A New Board!

Yesterday, myself and my fellow Wyverns decided to build a new board for the purpose of demo games and possibly photography for rulebooks etc. We wanted a board that we could use across a variety of scales and decided to go for a classic grass board with built in hills. Below is a photo of where we are at with it at the moment. Almost done, just need to add the details on the rock faces etc.

Seasons of War: Days of The Conqueror

I am currently working on a game of my own writing as part of 'Red Wyvern Games' - a group of 3 gamers (including myself) with a passion for writing rules for a multitude of models! This game is set in the 11th Century and will largely focus on Duke William (The Bastard!) and his contemporaries (Normans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings, Bretons, French etc). I decided to work in 10mm and ordered some models from Old Glory UK - So far so good, simple but solid designs; perfect for this scale! So, having put brush to models, I have completed my first base of Norman Spearmen, here goes!

Scale Neutral!

Welcome to the 'Scale Neutral' blog. Over the coming months, it will hopefully turn into a place where you can see what I've been up to (or not!) in regards to painting, modelling and designing. So, I'll start as I mean to go on, by posting a few pictures of projects old and current, as you can see I tend to skip between scales and genres (hence the blog title). So without further ado...
A small squad of 15mm British Infantry from my alternative Victorian age war game 'World War 0' - Models by Peterpig.

A British Steamtank with flamethrower, again from World War 0 - Mk1 Tank by Peterpig with conversion pieces used from Spartan Games and Gamesworkshop.
