Terrain for an 28mm ancient game

Last weekend i persuaded a couple of friends to mine for a game of ancient gaming using a set of rules called Basic Impetus:  http://www.dadiepiombo.com/basic2.html the basic set is free to download and has been a hit with my wargaming club : http://www.newbuckenhamwargamers.net/.
 My friends have played ancient games before using Amarti rules for years and don't get me wrong they are good i think i just became jaded with them.

So whats all this gas bagging about and what does it have to do with terrain? Well i got a call Sunday from one of my mates that so inspired by impetus rules he wanted to put a game on and needed a roman marching camp,well it was Sunday and i had Monday off so i knocked this up in a day and a half,mainly due to good weather allowing speed of drying time.Made from ply-board,polystyrene,long thin rounded wood that was tied together with cotton,i found  these in the house where my wife had been mistakenly calling them place mats.

2nd KGL

More Perry metals for the collection Mr Insanity Cope,This time KGL,Lovely sculpts as ever from the Perry's and mercifully clean casting.the wounded figure standing is a perry 95th rifles plastic with a victrix head and the seated figure is perry body with a warlord WW2 head,ably put together by Mr Insanity Cope.
Not as detailed painting wise as the last lot(French old guard) so managed to paint the unit of 20 in two days.This is just a couple of them to give you the feel for them.

Sunny weekend in uk

So with the beautiful weather,i was where any right minded wargame/painter was,hunched over a painting table and loved every minute of it.
                 I had a couple of battalions of French old guard (36 figures) for the collection of Mr "Insanity" Cope.A mix of plastic Victrix and Perry metals,The Perry metals as per were more flash than figure but once cleaned up are lovely sculpt's  as usual from the Perry's,Victrix plastic's with a bit of plastic flash but nothing unusual,the only problem with plastic's (not just Victrix) is the blurring of detail in places,water bottles are one example,the bottles on one side are good clean crisp sculpting but the othe merges into the figure meaning you have to create an edge with the paint.The other thing i found with the Victrix was the bearskins,the fur detail was missing on one side and some of the bearskins seemed to have kinks in them. 
        The Blue i used for the greatcoats are:
P3 paints:
EXILE BLUE,as the basecoat.
CYGNAR BLUE BASE,as the mid colour.
CYGNAR BLUE HIGHLIGHT,as the highlight.



Here's a few pictures of some of the 36 i did this weekend.

Strelkovy company

SMG platoon

mortars

Hmg

MG42 fodder

command

The whole lot just before varnishing.

I did these for a friend in a painted figures for trestles for my war gaming table deal.You get your monies worth with a Russian infantry company. All in all,it took one night per platoon of 40 figs and another night for command and quality control. 

11th cuirassier

Started and finished these at the weekend.Perry metals,once cleaned up usual high standard from them.
I do like these without their cuirass.
