Yo Ho!

 G'day!

Its been a little while since ive posted but i havent been idle!

Ive been finding it easier to post directly to Instagram, so if youd like to see more regular updates gives me a follow over there.

Now onto the meat of my update. Black seas has been getting alot of love. Got the 3 frigates from the starter box finished and im about halfway through 6 brigs! Following there completion i will crack straight into the beautiful American fleet.

A little side project/ detour ive started is some American Civil War naval action! Bit of  sneak peak below.

Hope your well

Cheers

So long 2021!

What a bloody year!

Greetings anyone who is still with me. Its been a while, i know and im sorry. Absolute hectic year for me, another few career changes but for the better. 

On the hobby front ive been pretty hit amd miss this year. Ive gotten a few games in at home with my son but not much else. A few non starts on 40k but ended up finding myself completely jaded by GWs business practices and the 40k community in general.

Ive carried on with my printing, having printed everything from 6mm coldwar to ancient galleys.

Proud owner of 2 dogs now too!

Looking ahead im going to try and post weekly on here to keep my motivation going. I have quite a bit to get through in 2022 both with hobby and life. I am definetly looking forward to it!

Hope you are well wherever life finds you.

Cheers

Russian Napoleonic Line

Greetings.
Been a bit since i have last posted. Keep getting side tracked by life and various other pursuits.

Today i finally managed to finish off 3 more  Russian line regiments. Again figures are from Ab's 18mm 1812 line. Pretty happy how they have turned out. I think they look impressive in formation.

Also recently added to my painting que Battletech again. Love the books, love the new artwork. So stay tuned for more on that.

6mm Team Yankee

G'day,
Another very productive day. Painted up a good chunk of my 6mm US Army for Team Yankee.
Miniatures are from CinC. Pretty happy with how they come out. Will by no stretch of the imaginations win any awards but they were quick and easy to get off the table.
Back on to my Napoleonic now and speaking of them, My flags finally arrived YAY!!!

Till next time,
Cheers

Blucher First Game!

Greetings!
Hope everyone is well, At the moment my side of the world is suffering from a heat wave. It is Filthy!! 36c at 730am is balls and kills my painting plans. Its 40c at the  moment.

Last night played my first game of Blucher. Jason my opposite was using his newly purchased French army and i just stuck with cards.
Must say both Jason and I are very taken with the rules. Early days yet but we both thoroughly enjoyed the rules system. It flowed nicely, the rules weren't overly complex but quite a lot of strategy and forward thinking was needed.
We played a 200pt game with 2 MO dice rather than 3 and still manged to activate most of our units each turn.
Although i was defending objectives i decided to play aggressive early on with a large flanking maneuver. Unfortunately i blunted my teeth early and Jason rolled up on my forces.

Not a brilliant write up i know but just wanted to share some quick thoughts on the system and pictures, everyone loves a picture right? As we gain more experience in Blucher i may do some proper AARs.

Cheers
Matt
