Preparing for my kids birthday party..

My son turning 9 decide that he wanted me to host a "painting party" for him and his class mates. Being a good, kind and fair father I said yes.

Remembered that I had some Fire Locks from Warlord, thanks Nils for reminding me, unused in a box, so now on Saturday the kids are painting Warlord Fire Locks.

They are now glued and mounted on bases, ready to be primed tomorrow...

Did a preeorder on Amazon.co.uk today

Colonies and Conquest: Asia 1494-1698 - Field of Glory: Renaissance No. 4


"Take on the role of a Portuguese conquistador or Dutch colonist, pushing ever-eastwards, seeking to bring trade and religion to the continent, or command the colorful and unique armies of India, China or Japan, and defend and expand your own empires. With artwork, maps and historical overviews, Colonies and Conquest presents everything you need to wargame the battles and conflicts of Renaissance-era Asia."

I have a few hundred 15mm Japanese minies unpainted ready to be drafted for the Japanese hordes. Planing to paint 2 armies to obtain some historical opponents in play.
