Some tree trunk counters for gaming, useful as markers or when figures move through trees.

Fireforge Teutonic Knights and Battleflag decals.

Assembly was straight forward . Standard for multipart plastics. Time consuming but allows for variety. Glued the second figure for the multi bases on sticks but used my glue gun which proved to be a mistake when it came to removing them.

First all painted white. Then white-light grey citadel contrast paint for the cloth later highlighted with white. Chain mail to the metal washed with black. Dark wood brown to weapons and horses. Some horses black. Snake brown to the leather.

Next the figures are varnished and the decals applied. Very time consuming as each one needs to be cut out and applied individually. Varnished again. Figures added to bases and base mix applied. Leather brown Vallejo paint to the ground and washed with army painter dark tone then grass tufts and yellow flowers added with pva glue.

Phil, Alex, Two Mikes and Darryl played sword of Rome via vassal. The Etruscans and Gauls allied against Rome but were held back though this pinned Rome down whilst Greece and Carthage sparred lightly in Sicily. we finished after two turns with everyone at six vp. Rome being too scared to pull ahead without the manpower to defend a lead.
