Well I haven't done much with my Quar collection for a number of months, I have a load of Crusaders ready for basing but they still sit in their box waiting patiently, this should all change thanks to some new releases from Zombiesmith/Wargames Atlantic.
The Fidwog have arrived!! I have small number of metal infantry that are still to be painted, too few to do much with but when I saw that these were available to buy now I got a box at a good deal from Sarissa, delivered in two days as well, great service! You get 12 rhyflers and two small tractors, the figures are fine and didn't take too long to put together and the tractors are lovely quirky, little models, looking forward to painting these up, all glued together today and hopefully primed tomorrow.I also got two packs to got with this set, a pack of 3 miners and a pack of 2 officers.
I also have some metal Coftyrans on the table but they need a bit of work before they see any paint, necks to be drilled out,a rms and weapons attached, also winging their way from Sarrisa are some more Coftyran infantry plus some add on packs, officers, snipers etc.
Must admit I fair enjoyed getting back into the Quar after such a long break, they are such quirky figures and a joy to put together and paint, never fail to bring a smile to my face.
I need some more Crusaders and some more vehicles and I should have enough for a very decent sized game, my main hope is they do some cavalry as the metal ones are really great figures but not available at the moment. Anyway that's it for now, o until next time.......
I love the Quar. I have a batch of the new plastic from the core set still waiting for paint. I also have a massive force of both Creevin and Western Arnyarans in 15mm that have yet to see a battlefield. Seems are gaming tastes run in very similar ways.
ReplyDeleteI really fancy getting into the 15mm for some big battles, they look really neat little models. I will look forward to seeing your forces when they get their turn on the table, should be a treat!
DeleteYour painting scheme is really quite cool!
ReplyDeleteNot my work Jon, I wish!! These are the stock shots form Wargames Atlantic, but I will be following the scheme. Priming them all tomorrow.
DeleteThe new plastics look cool. Need to pick up some Fidwog for my collection
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice wee set Neil, worth it for the two tractors, they really are lovely little models. I saw on the Zombiesmith site that they are doing separate heads etc. to convert the Crusader/Coftyran figures into Gwynt and Toulmore, which is a nice idea as well.
