30 Days 30 Miniatures Painting Challenge - May 2021 Round up

May passed by in a flash leaving this 30 Days 30 Miniatures six figures short of the finish line. To say that there was a lot going on is an understatement however, that's passed now and its time to rise from the metaphorical ashes. 

The pictures below show a mix of both scales and periods; starting with a few more terrain pieces for 28mm WW2. No idea who the manufacturer is for these which is a pity as rather like the single man sandbag emplacements. 


The greying hut is from Hovel's ACW range although it could be used for any North American conflict from the French Indian War onwards. This is a part of a small farm set with the barn being the next piece to be painted.


Whilst this month, as in May, there have been no 28mm figures completed a few have been getting worked on in the sidelines. This leaves the 15mm figures from Museum Miniatures and Gladiator Games.



The Mongols from Museum Miniatures are the first completed figures for well, Mongol armies across the period of the Mongol Empire. Starting here with the first bow armed light cavalry and medium cavarly. 


Next is the start of a second DBA army for the Late Crusader period and instead of representing a famous or infamous military order this time the figures are being painted for the Knights of Jerusalem. 


Still to find suitable decals for the shields etc for this army; not sure if there is a cross surround by 4 other crosses out there. If not will have to compromise with just the one. 



Although May and for that matter June have passed in a whirlwind did manage to complete 24 different miniatures.  Not close to that figure for June yet. 

Cheers for now

Scourge of God

A new series of posts starts with these pictures of recently based Huns from Gripping Beast's Steppe Nomads range.


This series will plot the progress of two armies in two different scales linked by the common theme of horse archers.


The first army is the Huns for DBA and ADLG in 28mm with figures entirely from Gripping Beast. The second army is the Mongols for both DBA and ADLG in 15mm with figures from Museum Miniatures. Both very similar in nature although the Huns offer more detail and basing opportunities due to the larger scale.


Currently working on the horses for the Huns as a separate project broken down into different categories by horse colour as below:



The list is from a Trello card and finding this app very useful in tracking larger projects like the Huns and Gondor Rampant. 

After the horse-flesh tones are completed it will be on to the trappings for the horses and then basing and finishing. The riders will follow as a separate project split by light, medium, heavy and command stands. Hoping to complete the entire army for spring 2021 or earlier if at all possible. 

Cheers for now
