Yes, a long time has passed since I last fielded a new unit for the 28mm Punic Wars project. Besides some game markers, the last unit to march out from the painting desk was a pair of Gaestatae units back in NOV 2021. Nearly four years since the project witnessed any activity on the painting front.
On the gaming front, no game this week. Today's game at Scott's was called due to illness (not mine!). Looking to get that game back onto the schedule. Having cleared my table of the four-game run of Mortimer's Cross, my attention is turning toward horse & musket periods. At present, I am focused on recreating a couple of battles from the War of Polish Succession. Much work needs to be accomplished before I am ready to bring these to the table. Study continues on scenario design and development. Hopefully something tangible to share in the near future.
Great to see additions to the Punic War, I really need to get back to mine
ReplyDeleteThanks, Neil! You have been plenty busy on your own Painting Home Front.
DeleteNice unit and rescue for the figures. Punic Wars are flavour of the month at the club.
ReplyDeleteThanks, George! It is always the flavor of the month, somewhere!
DeleteGreat additions to the collection, Jonathan. The period must still hold a strong interest for you having last added to it several years ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dean! The Punic Was collection has seen a number of battles in the past four years. The collection, while never "officially" complete, is pretty much finished.
DeleteNice mix of figures; you wouldn't know they were from different manufacturers.
ReplyDeleteNeil
I agree that the figures fit well together.
DeleteAlways great to see Carthaginian heavy foot. And some rare Renegade figures - I have never seen their Ancient range before.
ReplyDeleteMost of my 28mm Romans and Carthaginians are Renegade. The figures, especially cavalry, are HUGE. Wish I could still get them. I would like more.
DeleteA very fine looking unit Jonathan, nice looking figures that definitely deserve their time in the sun.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil!
DeleteVery nice indeed Jon!
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated!
DeleteYou are such a slacker Jonathan!!! 😂 Four years for an addition to the project.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that 4 years is quite fast for most of my projects.
The unit looks great and the shield designs are awesome.
Thank you, Ben! Yeah, it has been a long time since I last added to this project.
DeleteGreat unit Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLovely job on the bronze and of course (as always) the whites. The different manufacturers blend well.
ReplyDeleteMy Punic are always ‘next’ in the painting queue …… very frustrating.
Thanks, Norm! How do you push your Punic War project toward the front of the queue?
DeleteGreat looking unit Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christopher!
DeleteCongratulations on whittling down another section of the lead pile to which it is always easier to add than subtract. Well done on not ordering figures to make whole units from the odd figure or two. I've listed those projects which I could not exactly complete but finish the few figures I have outstanding. This in the hope of ticking them off. I find there is no greater satisfaction [for me] in the hobby than completing a unit, so recognise your delight that these are done. As for measuring things in years......
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Polish history/wargaming/uniforms so look forward to the promised event.
Stephen
Thank you, Stephen! Beginning a new u it and finishing a new unit are high points for me. The in between is where the real work rests. Maybe you would be interested in a return to the gaming table for one of these WPS games?
DeleteLovely looking unit, such a pity Renegade went under and no one picked up their range!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
It is a pity no one picked up the Renegade range of figures. A great loss. I really liked their ECW figures too.
DeleteLong time coming but worth the wait Jon, very nice unit, really well done and the different manufacturers work really and yes as Iain says pity no one picked up the Renegade figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie! Seeing Renegade back in production would be a great surprise. They used to offer excellent deals on bulk purchases. I miss those days.
