Some random 10mm Napoleonic eye candy...

Hi all!

Thought I would just share a few bits of eye candy from a recent photo session... always love to look at oodles of toy soldiers!:)

 

A bunch of painted Mantic "The Walking Dead" photos

Hey all!

Well, just eye candy today... no story, no game, just terrain and figures!

My buddy's pirates, and other eye candy!

Hey all!

Well, I stopped by my buddy's place, as he was starting in on a 28mm pirate table, and I thought I would take some photos!

Here is the first ship he has put out... he has maybe six or seven, but is waiting for more terrain to arrive before he puts anything else out there.

Someone hails the ship from the docks...

A conversation...

He made this out of some 3D printed stuff, carefully cutting open the giblet to get the skeleton in there.

Here are a few of the pirates... he hasn't put most of them out yet, as there are major changes coming, but we had to get a FEW photos!:)

Loved this island, and particularly the ground cover... more about this in a later post.

He has TWO skull islands on the table, because he is going a little fantasy, and this one, he hollowed out and put a flickering light into!

The table, from the other side.

While I was there, I figured I'd snap a few other photos... here is a box of old school 15mm Russians, some 40+ years old... some of the oldest in the collection.

Another selection of them.

25mm ACW Reb cav... that's a lot of horses!

Some Reb command.

Some 6mm Napoleonic troops.

Some WW2 Americans, ready to fight at Foy.

The American command.

The American army, summer and spring edition!

Another shot of them.

Some 25mm Vikings...

And one last shot of the room!

Hope the eye candy was worthwhile!:)

World's best wargames room...?

Hey all!

Okay, so I went by my buddy's place last night, to check out his (mostly) finished Wargames Room.

And I've gotta say... it might be about the nicest one out there!

Okay, for the gamers out there... here is the table.  It's RIGHT at the beginning of a setup... very early in the maturation process, in terms of table layout.

So I am going to take you on a virtual "tour" around the room of the various "stuff."

First cabinet... with a great viking helmet, the world's greatest whiskey bottle, and a bunch of WWII miniatures.

Here is the aforementioned whiskey bottle... a globe with a tall ship inside.  It was full a week ago.

The viking helmet.

So, here is the fireplace side of the room.

The cabinet is half of the 25mm ACW Union collection.  The smaller hanging cabinet is a 25mm pirate collection.  The uniforms is one of three originals in here; an original Richmond depot jacket, and an original kepi.  

Here is a better shot of the jacket and kepi.  

Above the faux stained glass window is a hanging cavalry sabre and some great French marshals.

An ACW era box of medicine.

Some classic books.

The other side of the fireplace.  You can see in this shot the cabinet with the 25mm moderns collection, the Irish Brigade flag, the great Herb Gundt Seminary, and an original NY cavalry uniform.  

The fridge, uniform, and guns again.

More guns!

An awesome original New York militia uniform.

A shot of the other side of the room.

A huge shelf of 40mm AWI miniatures.

Some GREAT "western" guns...

Guns!

The sitting area at the far end of the room.

Welcome to Valhalla!  That is what my buddy is calling his wargames building... full of warriors, and a place you want to spend the rest of your life!:)

A bunch of original pistols.

Ahh, a LeMat!

So my buddy is a huge ACW buff, and particularly a medical guy.  So he has TONS of original medical gear.  These are four shelves of original stuff.

Shelf 2.

Shelf 3.

Shelf 4.

A cabinet of 25mm ACW figures... this time the Rebs.

A drum turned into a table, and a fantastic (not original) AWI uniform.

Another shot of this side of the room... you can see the cabinet of medical supplies in the back, with a box of original pistols above it.

The TV... because everyone needs a TV in the war room!

A fantastic fowler.

And, if you have to leave... here is the way out!

I'll add more information to this when my buddy tells it to me!:)
