Wood bases on a magnetic tray

Despite all precautions, my back was turned when the moving apes tilted this fully laden cabinet on its side to take it up the stairs. Every shelf is lined with magnetic sheeting and is mostly filled with steel based miniatures, primarily 15mm. I didn't have the heart to open this thing up for months, unwilling to face the destruction inside. When I finally screwed up the courage I was massively pleased; all the steel based miniatures held fast and there was no damage that I could tell to what amounted to a lifetimes worth of work. There was one exception:

Opening the top drawer of this miniatures chiffonier revealed the disaster seen here. This is not a recreation!

What better time to re-base these Arabs for FFL games? I got tired of moving all the individual figures and ensuring their spacing was mob like. So, figures who were rifle armed were based no more than 2 per base and melee weapon armed figures were based up to 4 per base, leaving command figures individually based and enough other quantities to deal with casualty removal.

mmmm .. book porn ...

I finally got around to setting up my painting area. I'm not totally finished but you get the idea how its gonna shake out. And at last I can actually get some painting done in this set up.

Legion Mule Company up at the moment.

AWI Militia, Cossack Wars, and French Voltiguers on deck ...

Old Glory 15mm Cossacks vs Voltigeurs

Voltigeurs in Trouble

Essex 15mm ACW Zoaves

Early war Confederate unit based for Johnny Reb.

Great miniatures Essex ...

RAFM Maniacs

Not sure what I'm going to uses these for exactly but they were fun to paint up.

25mm Ghost Miniatures - Rangers

This is a fairly underrated line of miniatures in my book ..

 

Zombie Horde

From a zombie game Halloween 2005.
As I look at these over 5 years later I think I should have done broken urban terrain on the unquestionably modern sculpts (the Copplestone ones primarily)

Mostly West Wind zombies in the front here, GW ones in the back ...

Copplestone zombies in front ...

Note the flame effects on a couple of these ... Those were done for two reasons: 1) There were a couple miscast castings whose limbs couldn't be fixed with paint alone and 2) I had a blob of green stuff left over from another project that needed an immediate purpose before it dried up.

Foundry American Civil War

These I painted up as gifts to my gaming group in Fresno, California. And they each got a box of rocks too!

25mm Old Glory - Indian Mutiny - 93rd Highlanders

This unit was my parting gift to the Indian Mutiny Wargaming Group on Yahoo. I was a founding member but had to leave the group when I moved to Texas in May of 2008.
