Warlord Games have just released a new figure (and his dog!) - clearly based on the hero from a certain film. I was fortunate in being asked to paint one for display, and Paul has kindly allowed me to show off the painted version whilst they're still showing the 'grey' on the Warlord site. Obviously, this guy was intended for use with a Roman army fighting the Germans, but he'll do nicely as a 'Big Man' (to use TooFatLardies parlance) for any Roman army from the first couple of centuries AD. I'm hoping that they're going to do a mounted version as well.
I've painted something else for Warlord, but I'm not allowed to show it to you until they announce it in their newsletter - probably in two weeks time. I've also got a little stack of other Warlord lead to paint, but again, I'd have to kill you if I told you what it was.
I'm going to take a break from painting for a couple of days now, in order to scribble down some more ideas for my ancients rules. They're evolving and becoming more 'Lardy-esque' - using cards to control what might loosely be called the turn sequence.
