So the trip to Derby World came and went. I intended on sticking to a budget of about £20 and only buying stuff that I needed for current projects. In the end I came away about £90 lighter with a pile of stuff. Oops!
The extra bits I picked up were bargains I couldn't really turn down. A Cromwell tank for my Bolt Action British for £12 and a couple of 4ground buildings I'd had my eye on. These won't be assembled until we've moved house though so will be packed away for now.
Anyway, on to finished stuff! First up:
My second unit of Punic Infantry! I haven't found a Xyston model that I've not enjoyed painting yet. I had contemplated the new Forged In Battle models but having seen them they don't compare, so will just use them to fill any gaps in the range that Xyston may have.
And then onto this, which turned out to be one of my favourite models I've ever done:
Elephants! Originally I was only going to put one on a base, but I'm glad I decided against being tight and putting two on!
How cool do they look?!
Only one more unit to do and then my Basic Impetus force is complete! Then I will add units as I want to, and expand the units I've already completed where I am able.
They look great, particularly the elephants - there is something joyous about elephants in Wargames.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved the look of the Carthaginian army. So much variety.
That's why I picked the army! Shouldn't get boring to paint and hopefully fun to play.
DeleteTwo elephants to a base looking very good there!
ReplyDeleteI think we should have a sweep stake on how long it'll be before I drop it...
DeleteI pick turn two of the first game.
DeleteI'm going for before I've even played a game with it
DeleteYou've already dropped it, haven't you?
DeleteNot yet. It's currently locked away in a vault under armed guard...
DeleteYou mean it's in a cupboard that a cat is sleeping on?
