Ancient Bagtastic Elements

15mm Ancient Baggage Elements Completed

I recently put in an order with Baueda for some more baggage models. I needed to finish off some missing elements to ensure I have sufficient elements suitable for a variety of armies. Along with this order I had a look through my already completed elements to see what I have never used and do not really need. More about these further down my posting.

My Attalid Pergamene army was missing some elements. I usually use any suitable models I think fit the bill. Baueda make a huge variety of baggage tents and I treat the label on their packaging as a guide not a rule. I had to add a Single tent and a Double tent to complete my baggage options.

Next up are some baggage elements that have sat in my Baggage Box unused ever since I painted them. A mate at the club asked me if Project Lead Mountain had anything suitable for him to use for his Sassanid army project. Initially I said no but I then remember that I had these unused elements that are surplus to requirements. So these are now SOLD.

 

Last up are some elements that will be going on EBay in due course which are unused DBE Mobile Baggage elements.

Scythians - The Commanders

Scythian - Xyston Commanders

My previous entry for the Scythians was on the 1st of May. The large gap is because of my impulse purchase of the T'ang army that I have recently blogged about. I wont go into much detail about the T'ang except they have all been removed from their bases and put on new bases in preparation for it being completed after the Scythians.

I purchased the Xyston commander castings because I wanted them to match their noble cavalry. Again they required some cleaning up and careful assembly. In the end I only needed 13 castings but it has taken what seems like weeks to finish them. I am very pleased with the end result.

There are three Irr Cv S elements and two Irr LH F command elements elements.

I used the following Xyston packs to create the elements:

ANC20065 50mm Wire Spears with Leaf Shaped Points

ANC20191 Severed Heads

ANC20237 Scythian Kings & Nobles

ANC20240 Scythian Bodyguard Cavalry

ANC20243 Scythian Musicians & Standards Mounted

ANC20245 Idanthyrsus Personality Pack

ANC20247 Scythian Cavalry Shields

ANC20248 Scythian Ornate Shields

Scythian King Irr Cv S

Scythian Sub-General Irr Cv S

Scythian Sub-General Irr Cv S

Scythian CinC/King Irr LH F 

Scythian Sub-General Irr LH F

Next on the painting table is the Scythian baggage elements, of which I seem to have purchased sufficient to create about 32 elements of baggage so some of this is going on EBay once its finished.

Essex Warriors 2018 DBM Tournament 2nd Round Results & 3rd Round Draw

ESSEX WARRIORS 2018 DBM TOURNAMENT 2nd ROUND RESULTS
& 3rd ROUND DRAW

With the last of the six 2nd Round games being played on Sunday I can now announce the current standings and the 3rd Round draw. Thankfully everyone is now on different VP totals and no one needed to be bumped because they had already played each other. Realistically I am fairly confident that the bottom four players are now out of the running for a top three finish unless some results are flukes. There's certainly all to play for with the top eight players although it will depend on 3rd Round results going in the right order for some of them to have a realistic chance of taking the title this year. For me the surprises of the 2nd Round were the top two results which were quite decisive and not what I had expected to happen. Having seen all the players armies in action and having copies of their lists to study I had not expected these two games to be as one sided as they turned out. For the sake of fairness I always send my opponent my own list as soon as I know the draw so they are not disadvantaged in any way. The BYE army was listed in case anyone had to drop out or there were odd numbers of entrants. So far this has not happened although I have used this army in a few games to get some practice in against a varied list of enemies.
