Choices of the week #23

Ah yes. Father's day. The only day where we are supposed to do nothing but what we like.... Right. I prefer spending some time at work at the moment, simply because there is nothing to do, and I can then paint a bit ;). Unless I watch the games. Well done Les Bleus!

Ah la fete des peres, avec son cortege de cadeaux faits maison... Le seul jour ou theoriquement nous pouvons faire ce que nous voulons... Theoriquement. Perso, je prefere rester au boulot, car au moins je n'ai rien a faire en ce moment , et du coup je peux peindre un peu. Bon ok, je regarde les matchs. Bravo les gars pour hier soir.


As usual, we'll start the review with the batreps:
First, a nice batrep set during the English civil war. The real one, using Pike and Shotte, in 28mm:

It's not an Ork truk, it's simply a French armoured car of the Early WW2

The colonial wars have always fascinated me. So, when I see some great pics for the North-West frontier:

Even though I don't like Romans, when they're so well painted, I appreciate them:
