (including 11 months and 29 days since his last one rabies!) and now fixing dinner before solo Nursing Home visit for Mom-in-Law...

Gracias,

Glenn

I have just a few finishing touches to add to my Royal Navy landing party (Copplestone). Now that we have an official RN list in SDRS, I'd be doing myself an injustice if I didn't convert a flamethrower team and purchase a diver model (Ratnik) and a Chinese cook model too.

I also have terracotta basecoats on a load of Renegade warring states Chinese. The points costs for Terracotta warriors (SDRS again) are a lot higher than I had envisaged so I have more than twice as many as I need; I may offer some for trade in the trade forum at some point.

We were surprised at the cost of the Terracotta warriors as well, but they are tough hombres  :D

Craig,

Hopefully you should have a draft on the Prokop Company (the Neo-Hussites) plus an entry from the Company Journal, waiting in your inbox for your perusal and thoughts.

I am sorely pressed for time at the present, and have been forced to contract out some brushwork. I am currently waiting (and waiting) for two companies to be completed:

1. My own Company of German archaeologists in the employ of Thule: Forschungsgruppe. Figures from West Wind (GHM0010, GHM0005, GHM0003) and Crocodile Games (WGE-014a, b, c, and/or d).

The Company is here: http://wrgmr.com/pdfs/forschungsgruppe.pdf
EDIT: This Company has now been updated to make it compatible with all of the changes published in SDRS, and its points have been checked with Lady Kate's Marvellous Maniacal Enumerator. The Bow of Aten has been modified and double-checked with Kate's most excellent---sorry, marvelous---custom points widget. If you have loaded the PDF prior to this edit, reload then refresh your browser.


2. Thule's Totenkopf Battalion (HVF). This Company features Andrew May's superb Meridian Miniatures, in this case great-coated, gasmasked, pickelhaube-wearing soldiers led by Oberst Ilsa Klimt, personified by Raging Heroes' Ivanka Kurganova.

Ilsa/Ivanka can be found here:

I was talking aloud to myself. A habit of the old: they choose the wisest person present to speak to; the long explanations needed by the young are wearying.

Something we shall look forwards to seeing Mike.

Ilsa, being the brutal sister of Gustav perchance? She always was a 'handful' after growing up in a house with seven older brothers  :D Her father eventually had her committed and subjected to this new electrical shock therapy to see if it could not make her more ladylike. It didn't...

Thanks for Ilsa's family history, Craig. Frankly, I thought she rose to her present position because of her huge.....tracts of land.  lol
