Solidifying the Ghost Army Part 7: Wounded Sentinels
 |
| The wounded sentinels in the raw state |
 |
| The sentinels completed |
Although the Ghost Army force has only four units each with two characters attached I added two extra demi-units in order to make the scenario work. The first of these are three sentinels, each supposed to be wounded and therefore rated as Drilled in the scenario.

Champions of Pike & Shot 1: Mark Shearwood
 |
| Siege of Athlone 1691 - wonderful solo effort by Mark |
I decided to highlight the work of fellow gamers who I feel make a significant contribution to the popularity of the period 1660-1720. Mark Shearwood's output is both prodigious and high quality.

Mark has produced imaginative and inspiring games which have appeared at various shows mostly in...
Warfare GNW R13 Russian pikemen marching
R13 is the pike code complimentary to R12 (Musketeers) and R14 (Command). I am super happy about how this code turned out too. Again it is based on two body dollies with five head variants atop.
The pistol tucked in behind the belly box is a nice touch on all figures.
Some (but very few) customers have been a little unhappy about the 'solid' hands for pikemen and officers in the Russian range. We...

One of the more unusual units we have seen is a battalion which I believe was raised by the Vatican and was painted by Joe North.

And, there's more! Warfare Minis Guest Gallery 3
Never did I realize when I started this little review how many painters have actually sent me pictures of there work with Warfare Miniatures.
 |
| Dannie Fogleman's Saxons - I think he painted every darn one of them! |
I should really be surprised because we've sold about 20,000 packs since we started so there are a few out there in Wargames Land.

Warfare Miniatures GNW Russian Artillerists released
Finally I got round to painting the first two codes for the Russian Artillery. All three codes are available but I haven't managed to paint code RA3 (Gunners firing) yet.
The codes are in the shop right now and if anyone wants code RA3 just send a mail to wordtwister@hotmail.co.uk and I can add them to any order.
They painted up very well and I am delighted we've finally got these to market.
Yet more nice work chaps! Warfare minis Guest Gallery 2

| Mark Allen's work of art - King William III |
I enjoyed the first compilation of Warfare work by other painters and knew I had plenty of other examples so here is a part 2 to this little series of work by gamers and painters I admire and which show off Warfare Miniatures and the period with both imagination and creativity.

Warfare GNW R12 Russian musketeers marching
A close in look at this code which is already proving pretty popular. As per usual we have 5 variants based on two body dollies and five different heads.
The arm comes in two options - bayonet fix and bayonet removed.
I chose to paint these in all green uniforms and I will use them for the Preobrazhenskoi Guards. Back to the old arguments - who is right and who is wrong, regarding uniform colours...

Nice work chaps! Warfare Minis Guest Gallery 1
Note: when I first got the idea to do this post I thought it might be a one off. In the end I had enough photos (with many left over) to do a series of 5 posts. I really enjoyed looking at what gamers and painters have done with range.....

| Kirke's arrival at Santa Marta - The Creole Regiment was already in position |
Of course I have already blogged briefly on the topic of our 1693 Battle for Britain adventures but not really given any detailed insight into the battles. The reason was simple. I had a mass of data to sift through and organize and my time between the beginning of April (when we did it) and now has been filled with...

Something I am frequently asked is "how do you manage to be so productive?". The answer is quite simple. I don't have any spare time.

Solidifying the Ghost Army 4 - Weathering the Veterans
 |
| Three steps: Painted, Washed down, Weathered - bases unfinished |
The look I wanted to get with these models was a faded, dirty, washed out effect. They have been in the field for over two years without proper resupply from home. If a parade ground look ever existed in the early 18th century which I doubt, these chaps are as far away from that as is possible. For those interested, a tip I would offer...
