Stones & Skirmishes: 28mm Balearic Slingers

Today, we're taking a little detour back to 28mm and diving into Antiquity: Balearic Slingers by Victrix. These miniatures are individually based, making them perfect for skirmish systems like SAGA and others.

Every now and then, I try to revisit and finish old projects, even if I don’t plan on expanding them further. I use these opportunities to keep training my "painting eye" and, more importantly, to clear some much-needed space. That’s exactly the case here: once finished, this unit will be heading to a new home as I'll be putting them up for sale shortly.

The Swedish Lion Roars: 15mm Dragoons and Leadership for the Crown

Another Thursday, another update on the blog – and surprise: even more Swedish reinforcements have been mustered!

Specifically, I’ve raised another unit of Dragoons, giving me the tactical flexibility to field either two Small (S) sized regiments or one Medium (M) sized unit. On top of that, I’ve completed a base representing a Major for "By Fire and Sword", along with the final base of Pikemen for my National Infantry Regiment. Not a bad haul for the last two weeks, if I do say so myself!

As for the miniatures: the Dragoons and the Major (complete with his standard bearer) are "true" 15mm from Wargamer.Pl, while the Pikemen are from Totentanz Miniatures.
