Painting Horses (fast)

I always struggle when it comes to painting horses. I though they were a royal paint to cast, but maybe they are just hard all the way around. Of course some of it could just be me 🙂

Well, I know for sure that horses can be a chore to paint, and it just happens that HistoriFigs friend, Jeff Hudelson, has recently posted an article on his Project ECW blog covering how he paints horses.

If you have an interest in a fast painting method for horses, why not pop on over and take a look at Jeff’s posting. Maybe you will find something useful for your own projects.

“A Sergeant’s War”

A Sergeant’s War is a new set of war game rules for small unit combat in WWII written by Nathaniel Weber and available as a PDF from the Wargame Vault, priced at $11.99.

A Sergeant's WarYou might even recognize some of those US Marines pictured on the cover.

I’ve not had a change to take these rules for a spin yet, but Nathaniel has posted a nice write up over on the The Miniatures Page. so be sure to pop on over and have a read.

You will be seeing more from Nathaniel in the form of pictures; he has completed a couple of painting projects for us with at least one more in the pipeline. We will be posting pictures in the near future…

 

 

Scruby 25mm Medievals via the 1/72 Multiverse

Time for another peek at what folks on the web have to say about Scruby Miniatures. This time we reach back to 1 March 2013 and point you to a post on the 1/72 Multiverse Blog.

1/72 Medieval

A few highlights from the post:

Scruby’s Military Miniatures are from before my time, but I had often heard that the old 25mm figures were in fact ~1 inch tall, making them dead-on for 1/72 scale.

 

… I noticed was that HistoriFigs really takes the time to finish their miniatures. All of the bases were filed down …

 

… I think that they possess a simple utilitarian charm that is often lost in modern sculpts that are more suitable for a display case than a gaming table.

I’ll leave it to you to visit the 1/72 Multiverse to read the full posting. There you will find some additional commentary on the figures along with some pictures.
