Happy 85th Aniversary of a Mob Hit!

Once again we have reached that odd Hallmark Holiday. I hope everyone enjoys the hearts and cupids. Surely Al Capone was a marketing genius to have turned it around. :)

Welcomes
Welcome to two new followers: Jonathan Freitag and Josh McNutt. I can't find a link to a blog for Josh McNutt. either of you but I thought Jonathan had one. Anyway, let me know and I will update the post with a link. Jonathan has a great blog Palouse Wargaming Journal. (I knew you had one, I just could not remember)

Zulus
Well I have begun painting these little guys in earnest. I have 11 of them painted so far. Of these, 8 are unmarried with spears and three are married or ringheads. I am experimenting with basing. So far I am trying 3 or 4 figures on a small Flames of War biscuit base. I think it looks OK. I will base the leaders on a small round washers. Once I try this with a few more groups, I will take some pictures. I want to see what it looks like in a large group.

British Desert Troops
With the last push, I managed to finish off the final Bren Carrier and 8 casualty figures. The casualty figures need a tiny bit of basing work. Not much needs to be done but it should add a little something to the finish them out.

Dark Age Ssaxons
Well I managed to get the longship primed. I still want to get 2 more ships. I want the rowed one from Peter Pig and the knarr from Old Glory. I think it would make for an interesting little fleet. I am not sure when I will get back to Dux Britansiarum but it is definitely on the to do list.

Anyway, happy Friday everyone.
