I wasn't exactly sure as to where to put this. Sort of half commercial and half gallery? Please feel free to move this post to the most appropriate spot. Thanks :) I have recently had a number of photographs of my Anglo Danes and Early Byzantines picked out by the inimitable Charles Grant for...

Africa: East Africa - Tribal and Imperial Armies in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, 1800 to 1900 (Armies of the Nineteenth Century Hi I'm after a copy of Africa: East Africa - Tribal and Imperial Armies in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar, 1800 to 1900 (Armies of the Nineteenth...

I'm not going to be able to get very much painting done over the next few weeks o I'm going to update the blog with some close ups of some units not yet seen to fill in some of the time. First up are the Goths/Ostrogoths. The Footsore Miniatures Goths will be mixed and matched with a company...

The slow death of a laptop is a sad thing indeed. Not only do I have to say farewell to Photoshop CS2 but I cannot find the password for either CS2 or an old copy of Elements so I had to splash out on the new Adobe Elements, which I thought I would give the once over by revamping some old...

Not to blow my own trumpet but I am amazed at my output at present! Admittedly it is partially the result of the varnish queue that had accrued over the weeks but I do think that there is some acceleration with the old brush too! More pictures of the unit and of the single bases can be seen on...

That's easy, they're from Pete's Flags. I don't mind hand painting banners, but with six armies on the go all with several hundreds of miniatures belonging to each, I have to pick my battles. Belisarius banner taken from the "Justinian Mosaics" at the Church of San Vitale, Ravenna:

The second batch of Steppe Nomads to complete the fist unit of 12 is now done and dusted. OK, all complete bar the varnishing process; stage one, the gloss, which is about to take place tomorrow. More pics can be seen on my blog here...

The first unit of what will be the army of Gonzalo de Cordoba for my Italian Wars project. I aim to do both sides for the Battle of Cerignola 1503, in my opinion one of the most pivotal battles during the series of conflicts we call The Italian Wars. After his defeat at the hands of the French...

More pictures and historical meanderings on my Just Add Water blog here: http://justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2021/07/first-goth-unit.html Finally the first unit of Goths is ready after their stint in the vanishing queue waiting and giving the glass a week to go off before matting down. It...

Wow! The posts are really pouring out again. This is actually not a result of my painting speeding up but rather because there was a back log of stuff that needed varnishing and I don't like to have too many pieces out after glossing as I leave a week between the gloss and the matt layers. It's...

At the risk of stretching myself a bit thin on the painting front, between Steppe nomads and Italian Wars Spanish, I pressed ahead with basing the first two ranks of Goths. There will be a further two ranks (three bases) of lesser armoured miniatures to back them up and another six units of foot...

Yesterday morning I was up at, 5:30am and taking pictures(!) of a few units of my Norman army, painted 20 odd years ago. The vignettes are more recent, 2019 to be more or less precise. :) Today at 5:30 am I am starting to post up the pictures and the links. Why? This particular Norman is now...

First Stradiot/Stradioti Unit fully tarted up and ready for action, sort of..... Pics galore of the units from various angles and all of the single bases as well as the usual questionable historical waffle on my blog here...

There is a whole gamut of pictures featuring the unit from various angles and single ranks on my blog here: https://justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2021/05/belisarus-boukellaroi.html I present to you Belisarius' Boukellaroi/Bucellarii. I have enjoyed painting up this unit more then any of...

There are more images of the unit from various angles on my just Add Water Blog here: https://justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2021/04/second-unarmoured-early-byzantine.html Happily I now have the second unit of Unarmoured Early Byzantine Skutatoi complete. I decided to stick with the test...

Here's the latest unit finally complete- or nearly complete as I forgot to to matt the banner down prior to taking the pictures but I positively refuse to go back and retake the pictures now lol. I'll probably post some 360 degree images of the individual bases in a few days so the banner will...

Just a quick post to keep things up to speed. I have been experimenting with different colour schemes for the tunics for the different Unarmoured Skutatoi Units that will be standing as the main battle line in the army along with their Armoured Comrades (in Shieldwall). I have avoided the...
