Underpainting

So I had a couple of hours to myself this weekend and decided to review what minis I had. And all in all wasn't a bad time productivity wise.

My bicycle battalion got there texture added to their bases ready to be painted, and a few other early war cavalry support assets got undercoated. Also decided to undercoat my Carthaginian Army or at least bits of it before the spraycan ran out - this is a project I started over 5 years ago - woops! If I get on with this I might - might I say - get a Republican Roman Army to face them.

In other news I also wondered if anyone had any experience with RPGs in a box. I've got a few actual RPG sets but its really hard to get the continued interest in people to come along and play and really get into it. I also really want to play for once rather than DM. So suggestions and volunteers please!

A Song of Fire and Ice - Concept Review

Ok, so so far I have looked at three of the houses involved in Robert's Rebellion (War of the Usurper). However I'm going to pause at this point until I get a rough idea of what rules we're looking at. So far I've had a sneaky look at conceptual idea for converting:

• Warmaster Ancients
• Saga
• Lion Rampant

I have also had a quick think over what sort of armies to use (using concepts discussed on other forums).

Westerosi - French Medieval Army (More Cavalry for Tyrrell, higher tech levels for Lannister)

Stark - Scot Army

Wildlings - Celts

Greyjoy - Vikings

Martell - Hispanic/Almoravid

Dothraki - Mongol

Obviously this will be dependent on the rule set so DW lets make a decision.
