It's History, there's no hurry: Every adventure starts with the French

http://firestorm99.blogspot.com/2013/05/every-adventure-starts-with-french.html

It's History, there's no hurry. Friday, May 3, 2013. Every adventure starts with the French. It seems to be a developing trend that whenever I begin a project related to the World Wars that I always start with the French. Any way, I ended up painting a first test model to see if I could get the uniform colour right. The Warlord games figures are a lot better then I expect. The prices are pretty good and supply is no issue (I'm looking at you Crusader Miniatures). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Kevin...

It's History, there's no hurry: #02 Infinity Post

http://firestorm99.blogspot.com/2012/01/02-infinity-post.html

It's History, there's no hurry. Monday, January 30, 2012. I've been rather productive over the last few days, but this mostly boils down to the simple fact that I have time and four seasons of BBC's fantastic show QI, hosted by Steven Fry, of Monty Python fame. Anyway, on to pictures! The beard on this model is fantastic, very fun and easy to paint as a ginger. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The dreaded 20 questions post. Ive been rather productive over the last few days, b...

It's History, there's no hurry: July 2012

http://firestorm99.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

It's History, there's no hurry. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Rapid Fire Review: All The King's Men 18th Century Playing Cards. Annnd coming out from the left wing, a strange and what would appear to be out of place review of non-wargaming material.". Ah, but you see, that would be completely incorrect. Yes, a slightly out of the blue sort of blog post, but I need to get back into the swing of things somehow. What kind of connection do they have with wargaming? His ruleset (All the King's Men) uses a card deck...

It's History, there's no hurry: March 2013

http://firestorm99.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

It's History, there's no hurry. Sunday, March 17, 2013. 10,000 View mark and another model finished! I have, after five years hit the 10,000 view mark for this blog. That would equate about 2,000 a year, but I have a sinking feeling that nobody read this blog for its first three or so years of existence. In any case, its a good feeling to hit this small milestone. I hope to have the updates coming out more regularly and get back to painting with greater frequency. Monday, March 11, 2013. I specifically o...

It's History, there's no hurry: ImagiNation: Secret Project #2

http://firestorm99.blogspot.com/2012/11/imagination-secret-project-2.html

It's History, there's no hurry. Saturday, November 3, 2012. ImagiNation: Secret Project #2. Finally I can reveal the completed model: "Arch Bishop Ambroise de Chabichou du Poitou". The newest member of the Grand Duchy of Gourmandie. I tried to match the colours used in the different uniforms of the Grand Duchy of Gourmandie. This model is HUGE! Most certainly a 30-32mm one. It has massive "pitchers mound" syndrome going on. I was going to dremel down the bottom of the figure, but was a bit unsure...Yep, ...

It's History, there's no hurry: Founding a Village (Terrain WIP)

http://firestorm99.blogspot.com/2013/03/founding-village-terrain-wip.html

It's History, there's no hurry. Wednesday, March 6, 2013. Founding a Village (Terrain WIP). Ahhh, finally getting around to putting up another post on this now rather neglected blog. As per my usual standard, I've stuck to my guns and am still a mercurial painter. After a pretty impressive outburst of painting and modelling from September to November of 2012, I've sunk back into my always oppressive funk and have not really touched any of my wargaming stuff since then. Labels: 28mm World War Two. It seem...

It's History, there's no hurry: January 2013

http://firestorm99.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

It's History, there's no hurry. Sunday, January 13, 2013. X-Wing Kessel Run, or how I won myself a Slave. One. I am still alive! Life had caught up to me a little bit over the last months I haven't really painted a whole lot since my last post. A couple of orders arrived over this time, some more ImagiNation stuff from Front Rank. A godless amount of buildings from Pegasus Hobbies to start fleshing out my planned ImagiNation village and finally my Kickstarter pledge ( Bushido. For the TIEs. My choice...

It's History, there's no hurry: French Toast

http://firestorm99.blogspot.com/2011/05/french-toast.html

It's History, there's no hurry. Wednesday, May 11, 2011. The Canadian and French in all of their glory. Smaller in number, German stormtroopers are destructive in close quarters. The two boards with added tank carnage for fun. The first section of Stormtroopers rush into position. The deadly flamethrower team takes position. The Canadians, arriving after the French, take position in the second line of trenches. In a last hurrah before being shot, the Sergeant adopted a "Come at me bro" stance. The dreade...
