Sorry for the recent silence on the blog. A combination of yet another really bad cold which has knocked me back a bit, it stopped me from attending Battleground although on the day the snow would have stopped us attending anyway. I’ve also been busy on a number of projects not related to wargaming, my wife’s birthday and now we are down in London again for a few days. Anyway hopefully some more gaming in a week or so, in the meantime I have managed to paint up a few bits…
A landing craft for my Tallarn, this was painted up for the show game but sadly as I didn’t attend it didn’t get used, perhaps next year ?
Picton for the peninsular , I needed a few more commands
A British Artillery officer
The Italian infantry have been slow going so I allowed myself to be distracted with a command car, this a 3D print
and some heavy support for Sicily Semovente 47/32 from warlord
Even more distracted I have been painting up some Penal Legion to go with my Tallarn force, these are Atlantic figures with some GW modification, these were the first three test figures I have another 27 to paint in various colour schemes ! But I’m well on with them.
I picked this up off eBay but only noticed the two right hand tracks when it arrived, but the nice people at Warlord have sent me a replacement so hats off to them for customer service.
A couple of weeks ago we played our next instalment of Konigsberg campaign. The Germans started well got into a good position but frustratingly their morale let them down again, giving the Russians a win
Well there is a ditch so we’re jolly well going to use it for cover !
That’s it for now hopefully I’ll get a chance to catch up on a few other blogs soon

The usual assortment of beautiful work Matt. I especially like the WW2 Italian tanks. I wonder if there is an M13/40 with two left-hand tracks glued on it somewhere.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely stuff Matt, especially the landing craft. A shame you and it didn't make it to Battleground
ReplyDeleteYou may have been absent but certainly not idle! Excellent work all-around as usual, Matt. Your landing craft is quite cool. What rules are you using for this project? Xenos Rampant?
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the dreaded lurgy returned but some mighty fine stuff you have turned out none the less.
ReplyDeleteSorry you were laid low, but glad you soldiered on! Nice new stuff added to the roster!
ReplyDeleteBad news about your cold returning and laying you low but loads of loveliness added to your collections. Lovely work all round but the Peninsular command are really lovely.
ReplyDeleteHopefully see you next week. Snowing in The Bunker as well, going to use my snow mat for next Konigsberg game.
ReplyDeleteGrrr, that was me.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are on the mend. May not be able to make next week, having shower fitted. Will let you know ASAP. Nice work by the way
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry to hear that sir!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your cold etc Matt, but we've had loads doing the rounds here, which SWMBO is bringing home from school! Excellent work on a nice mix of projects as always:).
ReplyDeleteHope youre feeling better, lots of lovely work , the lander and the Italian tank being the stand outs for me, although the Napoleonic command is very nice!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
As always a splendid mix of lovely toys and games…
ReplyDeleteI suspect you may have the same lurgy as I have…It seems particularly tenacious and a touch vindictive…
All the best. Aly
