Project Update: Victrix Romans and Celts, ancient armies.
I just thought I'd lay out my Roman and Celt/Britons intended for wars in the 2nd and 3rd century AD in ancient Britain and let you take a look at them.
I did these a few months ago and mainly used them for historical Warlords of Erehwon, Barons' War and some SAGA, but not really done a full pitched battle yet.
All are Victrix 28mm, which are my favourite manufacturer of Romans and Celts in plastic.

I've done a few more Hoplites, decided on Athens at first with a mixture of colours and shield designs. Next step will be some Corintians and some Spartans and add auxilery troops. #wargaming #hailcaesar #history
Project Update: The Greek-Persian Wars, starting my Victrix Hoplites
มุมมอง 3572 หลายเดือนก่อน
So... after 'finishing' my Austrians, we leap back in time to the Greeks and their arguments with the Persians, taking advantage of a massive army deal I bought into from Victrix a couple of years ago and which I was waiting for an opportunity to start. This will run through the summer, amongst other things because I might dip into other stuff. I'll check in from time to time with updates and s...
Hobby Update: Napoleonic Wars. Pt.8 Finally Finished... for now.

So, that's it, I've completed 600pts of Austrians for Black Powder. Hope you've enjoyed the journey I've been on over the last three months or so with my first Napoleonic army. Must say I've really enjoyed it, so it won't be my last. I have a load of Piano Wargames Bavarian to get cracking on next...

Hobby Update: Napoleonic Wars. Pt.6 Chavauxleger
มุมมอง 7603 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today a quick update on my next unit for my Austrian army, the Chavauxleger. As far as I'm aware, remember I'm a Napoleonic newbie, these are similar to light dragoons in their use on the battlefield and are probably considered light dragoons in effect.

Hobby Update: Napoleonic Wars. Pt.4 Hungarian Grenadiers
มุมมอง 4954 หลายเดือนก่อน
My first battalion of Hungarian Grenadiers to join my Hungarian line battalion. Without doubt the Hungarians are my favourite units in the Austrian army and I have enjoyed painting all of them. Miniatures are from Piano Wargames. They are superb and I am tempted to get a 3D printer so I can start printing all of them. pianowargames.de/
Hobby Update: The Napoleonic Wars. First Napoleonic Army, Austrians Pt.3. Light Infantry
มุมมอง 2355 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today a quick update on my Light Infantry, the Austrian Jagers. I play a few different periods, but the idea of a unit of troops skirmishing in front of a huge battalion of line infantry as they manouvre into position to fight isn't something I've come across in other periods and until I read up on it I just assumed Light Infantry were scouts and used for harrassing the enemy, a bit like Dragoons.

In this video I get my guns out. I love artillery pieces, cannons, guns, whatever you want to call them. I have artillery for The Wars of the Roses, The English Civil War, The Napoleonic Wars and The Franco Prussian War. The big guns and the cannons are some of the first things I paint when starting a new period. I should probaby add some of the really big guns of WWI in future, it's a period I...

My first venture into the Napoleonic Wars, starting with an Austrian Army. This is a project for Under Eagles to Glory at Boards and Swords in Derby in June. Thanks to Tim Richardson of The Napoleonic Wargamer for all his inspirational videos, especially the ones on Austria and for giving me the motivation to get going on perhaps the most classic period of wargaming. battlematt66
Napoleonic War: Tyrolean Rebellion. Alps Aflame Kickstarter from Piano Wargames.
มุมมอง 556ปีที่แล้ว
A first look at the Alps Aflame Kickstarter from Piano Miniatures. This was a kickstarter just before Christmas and Lucas Luber at Piano Wargames has started posting out the metal versions. I went a bit mad on this one because the sculpts are absolutely beautiful, despite having no experience of Napoleonic wargaming at all... pianowargames.de/
Introducing Warlord Resin Plus
มุมมอง 588ปีที่แล้ว
I recently received this model with a copy of the new Hail Caesar rules, so I thought I'd give you a quick look at the Warlord's new resin. Is it better than old resin? Maybe. Is it a good alternative to hard plastic and metal...?
Hobby Update: 2023 Projects. Border Wars Reivers become Spanish at Pavia...
มุมมอง 526ปีที่แล้ว
An update on the first of my 2023 projects, the excellent Border Wars kickstarter from Iain at Flags of War. I've gone in a slightly different direction with them though. They were so similar to Wargames Atlantic Conquistadors that I thought I'd paint them and use them as Spanish in later Italian Wars conflicts, Pavia onwards... www.flagsofwar.com/ wargamesatlantic.com/collections/renaissance

We play at 48 points a side, works well with certain house rules
The cannon should be ochre or “yellow”
Thank you
How did you manage to make the shields without transfer seams? show the technique
I'll do some more this week and post it.
Why weren’t the edges of the linothorax painted?
I felt like that was a bit beyond my skill. I will have a try though on the next lot.
Carnyx is a instrument used by the Celts during the Iron Age
That's the one, makes a horrendous sound to scare the enemy.
Two corking looking forces there Matt, fantastic work :D
Thanks Ste
Andreas Hofer was a messed up anti vaxxer and religious fanatic
Great stuff, keep it up!
Where is this can i join lol
Absolutely cracking project mate. Wiil watch with interest.
Looking good Matt. Just a thought perhaps use the club for the Theban Sacred Band and then give the bog Standard Hopkites different shield designs.
Looking great!
Great looking armies Matt.
Great looking figures and impressed how quickly the project is being done :)
Must admit I completed these before starting the Greeks, even I'm not as fast as Dom...
They all look excellent,great work mate
Thank you
Great looking project!
Thanks Mitch
Figures are looking awesome and enjoy the holiday:)
Thanks Aled, just got back...
Cracking sounding project and looking forward to seeing how it develops over the summer :)
Great work! Keen to see how this unfolds. Victix do Spartan and Theban LBMS decals on their website. Battle Flag do a sheet of Athenean decals as well as Spartan and several sheets of 'mixed' designs. Carthage Must Be Destroyed also has some excellent mixed decals on his Etsy store if you are looking to mix things up a little. Also if you can get a few of the mixed Warlord decal sets you could pick and choose the relevant decals for the city state you are focusing on at the time. Personally other than Sparta I'm planning on a few ;themed; decals for each state with mixed shields thereafter ;-) Best of luck!
Lovely work mate
Splendid figures and first class shield designs...Excellent work!👍👍
Great progress - love the shields!
Thats one epic looking project piled up there Matt, looking forward to seeing what you get upto with it!
Cheers mate. I spent some free time at work researching Greek wars all week, so another rabbit hole...
Thanks!
Wow that is a lot of plastic! I have also been working on a similar "Victrix Greek Odyssey". What faction of Greeks are you planning to do? I originally bought all of the older Greek sets but didn't start them. Then the new Hoplite set came out and I used it alongside the Hypaspist kit to use the bodies and spears as you have done. I supplemented some of the older kits for parts. The Spartan kit is excellent for helmet variety (Pilos helmets) for example, plus you get shield aprons. I already have done my Persians, designed as an early Greco-Persian force as well as a later Macedonian opponent. If you would like to see I posted these on The Miniatures Pages Ancient Gallery under "Persian Conversion Excursion" (April this year).
I've got a lot of Greeks, so probably going to do some Athenians, some Spartans and some Corinthians to make use of the different helmet styles. Then I can do Greek vs. Greek as well.
@@BattleMatt The Thebans are also an important Greek faction. They can even be allies to a Persian force.
Lovely looking miniatures nice poses
Great job!! Continue greek hoplites..they are very cool!!! Buy samnite armoured for conversion and create light hoplites with corynthian helmets
Looks great so far, love the diferent poses...
I’ve got a similar tub full of Victrix plastic Macedonians and Republican Romans that are going to be my summer project. Chipping away at it!
Fantastic pile of opportunity there mate! I look forward to following you on this project as both the Hoplite and Persian armies are going to look fantastic once painted and on the battlefield 👍
A good starting point for an Austrian army, hussars and grenzer next?
Yes, I've got boxes of Hussars and some more infantry for Grenz, just couldn't fit them in. 🙂
The army looks awesome, and I hope you have a great weekend at the event :)
Superb showcase, splendid Austrians!
Nicely done Matt. Look forward to seeing them in the field on Saturday and Sunday
That force looks excellent
An excellent parade of your Austrians. Looking forward to hearing how you get on at the event and seeing your Bavarian project unfold 🙂👍
I love the bases on these figures mate. What paints and colours did you use to achieve such a good look. Thanx from Australia
I undercoat everything in white, which helps whith Austrians. All paints are citadel, with some Aarmy Painter and Speedpaint washes over the top
Love seeing this in my reccomended!
army has definetly grown, i remember seeing the first few units :) very good job
They all look excellent
Are you at CC5 in October?
Yes, not missed one yet. I've put my name down for the GdA2 game.
Top stuff Matt, all in 3 months ..wow !
Great work! Fantastic to see the progress all laid out like that, well done on the force :)
Well done sir. I hope you get some great victories with them.
Your army is looking awesome, and DIY is over rated ;). I am taking a lot of flak in our house about why we had to get a professional painter in to do the kitchen and utility room whilst I have a painting room. Seems 'I only paint 15mm or 28mm and don't have any large brushes' is not an acceptable answer :).
My wife was listening in the background when I said that and groaned.
Fantastic stuff!
Great stuff Matt, look forward to seeing these soon
Thanks Dom, I expect to be crushed having not played much Black Powder, but I can lose in style.
Great looking army, well done. Hope you win a game with this army. 👍
Thanks Nic
An excellent collection sir.
Thanks
Great work. Subed. 👍
