Since the older Citadel woods set is OOP and only available at insanely high prices, ordered this new set of Warhammer woods. I liked the fantasy look of the older set, and this one carries on that flavor - including skulls and such around the base.
The kit has minimal parts and was easy to put together. Primed black, the nice sculpting takes to dry-brushing really nicely. They look the part for a Hail Britannia game, but plan to use them in other scenarios as well - the skulls don't bother me even for historical games.
The Perry AWI British and Continentals are also put together. Managed to get all the figures in skirmish poses by using various Victrix and Perry Napoleonic British arms. Also swapped out some of the AWI British arms onto the Continentals. They'll be in 6 or 12 man units and based on Litko 25mm rounds in 6-figure skirmish trays. Plan to use them for Black Powder's Rebellion which has a lot of scenarios with smaller units.
Another Imjin War naval game is in the works - waiting one an order of more ships for both the Koreans and Japanese. Until next time, wishing you all good health and hobby pursuits.
Great trees and the AWI are looking good!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Mike. Just a small foray into AWI. Nothing too serious. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThose trees look quite "Stark" to me! :-) I like them, and the AWI troops look good as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Peter. The trees should be nice for many kinds of scenarios. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteNeat looking trees!
ReplyDeleteThank you much, Jonathan! Best regards, Dean
DeleteMighty forest turned out!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Alexey. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteYeees, really great trees!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal! They are perfect for WHFB or even historicals - IMO. Best regards, Dean
DeleteI walk our dog past trees that look just like this...seriously! I have often thought, I can see why previous civilisations thought tres might sprout legs and wall around! The AWI figures look good...guess they will all be painted and based by Tuesday lunchtime 😊
ReplyDeleteThank you very much again, Keith! Well, I might work on some Perry Austrians first. I have to give the Continental AWI guys some thought as to which units/uniforms to paint. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteThe tree sculpting is good, but your painting has brought the best out of them. The AWI look splendid - your output is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Norm. Appreciate your kind words and visits. Best, Dean
DeleteTrees looks nice, and will be appropriate for historical wargame!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vladimir! I think the trees give a nice "Old World" look. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteNice looking figures. Will be fab when painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Simon! Best regards, Dean
DeleteNicely painted trees.
ReplyDeleteThank you much, Javier! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteFantastic job on those Wyldwood trees Dean ! Superb !
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Thanks, Mario! I wish I could get the original version of the Citadel trees (but they are way too expensive on ebay). Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking trees and good work assembling the plastic so fast!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. Although they can be a bit pricey sometimes, I find Citadel/Warhammer plastics very well sculpted which makes for ease of painting. In this case just dry-brushing over a black undercoat. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteDean,
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely keeping you busy!
Neil
Thanks, Neil! I was just pondering that, whilst looking a freshly primed (in white) Perry AWI and Perry Napoleonic Austrians :) Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteNicely looking trees! Good acquisition:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dmitry. I hope to one day score a good price on the original Citadel/Warhammer Woods set. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteYou've been a busy bee, and I've missed a bit. Family has me tied up for summer but got a chance today to catch up and see you are busy with some cool projects. Hope the heat out that way isn't too crushing for you.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Kevin
Thanks, Kevin - heatwave passed after only about 2-3 days. Back to the normal weather - cool in the am and pm and the shade during the day. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteThe trees are certainly unique and characterful. Good to see the AWI painting getting some attention. Nothing in half measures !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! Yes, gonna take my time with the Continentals - still considering which units to paint up. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteThose trees turned out very nicely.
ReplyDeleteLooking forwards to seeing the AWI done
Thanks, Scrivs! Wish I had the previous set of Warhammer woods - one day, maybe - if the price is right. Kindest regards, Dean
