Posted on July 7, 2014 by Tony

The Linton Lancers are a small mercenary force I created for a game at my club’s recent Open Day. The name came about simply because Linton is the name of village where the club meets, and since I was using … Continue reading →

With the release of a number of add-on packs for our 15mm range recently, I thought I’d have some fun upgrading one of our vehicles with some of them. I chose a Shaman hover tank which I’d decided to paint … Continue reading →

Posted on June 16, 2014 by Tony

Slow but Steady

Posted on September 17, 2013 by Tony

Another bout of late-working has meant little progress on anything Brigade-related. I have however been slowly ploughing on with some painted examples of our British spaceships. I’ve gone for a mid-blue (Tamiya XF-18) scheme airbrushed on, with the ‘rib’ sections … Continue reading →

Painting Belgians part one – the infantry

Posted on August 16, 2013 by Phil

I’ve been meaning to produce a painting guide for our Great War Belgian figures for a rather long time. Since I’m currently working on a project that involves painting a large number of them now seemed a good time to … Continue reading →

Nap of the Earth

Posted on January 17, 2013 by Tony
