roman dba camp

Hi folk,
as I saw this little nice miniature colosseum at a souvenir shop in Rome for just 1€ I bought it instanly.

I painted up the guys in the front- they are cruel sculpted but almost excactly in 15mm scale.
More photos forthcoming with my new err Western Late Roman Army...

More stuff forthcoming

Yes, after some absense you will now be able to see a daygrowing amount of posts.. I now have quite a lot stuff to show: Early Imperial Romans, Middle Imperial Romans, Late Romans and Mongols as well as terrain, so keep watching- here a little previw a base EIR Cav and a hand made cypress:

Flavian cavalry on a patrol in Italy near Rome

A test painted miniature for my first Late Imperial Legion for DBa and later FoG. I will add some VVV shielddesigns later on....

Pictish Camp- call to the ancestors

The faith and the sound of eluveitie :) helped my Pictish guys to win against their Celtic brothers from the south (ancient british).

lot of pic(t)s

 I finished my DBA Pictish army today. Most of the miniatures are feudal castings. Unfortunately I didnt shot pics while it was sunny. I finished the army and pics by dawn so the pics are a bit poor.

suebi camp

as needed for DBA here is my camp: a ritual germanic cremation

Suebian !!!!!!!!!!!!

After some weeks of silence -was lange wärt wird endlich gut- my DBA Suebians are finished. I based them after my very errrr.. hard birthday LAN to find back in 'real live' and now, while the sun is shining outside and 21°, I've a cold....

I hope I'm able to play with them against one of the others soon...

Get out of the streets

Yesterday, all my troubles.. eeer-Yesterday I found some quite good on the architekts of war site and bilded up some street. Origionally for DBA they are quite big so I#m goingt to usethem for FoA and WAB. I'm goint to make some wood, smaller streets and a river today.

Men of a unknown City

These Spearmen are formed by one of the german colonial Baltic cities. The city has to pay there armour so it is quite good and uniform.

Swabian knights

Swabian knights are ready to fight for the Teutonic Order and to bring death to the heathens !!

english longbow men

The first elements of my forthcoming Teutonic Order for DBA. I should have taken some crossbowmen, but I think my english friends will do at least as good. I think the facturer is minifigs.


I promise to update more stuff tomorrow.

next workbench update

I have not post much this month but I'm going to, because I painted up some stuff up. And my next DBA Army will be ready end of the week: Teutonic Knights. Here is a update photo about this stuff:

Made my own DBA Table

Yesterday I made my first DBA table: The premissions was to make a simple, open for all terrain, and fine looking as well as handy one.
Firstly I cut my plywood in the mid in two halfes each 60*60 cm or 24*24 inches. Next I cutted my grasmat to 63*63 and put the wood in the middle. Then I stapled the mat on the back and clued the edges so the edges can not shear.
I'm happy with it and only have to build some hills and woods.

First Plataen

I primed all the plataean cavalry for my forthcoming 28mm 2000points Plataean WAB Army. Here is the first of the heroic light cavalry:

I'm waiting for the victrix hoplites for five months now and I'm going sad, cause I need the designs for my Heavy Cavalry shields.

next base of psiloi

I can't get enough of
can you get enough of.... psiloi

I had some test painted celts hanging around here so I did a aditionally DBA Psiloi base with casualities.

I don't need it, but I want it !! Like at my last base the ground is swamp. Additionaly I did a generic dark age shield design to be able to use the element in all forthcoming Dark age armies. In my Roman army its named: ,,Numerus Nemetum''.

Free Russia !!!

I painted these miniatures a while ago its the first quarter of my neo soviet ''army''.
The miniatures are converted WW2 russians from BTD which I get on a ebay for little money the weapons(AK74 and AT4) are from TAG, the shotgun from the Near Future Foundry range.
A lot of photos:

Numerus Taunensium

A other Ps element, recruited from the civitas Taunensium:

Balearic slingers

Watchout for your heads because here is the: ,,Numerus funditori Balearici''  The miniatures are Corvus Belli Balearic slingers.
