The Season of War is upon you!

So, after a long break, I feel I should post an update! Lots has been going on - I've been busy painting and writing my ruleset: Seasons of War: Days of the Conqueror.

Above is the cover for the rulebook.

Above - An assortment of models. Archers, A clash of armies, Greater Fyrd, Housecarls, Norman Inf, Norman Cavalry and leaders. Models are a mix of Magister Militum and Old Glory!

More Normans

I've now completed* the full 6 bases in the unit, including command! Here are a quick snap!

*As before...need to static grass them

Days of the Conqueror title!

I've been working on some title art for the game, here it is:

Housecarls

Right, some progress has been made on the painting front. I have painted* my first base of Anglo Saxon Housecarls from Old Glory UK. Apologies for the quality of photos, my friends always seem to outdo me on that front! Anyway, enjoy!

*Not entirely finished - I need to add static grass, which will cover up the cracks/obvious height difference currently on the base!

More Normans!

A quick update on the Norman Spearmen unit - 2 new bases now painted and based.

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!
