Infamy Infamy off we go

What do you do when you have over a dozen projects on the go? Start another one of course!

The publication of Infamy Infamy by the Too Fat Lardies gave me the opportunity to return to one of my first periods in wargaming and also collect a force I always wanted but never added to the numerous 15mm Ancient Armies languishing in their storage boxes the Ancient Britains. It would also mean that I could get a force of Romans which again I have never collected in 40 years and gaming.

One of the first decisions made however was that I was going to use “shield transfers” as I was not going to attempt to hand paint that many designs. Also the use of these transfers make the figures “pop” and can hide a multitude of sins in the painted figures.

So after drooling over the Wargames Foundry Ancient Britains/Celts the first disappointment and Little Big Man Studios (LBMS) not producing shield transfers for them.

So the first decision and an order was dispatched to Vivrix for packs of both their armoured and unarmoured warriors with the accompanying LBMS shield transfers.

This then left me the decision as to what to do about the Romans and whether to go for a Caesarian or Early Imperial force and at the moment I still haven’t decided.

When they arrived I started on the unarmoured warriors and was pleasantly surprised at the ease of construction and the variety that can be obtained. The first 48 figures were soon built and based ready for priming.

So it was out with the airbrush and a coat of Vallajo light grey primer applied and I was ready for the off.
