D Hindley started the topic Anglo Danish Command Bases in the forum Hail Caesar 1 year, 8 months ago

These little bases were put together as I took a breather for a week during The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge which I have been enjoying. The idea of punctuating the Thematic Byzantine posts with some smaller mini projects has really helped me keep focused on the main item and if the weather changes so I can get my bloomin’ varnishing done I…[Read more]

Thank you 🙂

This piece was sitting in my undercoated and primed cupboard since 2019 and was just begging to be completed. I have minor wargames butterfly tendencies, nothing compared to years ago, but still find it useful to remain on focus for major projects (Thematic Byzantines for the AHPC this year) by fliting with other periods etc from time to…[Read more]

My 48 hours of offsetting publishing on social media for the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge is now up and I can, at last, present to you the next unit in my growing Thematic Byzantine army.

This unit represents a body of soldiery living on the margins of the Themes. Lightly armoured “Light” cavalry used in the main for scouting though…[Read more]

FYI, you are almost certainly already aware; Crusader do a range of Thematic Byzantines too.

I can certainly understand your desire to get stuck into the army. They are definitely one of the most interesting looking armies out there.

I’ve got a Justinian army too which is still only half complete! LOL

Thanks guys.

My WRG rule booklets are buried in the cupboard where they shall stay LOL. It hives me a headache just to think about those rules! 🙂

It would definitely be great to know.

D Hindley started the topic Oil Washes on Historical Miniatures? in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 3 months ago

Hi,

I’ve been looking into using oil washes on 28mm Historical miniatures and have found a ton of stuff on Fantasy/Sci Fi stuff in terms of tutorials/vids. Either my google foo is very off or the tutorials/vids simply do not exist.

I’m aiming to use them for The Crimean War mini’s.

Does anyone know of any such tutorials/vids using Oil Washes on…[Read more]

I’m a little out of practice but I think they have come out quite well.

I’ve added in a couple of extra characters like the officer with his hand in the air, commanding the archers to loose and the Flamoularioi officer to ‘dress the ranks’.

You can see a whole load of extra pics of the unit as a whole and each individual stand from various angles on my blog…[Read more]

Thanks. I was under the impression that the fora was a thing of the past. I’m very pleased to see it continuing.

D Hindley started the topic Byzantine Heavies/Dismounted Bucellarri with Hand Painted Banner in the forum Hail Caesar 4 years, 1 month ago

I have absolutely enjoyed every moment of painting up this unit. They really are beautifully crafted miniatures and deserved all the TLC they received.

The last two ranks are currently drying after glossing and on the advice of meistro Redzed I’m going to be leaving the gloss to go off thoroughly for a few days before matting down.

I hope you…[Read more]

D Hindley started the topic Early Byzantine Skutatoi Shieldwall Front Rank in the forum Hail Caesar 4 years, 1 month ago

This project has been slowed a little as I’ve been feeling under the weather of late.

I’ve got two more complete ranks and a fourth on the way. It seems like such a long time since I posted anything I couldn’t resist and decided to post the front rank as they stand prior to them being based up properly to fit the rest of the army.
