Tbh , since my work changed from painting to sculpting, I never seem to have any spare time for blogging.<br />
I rarely paint anymore which is what this blog was originally for.<br />
The Brigantes blog showcases my work stuff , as does facebook.<br />
In fact I tend to use facebook more often than anything else.<br />
I still game on a regular basis, but taking a few pics on my phone and posting them on facebook is far easier and quicker than the time spent on here.<br />
Maybe I can just leave this as it is and maybe in the future get back to it at some point.<br />
I know people still visit it by the number of page views it still gets.<br />
When I get around to working on some of my own hobby projects, this blog may seem useful again.<br />
Who knows.<br />
Any bloggers thoughts would be good<br />
till then<br />

Simon Miller and Andrew Brentnalls upcoming "For King and Parliament" ECW varaint of "To the Strongest".<br />
I must say that this is proving to be a great set of rules for the ECW period.<br />
It has all the flavour of the period and is as much fun to play as TTS.<br />
<br />
It has the usual card activation that really does have you screaming at the cards and having the odd chuckle at your unlucky opponent, until the roles are reversed and they are laughing at you that is.<br />
<br />
TTS is probably my favorite rule set for the ancient period in a long time.<br />
<br />
Anyone who hasn't tried it yet should do so.<br />
<br />
I am still extremely busy with sculpting, hence the lack of updates on my blog.<br />
Still managing to game on a Thursday night though which is a good thing really as I need my gaming fix.<br />
<br />
There are quite a few pics from the last few months gaming etc, on my facebook page.<br />
Check them out as I'm not reposting it all again here.<br />
<br />
On a lighter note,<br />
Andy still loves Napoleonics.<br />
Glen loves WW2<br />

Sorry it has been so long, but I just don't seem to have time to update this on a regular basis.<br />
Just never enough hours in the day.<br />
Anyhows, what have I been up to.<br />
Well! any of you who follow the Brigantes Studio blog will see that myself and Andy are pulled out with the workloads we have.<br />
Which to be honest has not let much time for the hobby.<br />
We still game most Thursdays although Andy has missed a few and I have also had the cancel the game due to my head being all over the place.<br />
But we try and make the Thursday evenings game a bit of respite from the rest of the industry we are involved in.<br />
I would love to get some time to do some hobby stuff of my own, but a busy schedule and my limited work time mean that will have to take a back seat for now.<br />
Although I may get my BA Chindits done in the near future, (haha Get ready Glenn).<br />
A few pics of some fairly recent games.<br />

We play quite a lot of Commands & Colours.<br />
Ancients & Napoleonics.<br />
I have also adapted the rules to the Medieval period and the Linear Period.<br />

I still love the Hexon terrain system.<br />
It is so versatile and durable.<br />
Having a full green and Arid set is really useful and it works brilliantly for Commands & Colours<br />

A few pics above from Thursdays SYW game.<br />
A sort of mix between CaC and Black Powder, It played very well indeed.<br />
A couple of tweaks were needed and now we have a very quick play wargame with a real period feel to it.<br />
Linear warfare can be tricky but this was spot on<br />
Myself and Glenn had the Austrian Army (I had the bloody Reichsarmee)<br />
Andy (Loki) had the Prussians.<br />
It was a very close run game with Andy nicking a fine victory at the end with some great moves.<br />

<br />
So what next?<br />
Well Brigantes is mental at the moment.<br />
All effort is going in to getting through a massive workload.<br />
Still will be gaming though.<br />
As for blogging, I know I have said before that I will try to Blog more.<br />
But to be honest, it's not really going to happen.<br />
Not until I get more time that is.<br />
But I do get time for Facebook and regular updates appear on there as it it easier and I can do it on my phone.<br />
So if you aint found me on FB, please look.<br />
Keep checking the Brigantes Blog for some superb painting and my latest attempts at sculpting.<br />
Be safe everone.<br />
Thanks for looking<br />

We had a couple of afternoons of Battle Cry ACW.<br />
All three of us had a great time and won a game or two.<br />
Alex my youngest plays very well.<br />
I think he will be the future wargamer as Luke the eldest prefers his pc.<br />
Great couple of days though.<br />

19th & 20th March<br />
<br />
Oh Dear!!!!<br />
<br />
What can I say really?<br />
<br />
After the highs of Hammerhead to the lows (rock bottom really) of Triples.<br />
The internet is awash with reviews on the Sheffield Show.<br />
The biggest in the North (pmsl).<br />
I know I said I wasn't going, but business forced my hand, so with my 9yo son in tow I headed for the show.<br />
I got there at 1pm ish on the Saturday.<br />
I could not believe how empty it was, tumbleweed central.<br />
I could rant on for ages about why.<br />
I'll leave that for you to troll the web and make your own minds up.<br />
Suffice to say, It was shite!<br />
<br />
I hope Partizan is better.<br />
Please,<br />
Pretty Please.<br />

Wow!<br />
What a superb show again.<br />
Myself, Andy (Loki) and Glenn had a great day.<br />
Hammerhead, run by Kallistra is in it's 2nd year at the George Stephenson building at the Newark showground.<br />
A good sized venue with all amenities, plenty of space and great lighting.<br />

<br />
Parking is free and right outside the venue.<br />
<br />
Once we had concluded our usual business, it was time to enjoy the show.<br />
We had a great time, spent a bit, got a good few bargains and increased the collections yet again.<br />
The show was still buzzing and very busy when we left at 3pm.<br />
Every game at Hammerhead is a participation game and the mix of Traders is superb.<br />
I know there is a limit on the traders as not to swamp the main emphasis of the show that is "Gaming".<br />
I think Kallistra have really hit the nail on the head with this format.<br />
No demo games where things may look nice, but never move.<br />
With people crouched over the table and ignoring the rest of the world that is milling around them.<br />
The Bring and buy has also gone.<br />
As you may know, the B&B is a bit of a "don't mention it" to me.<br />
I hate the fact that most are run by traders who in reality should have a trade stand.<br />
You have the farce of booking it in and having to keep checking if its sold.<br />
You cannot negotiate with a buyer or seller as they are not there.<br />
The table top sale is a fantastic idea.<br />
You hire a table for an hour or longer to sell your stuff.<br />
Easy for the organisers as they only need one person there to book people in.<br />
You then get your stuff out and sell it.<br />
You are also there when people want to negotiate on the prices or do deals.<br />
A great format and well done Hammerhead.<br />
<br />
This is how shows should be.<br />
If you wasn't there, you missed a real little belter of a show.<br />
See you next March....<br />
<br />
Big thanks to Andy for driving and picking up Battle Cry off the TTS. Glenn for making us laugh so much with his WW2 purchases.<br />
To all the gamers who put up with us (lol).<br />
and finally to Paul & Sally (Kallistra) and all who made Hammerhead such a great show.<br />
<br />

2016 is upon us.<br />
Brigantes Studio is extremely busy.<br />
So much so that if I get time to do anything else it will be a miracle.<br />
But you never know.<br />
I see the Analogue Challenge is at full swing and good luck to all.<br />
I painted a few Persian elements over crimbo.<br />
For C&C Ancients really but they will also work for HC.<br />
I also have a new Facebook page for 1/72 Gaming, panting etc.<br />
Please check it out.<br />
<br />
I'm back on the brushes and Greenstuff and still having treatment for my hands.<br />
But all is good at the moment, lets hope it stays that way.<br />

Sorry for the silence, but my head has been in a pretty crap place.<br />
As most of you know, I have had some serious problems with my hands and arms.<br />
An ongoing medical investigation has turned up many new and old problems.<br />
But not to bore you all stupid with all that, I will suffice to say that things are moving forward.<br />
A mix of trapped nerves and Moderate to severe Arthritis is probably the cause.<br />
The surgeon wont operate as it's a real mess in there so it's medication, rests and arm splints ahead.<br />
<br />
I'm back at my bench and working reduced hours with help from some very nice pain killers.<br />
My dexterity is still very much reduced and the feeling is not all there yet, but I'm carrying on.<br />
<br />
My lack of working hasn't stopped my gaming needs though.<br />
I still game most weeks and plenty of my exploits have been on facebook.<br />
<br />
I have not been completely idle either.<br />
I have re-based many armies (that I could manage), re-organised storage, and generally just messed with my current collections.<br />
I started to Play Commands & Colours Ancients and really enjoy that.<br />
I have also been messing with the rulesets etc.<br />
Andy has kept Brigantes up and running and I thank him dearly for that.<br />
Hopefully I will now be more active on here.<br />
As this is my personal blog, it will be only my stuff on here.<br />
Tonight is just myself and Ian.<br />
We are playing C&C Ancients.<br />
I'll take a few pics.<br />
Thank you for listening<br />

I have seen the surgeon who was very good and is fairly certain that it is not Carpal Tunnel syndrome.<br />
He recons it is something to do with my Ulnar Nerves that run under the arm and under the elbow.<br />
I have to go for a EMG, Nerve conduction test.<br />
This is on the 26th Aug.<br />
Things have not improved and resting has done no good whatsoever.<br />
I myself am feeling a bit more positive in whats happening and going to try to do a bit of work.<br />
Probably just some basic stuff to start with.<br />

<b>Big</b> thanks to Andy (Loki) for the offer of taking me as it is a fair trip to the hospital.<br />
Hopefully should have some answers and maybe a cure (wishful but positive thinking).<br />
I really can't wait to get back to my work room.<br />

I am struggling to do pretty much anything at the moment.<br />
All commission work is on hold as I try to sort this problem out.<br />
This hobby is my job as well as my passion and I can honestly say that it is driving me nuts.<br />
I am completely Bored and really gutted with this and trying to get some medical advice just seems to be taking forever.<br />
I keep trying to do stuff, but what is the point if I can't keep up the quality.<br />
My dexterity is shot to hell and I'm in constant pain.<br />
Just simple things like holding a sculpt tool or a paintbrush is painful after 10 minutes.<br />
I have now been referred to a hand surgeon.<br />
No appointments as yet, so it's a waiting game once again.<br />
<br />
ps...<br />
I now need a soft touch keyboard, FFS.....Kevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02296421155011055301noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213746667515575838.post-18882640319361888932015-04-30T11:23:00.001+01:002015-04-30T11:23:40.742+01:00Famous by my Sword, Montrose in the ECWIt's been a while since I posted anything.<br />

<br />
I really do love the ECW period.<br />
It's great for gaming and painting and in my view was a pivotal part of our history.<br />
Many books have been written on the subject and I have read many of them.<br />
It is a period I game using the Pike & Shotte BP supplement from Warlord.<br />
<br />
The history and tactics I am pretty much clued up on, so what has Charles done different with his current publication ?<br />
Montrose, a colourful character, who, although I know of him and what he did, I know very little about his army.<br />
My own opinion that his army was a highland force with lots of clansmen giving the Covenanters a good bashing with the glorious highland charge while a few Irish regulars bolstered the clansmen.<br />
How wrong I was.<br />
What Charles has done in the book is to take away this myth.<br />
The army that fought for Montrose was a professional, well trained fighting force that included many Irish regulars that did most of the fighting.<br />
The book looks at all the different aspects of the Army.<br />
The Battles, organisation, tactics and does focus more on the fighting men, than on Montrose himself.<br />
The book is very similar in format to the Ospreys, although a few more pages I believe.<br />
Glossy with colour plates, b&w illustrations and a very informative text.<br />
I love the way Charles writes.<br />
The guy has a real passion for this period and it really does come through in his writing.<br />
The tiny details regarding the uniforms and the changes in fighting tactics are all here.<br />
The book is a must buy for anyone interested in the ECW period and more so if you are interested in what happened way ooop north of what the King and parliament were up to.<br />
Cracking book<br />
This is looking to be a great series by Helion and one I will be looking out for.<br />

But here is my two pennies worth.<br />
<br />
What a super show.<br />
Bigger than last year, new building that is about 4 times the size of the venue that was used in 2014.<br />

<br />
This is the George Stephenson building, impressive venue.<br />
The morning started early for us as we had trade business and handovers to sort out but all this was done by the time the show opened to the public.<br />
Now we were some of that public.<br />
A good mix of traders, although more Historical traders would be a useful addition.<br />
My preferred scale of 15mm was very hard to find (if any)<br />
Colonel Bills was probably the only seller.<br />
<br />
The games on the day were excellent.<br />
Every game was a participation game, a unique aspect of the Hammerhead show and one I really like.<br />
<br />
The tabletop sale is far better than the old B&B in my opinion.<br />
More, general gamers and hobbyists selling their stuff, instead of the B&B traders that should really have a trade stand.<br />
I found a couple of lovely little treats.<br />
A large bag of 1/72 Airfix Ancient Britons.<br />
Basically 12 complete boxes in a bag, all complete with 24 chariots and in as new condition.<br />
Bargain at £2.<br />
Yeah, two bloody quid, Happy Kevin.<br />
Also a complete box of the Revell, 1/72 Celts, Rocking horse shit find for £2.40.<br />
Boxed and still on the sprue.<br />
<br />
After much wandering, talking with friends and drinking tea.<br />
Was nice to see the lads at Ainsty and Col Bills.<br />
Always lovely to see Martin and Diane at Warbases.<br />
A great chat with Mr Priestley regarding BP & HC.<br />
We headed over to the Kallistra stand to pick up our new terrain.<br />
<br />
Andy once again beat me to the blog and posted the games room table alterations that were need to accommodate the new Hexon system.<br />
<br />
I know a lot of people hate this but, it's my room so, nah nah!<br />
It looks great and will be playing host to some rebellious Scots tonight.<br />
<br />
Anyways.<br />
Hammerhead!<br />
What a great show.<br />
If you missed it, you missed a belter of a show.<br />
Well done to the organisers for a superb day.<br />
Again next year, Deffo.<br />
Would be lovely to see Magister there and Maybe OG..Kevhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02296421155011055301noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213746667515575838.post-44673425033950591662015-02-11T12:48:00.000+00:002015-02-11T12:48:13.822+00:00Our Wargames Table is up for GrabsOver the last few years, many people have commented on how lovely our table looks.<br />
Most of the terrain was made by Andy when he ran Terra Firma Studios.<br />
Alas Terra Firma is no more as Andy had to stop making terrain due to his health.<br />
We then formed Brigantes Studio and that is our new direction.<br />
Well !<br />
We are replacing our gaming table again.<br />
We will soon be purchasing a ready made commercial system thats suits our needs better, but first we need to make room and add some funds to the pot.<br />
Hence the lot is for sale.<br />
I thought I would list it on here first to see if anyone is interested before I ebay the lot.<br />
<br />
There are all the terrain boards, Modular with hills on 3 and some roads and a coastal set.<br />
Makes an 8 x 5 table, could push to 8 x 6 with the smaller boards.<br />
Most boards are 2 x 2, with some 2 x 1 and many 1 x 1.<br />
Corner boards to add elevation and create large ridges on the table.<br />
5 stand alone hills.<br />
Loads of Flexible roads (about 3 sets) maybe more.<br />
Ploughed Fields, Some Flexible.<br />
Loads of Corn fields.<br />
Loads of Part harvested corn fields.<br />
A Flexible Rough Ground set.<br />
Wood Bases, (we are keeping the Summer Trees but the autumn trees are included).<br />
Field works.<br />
Walled enclosures.<br />
3 River systems (Large lot).<br />
Some 15mm Walls.<br />
Also some custom made extras, Rocky outcrops, Marshland, Road cut etc.<br />
<br />
Have a peruse though the blog if your interested as most of what you see will be included.<br />
We are keeping the buildings, fencing, some walls and the hedegrows.<br />
<br />
All in all a very nice lot and at a bargain price.<br />
Everything you need, just add a few buildings.<br />
It would have to be collected from me, but a nice cuppa would be waiting, lol.<br />
Contact me if interested.<br />

But after my Christmas break, I had a bit of a spondy flare up.<br />
I aint going to explain Spondylosis (google it)<br />
But suffice to say, it hurts like a bitch and screws with my eyesight.<br />
Blurred vision at distance and double vision up close.<br />
Even with the optivisor, painting or sculpting is like trying to avoid a minefield of Lego blocks, barefoot and in the dark.<br />
I had to rest, hence the lack of activity on here and and the odd misspelt blah blah blah on Facebook.<br />
I have been gaming though and the guys have put up with my scowling at the playsheet and rulebooks as I rolled dice and could not see the results ( as if it made any difference).<br />
<br />
I feel better now.<br />
Eased myself back into the swing of things.<br />
Now I am playing the proverbial catchup again.<br />
I am basically 6 weeks behind.<br />
I have paint and sculpt work to put to the front as other work is now snapping at my arse.<br />
Oh feckin joys.<br />
I will get there.<br />
<br />
I have painted a unit of WSS French Guards (Check the Brigantes Blog).<br />
They are on Ebay and at 28mm they are of no use to my gaming now.<br />
I painted these as my neck and eyes are better.<br />
But I wanted to make sure before I made a mess of somebody's figures.<br />
I have been back on the Greenstuff the last couple of days and the Optivisor is great again.<br />
<br />
Myself and Andy tarted up our Desert Terrain today instead of our usual gaming session.<br />
Regular gaming buddy Glenn will be away from gaming for a while after an argument with the road surface after coming off his scoot and our newest regular Ian (of The Blog with No Name) fame had to work till late.<br />
<br />
We now have some rather nice arid looking terrain to fight over.<br />
I may get a chance to use the Crusader forces at last.<br />
<br />
Anyways.<br />
A few final things.<br />
Get WELL soon Glenn.<br />
Don't work to hard Ian.<br />
Big thanks to Loki for his terrain expertise.<br />
<br />
SARACENS & CRUSADERS.......now please...<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I am having a nice break from my cabin for a week or so.<br />
I have to visit the mothership, stock up on supplies and re-charge the batteries etc...<br />
See you all in 2015.<br />
Stay safe, have fun and enjoy the season (<i>and maybe do a bit of painting when the other half aint looking</i>)<br />

Glenn was to busy working to make the game, but a visit from Ian Willey from the <a href="http://walladvantage2.blogspot.co.uk/">The Blog with No Name</a><br />
helped to make up the numbers.<br />
We had been playing quite a lot of Naps over the last few weeks.<br />
This was probably due to the fact that we have all recently swapped to 15's and now have some sizable collections already.<br />
But last Thursday, we thought we would try something a little different.<br />
<br />
As most of you are probably aware, the Ancient Brits usually get a good thumping from the might of Rome.<br />
Pretty disheartening for the Celt players.<br />
So why not have a bit of Celt on Celt action.<br />
After all, they did fight each other before the Romans got here.<br />
So, pre 55 BC or 43 AD when the proper invasion happened is the setting.<br />
We each drew a Random Tribe from the Britannia book.<br />
I got the Silures, Andy got the Cornovii and Ian got the Ordovices.<br />
We trimmed the Tribal forces a little as we were limited with the units we could use.<br />
Myself and Andy started in opposite corners with Ian deployed on the far edge fro us both.<br />
In the centre of the table was a sacred grove.<br />
This grove was out of bounds to all players bar the victor at the end.<br />

A great, fun game that was something a little different from what we usually play.<br />
Bad luck to Andy for the worst command rolls in a long time.<br />
In the end it didn't work in his favour.<br />
Bad luck to Ian, who after smashing my tribe gave as good as he got to Andy's.<br />
Enough said about my feeble effort. I cannot make a saving throw, ever.<br />
<br />
One thing did come from this though, we need more Celts, Warbands and Cavalry.<br />

After many years of wandering the wilderness of 28mm gaming, I am now finally back to where I started.<br />
Well nearly ( Like many of us I started with the old Airfix 20mm stuff) but my first foray into metals was way back in the late 70's and in 15mm.<br />
Many factors have contributed to this.<br />
The main one is gaming space, since I moved house and lost my gaming cabin.<br />
The loss of my 10 x 6 games table is one of the main reasons for down scaling.<br />
My new games room with it's meagre 6 x 5 table cannot accommodate large 28mm gaming.<br />
We tried it and it does not work.<br />
We even reduced everything to 50% and it still did not look right or work.<br />
So! all the 28mm stuff has gone. <br />
The 15mm collection is steadily growing, most periods are now covered.<br />
Although a mammoth re-basing schedule is proving to be difficult.<br />
We have also now replaced all the terrain for 15mm and the table is looking better already.<br />
Here are a few pics from last Thursdays Naps game.<br />
Andy's Russians vs My French and Bavarians.<br />
Big game, so we could see how things look and test the water.<br />
It looked great and played brilliantly (Black Powder).<br />

Maybe you have noticed that we are missing the usual yellow dice and counters.<br />
We have been using these to mark Casualties and Disorder.<br />
We have been busy creating new ways to show this without the need to fill the table with Dice etc.<br />
We now have Hex's with a casualty figure on and single figures for disorder.<br />
Check out the last pic in the far right upper corner.<br />
We are hoping to add these touch to all the periods we play.<br />
It looks a lot better.<br />
I'll pop a few pics of the markers on here in the near future.<br />
