Afghan compounds for force on force


Her is my scenery/ terrain project for force on force 
I found the tips on a blog that I have list the name for but if I find it I will share. I game me all the dimensions to build compounds for 28mm miniatures 
And as you can see they have turned out great if not painted yet.


I build two large compounds and enough small buildings to act as small houses or even as a bazaar.

Force on Force Taliban

So a few months ago I started work on my Taliban insurgents for force on force, I got these miniatures from my local WarGameStore who had a selection of miniatures from empress miniatures.
I was abit skeptic about painting these as  at the time I was a serving member of the British army but if I wanted to play the game and get people at my local club interested we would need some bad guys so I invested in enough for a small enemy force and this is them almost finished
There wasn't a massive selection as my local store only stocked a small amount to see how they would sell before stocking any more so il have to finish them off and get some games played and drum up some interest in this great rule set.

Medieval French ordinance army

Next week il will be finally starting work on my medieval French ordinance army that I will be using with field of glory rules with the storm of arrows supplement

I'm still new to medieval wargaming and I think I will have todo my research first before I put any paint to them but I have based them and back filled most of the bases.
This has been a long running project that was put on hold as a few other projects popped up but I think now is the time to get cracking with them.
I bought the whole army from blackhatminiatures as they seemed to be the best value for the number if miniatures and for the level of detail. I have added a few other bits to the headquarters base just to add more depth.
Headquarters base 
Bowmen
Men at arms
Dismounted knights 
Not to sure what these are but I believe they are a sub HQ
I also have some Swiss pike men

As I said I'm not to sure about painting these so I will have todo my homework first but it's been over 6 months so abit longer won't hurt.

Battle Fleet Gothic

A few friends have started to play BFG and I was kindly given a small fleet that just needed painting so this is how it's turned out
Again Iv not had a chance to play but I now believe I have enough to field in a small game.
BFG was a game that I had never really paid much attention to but wish I had as the miniatures were fun to paint.

More Vikings

Some more pics of another warband that me and my brother painted a few months ago.


Saga Norman warband

This is another saga warband me and my brother painted and sold on eBay to fund other projects but I do like how they turned out.



Mountain king

Iv recently finished a small commission for a friend, it was a troll blood mountain king from privateer press and wow what a miniature it was but there was nothing miniature about it.
Such an amazing sculpt and can't wait too see my friends face when he gets this.

Saga Vikings

Saga is something in still new too and between me and my brother Neil we have painted a few warbands and put them on eBay to help fund future projects but I thought I would share some of are work.
I'm still trying to decide what warband to use to game with

These are mostly the gripping beast plastic Vikings but with some of there metal berserkers.
They were fun to build and paint and there price is good but I'm still undecided.
