Toy knights completed

I have finished painting my cousins' son's toy knights. All I have to do now is varnish them. I had debated dipping them to bring up the detail, but after a quick ask around the consensus was the brighter and hardier the better. Basically a 5 year old will not care about the detail. So once these are dry and the weather is a bit better I'll give them a couple of coats of varnish.

I must say I really enjoyed painting these.

The Green night leads his knights and their men at arms.

The Black knight and his evil henchmen and their followers.

This Easter

This Easter my hobby goals are to write up last weeks club game, complete my cousin's sons' knights and finish off the Conwy Wargames Club website I volunteered to build.

Battle Group Lokhvitsa Campaign ticket purchased

I enjoyed the Ponyri campaign last year at Stafford Games run by the Battle Group team and Plastic Soldier company. They are running another one this year 31st Oct to 1st Nov but instead of Kursk they have gone for a Barbarossa battle - Lokhvitsa.

It didn't take a lot of thought to book my room and purchase a ticket. I booked a room really early as last year I left it late and couldn't get a place nearby. This year I have learnt.

I am meeting up with my gaming buddy I left behind in Lincolnshire as an added bonus. We both went last year as Germans. I am staying German as I have (hopefully) most of the forces I need. My friend has jumped ship and is going Soviet, borrowing from another friend. His collection being 15mm and the campaign uses 20mm.

Considering the rush last year to get ready I'd better start working on the 450 point lists. I can take 1 or 2 forces, 1 for each day. Now do I go balanced or fun...
