The new Vallejo paints and rack behind the re-based 13th & 14th C. cavalry. To the side Litko bases. I'm back! |
This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

Easing Back Into the Hobby - New Stuff and Rebasing Old Stuff
Still waiting on the 5 boxes of Perry plastic Wars of the Roses figures ordered about a week ago. In the meantime a Vallejo Game Color "Intro Set" as well as an actual paint rank (again a Vallejo product) arrived ahead of them.
Also ordered some movement trays and more bases from Litko. I committed to participating in a Lion Rampant game day in September, and plan to use my as yet untried English Hundred Years War retinue. As I hate moving single figures - even in skirmish games - the 3-figure movement trays should be perfect. In fact to have them match the trays, I rebased the figures onto the stands that came with the trays. I also switched their former GW-style bases with some other figures - 13th C. knights used as Early-Holy Roman Empire troops. Re-basing figures is a sure sign that I've relapsed into the hobby. Hopefully the next post will be with the Perry plastics. Until then, best wishes to you all!

DeleteHi Dean, I'm re-basing as well; Macedonian Hypaspists who have been lurking unloved for some time now. Nice little project as its too hot for painting here in Blighty (85F plus). Regards HGA.
ReplyDeleteThanks, HGA. I'm gradually getting all of my figures onto multi-fig bases or with skirmish type movement trays. Ken Litko is getting a lot of my business in this endeavor! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteHi Dean, I am not a fan of re basing either.
ReplyDeleteLol! I know, Rodger. I'm actually getting really good at this though! I removed 24 mounted figs in under an hour and had them rebased within the next. Best, Dean
DeleteHuzzah! The man is back and firing! Can't wait to see what you do with the Perry WotR stuff mate.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael! Check out the next blog post! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteLooking great so far and re-basing is something we all have to live with in this hobby. None of us like it though.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ross

DeleteSplendid stuff! War gaming is a bit like smoking cigarettes, all it takes is one to pull you back in :)
ReplyDeleteLol! Love the analogy, Steven! Best, Dean
