Lord Ashram Contest

As many of you know, Lord Ashram's House of War is going on hiatus while its author adjusts to a second baby and the loss of gaming space that involves.

He is running a neat contest where readers can win a free copy of Sam Mustafa's "Maurice."  Go check it out and pay tribute to one of the best wargaming blogs out there!

18mm Blue Moon Rebel Infantry Command Stands

My last group of rebel infantry needed some flags and officers.  All figures are Blue Moon.  Flags are from GMB.  Bases are Litko.

More 18mm Blue Moon Rebel Infantry

I spent most of April painting these 120 figures.

I changed my style a bit on those hats, opting for two tone shading instead of my usual drybrush over black.

The Blue Moon figures certainly reward the extra time spent in painting two tones on everything.

I went with more butternuts and browns on these figures.  They have some greys, but not many.

I have read some people complaining that the figures are too large to fit on standard 1" x 3/4" bases.  These bases are 25mm by 15mm, smaller than the standard bases, and the figures fit just fine.  It is snug, but I like that look for massed ranks.

I have another 180 of these figures to prep.  Soon I will be able to play most scenarios with nothing but Blue Moon rebels.
