Choices of the week #17

Hello everyone. I'm back from the tournament, and it felt good to meet people playing the same game, in a good mood, sometimes talking nonsense. I managed to finish my army in the nick of time, doing the flocking in my hotel room on Friday night. Here is the proof:

I played a Syracusan army, with more or less success. I'll tell you more about it later, I still have the pics to sort out. And now, I have to paint some stuff for another tournament next week-end, in Lyon. Yepee. But before that, let's do our weekly review. At least, if our internect connection allows me to do it... Bugger


We'll start with the batreps, with first the battle of Falkirk in 15mm, on a nice table:

Then , still in the lace and flouncy shirts, a test of Ga Pa during the War of Spanish Succession:

Ok, back to my brushes and the camera
