6mm War of the Roses (3) - Camps & Commanders

My Wars of the Roses miniatures have had a rare venture out of there box recently as they have been standing in for a human fantasy army and as the Lords & Lands medieval lists have been released they have even been used as actual WotR armies.

As they are based for Impetus they lack individual commanders so I have had to make a few from the last of my spare minis, and whilst I was at it I decided to finish off one of the encampments I had made ages ago but never gotten round to painting.

All the Command stand minis are from Baccus:

The Encampment, minis from Leven, Baccus, Perfect6 and Irregular:

It felt good to reduce the amount of unpainted WotR stuff I have, I really must try to do a unit here an there to get them done.

Distractions & Diversions (5) - Faustus Furius 6mm Chariot Racing

Some time ago I started writing my own rules for a simple and cheesy Chariot racing game, I got about half way before getting distracted with something else, and I am glad I did or I would never have picked up Ganesha Games Faustus Furius.

This is a gem of a game and the total buy-in is minimal, a few chariots in whatever your preferred scale and that's it(well the rules of course). The games rules can be mastered in 10 minutes, yet provide everything you need for an evening of great fun, fast simple and fun - the three main ingredients for a good game in my opinion.

All my chariots are 6mm and from Rapier, I simply mixed up the crews for a bit more variety:

Obelisks(from leven0 to act as my turning points(15mm & 6mm mini for scale)

A couple of crashed chariots(Irregular):

Finally, I persuaded the boss to make me a chariot track from a spare bit of material:

Well at least it was 6mm stuff for a change, back to 28mm and 15mm for the next couple of posts.

Odds & Ends (14) - Miscellaneous Scenics - Fantasy stuff (6mm)

After recently making some rock outcrops I had some spare cork bark, I combined this with a piece of scenery from Leven to make this Dwarf-hold entrance:

And as I have been utilising aquarium plants recently I spotted this for a bargainous £1.65 which with a little ink wash and flock, will serve:

I also got round to painting my latest additions to my fortifications which I will use for both fantasy and WotR:

Every settlement needs a Tavern which mine were sadly lacking:

And finally a small Viking settlement and some generic primitive huts, the Viking buildings are meant to have turf roofs but I wasn't too sure how to do it so just left them earthy looking, I'm not too happy with the result so will re-do the roofs at some point:

 

Back on with a few more 15mm Sci-Fi minis at the moment, and then I'm determined to finish my Epic Imperial Guard army before the end of the year
