Hi, I'm selling my Testudo Miniatures Teutonic Knights, Poles, Lithuanians and Tartars etc as the range has been discontinued and I am now unable buy the miniatures I was banking on being able to purchase in order to put on what would have been a dream display game! I'm not very amused (to say...

I'm making a tentative start on my Sassanids- a project well overdue! They were meant be a historical match for my Late Romans and Early Byzantines (which can both be found on this forum). For more pictures of the Sassanid's here and a few words please head on over to my Just Add Water blog...

Last Thursday at the club saw me, with my usual coterie of friends, playing another game of Cruel Seas by Warlord Games. This is actually my third game so one would think I would have digested the rules by now, but not so! The game was another learning experience and I was largely playing follow...

We fought another game of our battle set up for the SoA, Battle Day in the North run through of a game we have planned for the Society of Ancients, Battle Day in the North last week in an attempt to balance out the game as the WAB V.2 rules are they stand, almost certainly result in a very...

It was indeed. I think Partizan and The Other Partizan are by far the very best shows in the UK.

For more pictures and my usual attractively styled waffle, please go to my Just Add Water blog here: https://justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2026/07/battle-of-society-of-ancients-battle.html This weeks game was right up my street and had me quite excited as we were to play a Late Medieval...

I've got a WAB (Warhammer Ancient Battles in the event no one remembers!) tournament coming up in September and needed to get an army on the table for the event. Rather than (typically!) forking out for new miniatures I made the decision to resurrect my Classical-Nanda/Mauryan army. More...

Agreed Lucy. I've found The Armies of Ancient Persia: The Sassanians, Kaveh Farrokh to be a fantastic source for the different types and proficiencies of Sassanian infantry. There will certainly be more in the way of updates very soon. I bought some of the (over 20 years old but basically...

More pictures of the Late Roman Equites Scholae Palatinae including both "speed painting" horse approaches of i/ high contrast and ii/ the "sponge method"(sounds wrong, I know!) For more pictures and discussion please see my Just Add Water blog here...

Thank you ticptarmi. Although a long time project, I will keep posting as I go along.

I'm finally making a start on my Late Sassanid army and starting small with a unit of Daylamite Light Infantry which can, with the removal of the main command models, also serve as Kurdish skirmishers too. As usual, there are a more pictures and discussion re: Daylamites in Sassanian armies on...

Thanks Lucy300. The weather, throughout The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge was an absolute obstacle. Almost like nature was working against me lol
