Heretical Gaming is my blog about my gaming life, featuring small skirmishes and big battles from many historical periods (and some in the mythic past or the far future too). The focus is on battle reports using a wide variety of rules, with the occasional rules review, book review and odd musing about the gaming and history. Most of the battles use 6mm-sized figures and vehicles, but occasionally 15mm and 28mm figures appear too.

Hobby Update 22 Sep 25

A very short follow-on from my last hobby post: a few pictures of other stuff I have finished working on recently. First up, Warlord Roman Auxilia (for my youngest son):
 


 
And then some extra Baccus 6mm WSS troops:

Prussian infantry in the foreground (Markgraf Christian, Alt Dohna, Holstein-Beck, Markgraf Albrecht)

Hanoverian Horse (Gardes du Corps, Croix de Frechappel, von Goden, Noyelles) and Foot (De Charles, Bernstorff, Leib Infantry)

And a base each of British (35th), Dutch (de Waes) and Spanish (Toledo)
 
I have also been given some painted 6mm Ancient, GNW and WSS armies. They will require a separate post to do them justice, but they are a very useful set which really expands the number of battles, particularly, ancient battles, I can refight with something close to the correct troops. Next on the painting tray for me are some more WSS: Bavarian Foot and some Spanish Horse are closest to completion.

  1. Great work on all of those John:)! I'm trying to get back into painting now that Summer is past, but easier said than done, especially with 1:1 painting of the kitchen taking priority;).

    1. Thanks Steve. I am hoping that now we have had a bit of a switch around at home, it may be a bit easier to exploit little free chunks of time, which tends to be when I make most progress.

    1. Thanks Norm. He did seem pleased! He has quite the collection of Warlord Ancients now, with plenty of Romans and some Greeks. There are some Celts in the painting pile also.

  3. Lovely figures, I very much like the 6mm WSS stuff. I was never really a fan of those big Polemos bases, but they do look good en masse and are less fiddly than my smaller 30mm bases.

    1. Thanks Martin - painting 6mm WSS figures is one of the bits of the hobby I like the most. And agreed, there are definite trade-offs between flexibility, fiddliness and appearance.
