Some painted Minis

Here is a selection of minis that I have painted over the last few months. Above and below are some 20mm Minaron Spanish Civil War Nationalist infantry.

This is a 28-30mm early medieval mounted command group. The General is a Mithril mini (Theoden) and the standard bearer is the GW Lord of the Rings Aragorn. 
A really old Minfigs that I have had for several decades. I decided it was time I painted him. Quite a large figure, at least 28mm
An ugly brute - 25mm scale
 Found in a box of $1 unwanted minis. He is 25mm and painted up quite nicely.

Hussite - Prokop the Great

Here is my painting of the Hussite leader Prokop the Great. The figures are all 28mm Front Rank, as a matter of fact Prokop is Front Rank's Henry Vth.

28mm Roman vs. Roman Hail Caesar game

Here are some photos of the Hail Caesar game we played on Thursday night. It was a Roman vs. Roman affair
 Organizing forces for the coming contest.
 Looking across the table at the opposing army.
 Cavalry clash in the opening minutes of the battle.

 The ranks of Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix await their foes.
 XXXths opponents move closer.

The cavalry guarding the flank of XXXths opponents have been defeated and a division of XXX has moved onto the flank of the enemy line.
 XXX attacks and begin to roll up the enemy line.
The division attacked in the flank collapses and the game is over. 
It was a good game and like all Hail Caesar games flowed along quickly and without any hitches.

$1 Barbarian Horn Blower

Sometimes you get lucky. A few weeks ago I was rummaging around in a tub of minis that had been cast aside and were being sold for $1 each. I found this fellow. He is perfect for a character in the dark ages campaign we are playing. He is the hero that carries the Horn of Rusika which when blown gives a combat bonus to all the Rusikan warriors within earshot. I painted the mini up and here he is.
