Just rebased some old Xyston “15mm Rep Roman” range peltasts - seen here next to some Essex 15mm bowmen, and I had forgotten what absolute monsters these guys were. They are so out of scale that they could almost have been the inspiration for Homers Medieval Foot Knights in The Odessey ! #Odessey
That’s great - the stage setup at Somerset House had a canopy which stopped them using the full height screen backdrop - so it wasn’t quite as mental as usual !
Orkney beaches are telling me that I may need to add more grass tufts to my Viking Army’s bases
Ostrogoths in Milton Keynes : Battle Reports from Campaign 2026 now posted, all in video format with an experimental "top-down" view to show most of the (so-called) action. www.madaxeman.com/reports/Camp...
Almost-done Sarmatian leather-armoured lancers (“that’s ‘Medium Cavalry’ to you Chief”) - trigger warning, may appear as other generic “blokes on horses with too much hair” in future batreps. #15mm #Sarmatian (is that a hashtag?) #FiB #ADLG
Magnetic artillery … and it’s not a new foray into SF gaming either ! madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/06/arti...
Not sure why Forged in Battle bother calling these “Sarmatians”. It’s not a bad thing, but even so, either my eyesight is going or frankly these chaps could be anyone on a horse that’s not washed since they crossed the Roman border …
Almost ready to Rome and Roll - the LBMS transfers that it seems everybody had bought before me !
Galatian Big Boss (You can tell as he’s the only one wearing the trousers in the whole army ..)
At Devizes last year I picked up some Warlord Games resin barbarian slingers from their bargain bucket. Not sure these are even in their catalogue now as they are "Siocast". They came out pretty well - one might even say they are "rubbery"! madaxemandotcom.blogspot.com/2026/06/rubb...
New evidence emerges to suggest that the Roman ballista was more technologically advanced than historians had previously though …
@warlordgames.com‘s #Roman #ballista - a quick paint job mostly with @armypainter.bsky.social paints
A random set of 5 modern 1/300th combat aircraft, including: F14 Tomcat MiG 21 Tornado (German) F4 Phantom (German) SEPECAT Jaguar (French) are now on sale from me on eBay at: ebay.us/m/hQaftG
More Red Copper camels, this time scaled down to 90% of the “recommended” 15mm nominal print scale … making them notably more brittle, and causing a handful of misprints !
Had almost forgotten about Nauk Nauk .. but I think it may be getting better !
