| Or, at least the figures I got from Harry. |
 |
| It was short a few figures including a standard bearer - about six figures all together. |
 |
| I'm currently going through the cavalry - one unit nearly finished, another cast but hasn't been undercoated yet. Realistically about five cavalry units needed, plus perhaps another unit of light javelins and 150 or so warband infantry - half Gallic, half Galation! |
 |
| Fom GA4, GAC1 would be another good alternative but wearing a cloak. |
 |
| Big fan of Molly Tuttle so when these very early and totally unavailable cds came up on ebay... sniped the auction and got them for just over a tenner each! I bid well over twice that but didn't expect to win - so I'm happy. On the other hand her band Golden Highway has broken up so no more Bronwyn or Shelby... |
 |
| When I was going through the figures some of the GA4 spearmen were painted slightly differently to the rest. Naturally, I thought 'OK, make them medium rather that light medium infantry and call them mercenary spearmen from beyond the Alps'. |
 |
| Then I thought 'why not do all the spearmen on MI bases and call them Galations?' |
 |
| So I now have 80 Galation spearmen... which really means I don't have enough of either the LMI or MI for full armies, which means I probably need a load more figure... |
Incidentally, the lack of swordsmen in the range bothers me. I've looked at the various figures and this figure looks like the one that works best as a swordsman. So need to do some of them as well...
First, quick reminder of what day it is. We owe a lot of servicemen and it's only right to make a big thing of it. Thank you.

| Simple conversion of GAC2 - Cavalryman with javelin and shield, unarmoured. Left foot bent forwards and stuck on a base... I can live with the thin legs. |
 |
| I'll probably 'need' a couple more of these units as well as a couple of units of them as light cavalry. Paint pens are a major boon when it comes to doing the cloaks and shields! |
 |
| Might get back to the Romans eventually.. original figure in the centre, officer and spear/shield cavalryman conversions - gives all the figures for an interesting cavalry unit... |
 |
| The cavalry figure mounted on bases as infantry (just pointed the left foot forward for the standard bearer, cut down standard and hammered flat for officer. Two other standard bearer conversions in centre. |
 |
| Lousy picture - spear/shield cavalryman given a standard. |
This lot, together with other Gallic conversions, make an army more viable. Meanwhile, all the figures with bison headresses give an interesting option - a fantasy army of Northern Barbarians...
 |
| A bought item... money box acting as a biscuit tin but really an interesting balloon... love this, don't intend to paint over it, just pretend it's different things... |
 |
| Sorting out old cake decorations yielded quite an eclectic mix... 40-50mm tall models so fit in with some of my 42mm stuff (?). |
 |
| Already got a load of stock cars, really must make a race track (A3 3mm MDF boards!) |
 |
| And a few odd bits - Santa is 40mm tall. Probably dates back to the 1950s or 60s! |
So, quite a lot of stuff being added to the wargames heap.
