Impetus, Punic war Roman Project.

Aventine miniatures,4x 12 foot,2x6 cavalry,2x4 skirmishers,1x command set and all the LBM transfers for the army only £118.Great deal.

The Aventine Figures come with some lovely cast pilum,But having used cast weapons on other armies i found after two or three games you end up with lovely cast barley twists.

Jury is still out on the transfers,even when they are designed for Aventine minatures they still need cutting out,as its near impossible to cut the boss out spot on i would suggest matching your shield colour to the the transfer.

With Punic shields there isn't a metal edge to these shields so the transfer leaves a small ridge,i used black paint to even this out and then painted the shield in the original colour again.

Asked to paint this up for Insanity Cope.I believe its a french figure from essex miniatures on a Perry horse.but painted as a British ADC "dandy" apart from the bicorne the colour scheme was taking from Uniforms of the peninsular war 1807-1814 by Philip Haythornwaite.

Happy New year to all.Well the winter break is over so its back to the painting table.To kick off i have a few pictures of the stalingrad game we played at my house over christmas,endeding in a soviet win by attrition,whenever i play against soviets i feel like Micheal Cane in Zulu. 

French indian war British from warlord,lovely figures,poses are some of the best i've seen in a while.The only problem with them is the casting with flashing and not the usual "perry miniatures" flashing but some really poor casting.Now this said i did get the box when it was first out and hopefully they have improved the moulding process now.As you can see if you stick to it the figures are corking.
