Irish Kern with Bows

Hi again! I've got another update and once again, we know 'em, we love 'em, it's more Kern!

This time I've put together block of skirmishers with bows to act in support of the gallowglass and bonnachts, or independently to harass opponents in hit-and-run attacks!

The kern themselves are the usual mix of Perry and Antediluvian figures. I've included a few more drab léine compared to the bonnachts, given that these would be poorer soldiers, and unlikely to afford the fanciest saffron dye all the time

And here's the block of skirmishers screening an advance for the charging Bonnachts

I hope they've come out ok! For a while I was debating whether to have them blocked in a more dense formation, to mirror the bows-and-bills of the other War of the Roses forces, but eventually decided against it in favor of the skirmishers

Doing something a little different from my usual miniature photo posting to talk about a series of games that I and my regular opponents have have been playing for a few years now and i'd like to share them with you to hopefully spread the word of they're existence because they have honestly been a niche gems in the wargaming industry.

Opsrey Wargames for a good number of years now have slowly been releasing a series of wargames often referred to as 'Blue Books', these are a series of miniature-agnostic rule books that cover a huge variety of different genres from Sci-fi, fantasy, historical and even a few modern settings all in different styles of play from skirmish, platoon sized and even naval/void combat.

As of writing this post they're are 32 (technically 33) so there is bound to be at least one or two books that cater to someones tastes but out of these 33 rule books I will only be talk about 3.

The first game that I will talk about is the first one that I ever came across which opened my eyes to this amazing series, Zona Alfa.

Zona Alfa is a modern/sci-fi horror skirmish game based around the Ukrainian game series S.T.A.L.K.E.R which is one of my all time favorite game series so you can imagine how pumped I was when I found out when such a game exists, it was because of this game that I now own a book shelve full of terrain from old Eastern European industrial/village buildings to abandoned vehicles and junk piles.

The game itself is a D10 alternating activation system that has two warbands of S.T.A.L.K.E.R's face off against each other to scavenge for salvage while also avoiding the many hazards of the zone such as zombies, wild dogs and mutants, the game itself can feel very exploitable at times but for what it is it's doing the job of portraying a S.T.A.L.K.E.R table top game and I think its worth checking out by anyone who is a fine of the series, granted you may wanna do some home brewing/rules adjusting.

In terms of miniature/terrain recommendations I cannot suggest anyone other then Anvil Industrys, over the years they have releasing many new miniature waves through they're Digital Forge Patreon and last year they released the perfect set for this game, Post Apocalypse Set 2, this set along along with almost every other set they have created is modular with they're entire regiment-scale range so you can go all over the place with designs and weapon loadouts.

For Terrain I went to a few different sources, a large portion of my terrain was 3D printed from a creator known as Deweycat Productions, they make a vast variety of terrain mainly used for World War 2 games like Bolt Action but I find they work perfectly for Zona Alfa, you can often find people selling prints of his work on sites like Ebay and Etsy, if the price is too much for you then you might wanna look at getting some MDF kits, TTCombat has a nice selection of Modern/Historical MDF 28mm kits that work just as well as any 3D printed plastic kit and probably go for half the price, but given the game is miniature agnostic there is nothing stopping you from using any old terrain or minis you have lying around.

I feel like I have talked about Zona Alfa enough for one post so I'll end it here but next time I will talk about the second game I came across in the Blue Book series which is perhaps the game I have played the most with my friends and the only one that I have ever played a table top wargame campaign with, A Billion Suns.

And today the local gamers are going to have the first yearly meeting session for our burgeoning Tabletop Game Hobby Association we are trying to get up and running. It’ll only be five people attending, so far, but I will make my case that I can volunteer to boost some historical war games.

Anything to get away from the looming shadow that is WH40K in the hobby, but it will be an uphill battle. If anyone plays any wargames, it can be summarized as “Oh, I used to play 40k, I am thinking about getting back into it but I don’t know anyone that plays”, and it doesn’t go any further than that.

I am going to bring up Ravenfeast - the skirmish viking game at 28mm scale with a 100% free rule set, and Team Yankee - the 15mm scale Cold War wargame which is getting a Scandinavian release soon.

Just another Wednesday morning.

It's an hour's drive into the city, and leaving right after work leaves me some time to kill at my favorite spot with my favorite lens.

So I head to Mount Washington, and the

Top.

Bottom.

Middle.

Inside.

Most every postcard view of the city, day or night, is taken from the overlook at the upper station.

Not shown is the spiked fence, which makes shooting from this spot a bit tricky for a 5'6" dude like me. Next time I'm bringing a stool.

For a change of pace, I got a shot from inside the incline car as it descended. This one is wallpapered for your consideration.

Again, with a little time to kill, I walked along the sidewalk towards the Fort Pitt Bridge.

And one "historical" picture of the approach to the bridge in glorious black and white for the archival types.

These came out much sharper than my first few goes back in May. Not only did I switch out from the relatively cheap 28mm and 50mm primes to the professional grade 28-70 f/2.8D lens (thank you, KEH), but I finally(!) discovered I could set auto ISO to use a minimum shutter speed to offset the old man camera shake. That lens is built like a tank and just as heavy.

So yeah. f/8, minimum 1/125 shutter, and GO!

As for editing, until someone tells me otherwise, it's auto straighten, crop as needs require, aberration correction, lens profile, and... auto.

Boop to @thefrogman. Hope you're feeling better this morning.

Wargames Atlantic has partnered up with Pete the Wargamer to make a multi-use spare bits set which they're funding through gamefound.

Definitely a good variety of bits that would be perfect for Warhammer 40k/Fantasy/Age of Sigmar, Frostgrave, D&D, any sort of fantasy wargaming and even a few historical ones too.

Mounted Irish Earl

Hi again!

Another Irish update! This time I wanted to attempt some figures to represent some Irish commanders on horseback, particularly with Never Mind the Billhooks' Deluxe edition giving rules for Irish cavalry!

Unfortunately finding miniatures to represent late-medieval/renaissance Irish cavalry and having them scale properly with the Perry Irish range is pretty difficult! Which meant going in to this would need some thought about converting existing figures to look the part of an Irish Earl and a mailed standard bearer to accompany him Choosing figures as bases to start the conversions was a bit of a task! I'm not hugely confident in my sculpting abilities, so I wanted to try to focus on a few key points to have the figures at least be visually recognisable without necessarily needing me to sculpt on large areas of mail or detailed clothes.

For the Earl, I visually based his appearance on the "Irish Chieftain" depicted in a few of the woodcuts in The Image of Irelande. It is worth pointing out that the book is very much a piece of Tudor English propaganda, intending to demonise the Irish and promote the English forces in Ireland, so it should be taken with a grain of salt! But in the absence of many other sources, it made for a good start

In the woodcuts, the noble ( has an interesting segmented helmet (with a plume), so that was something I definitely wanted to include. He's also wearing an interesting outfit, initially I thought it was some sort of brigandine or studded jack, but it seems to be more consistent with civilian doublets in other 16th century portraits rather than any kind of armour. Finally, as shown in the first image, the chief has a very impressive cloak (or brat), with a thick fur-like fringe, which was another definite requirement for me to include!

For the Brat, the Gaelic Attire Website (http://gaelicattire.com/brat.htm) provides a very useful explanation of its construction, and some great reproductions (which have made great reference images!). The fringes themselves appear to have been made of wool (occasionally styled to look like fur), and for the wealthy this would have been dyed in a variety of colours

With that in mind as a design direction, I decided to use one of the Perry Sudanese commanders as a base figure, given his pose, and his excellent cloak to make a base for the brat:

And from there, I gave him a head-swap for one of the Gallowglass figures to try and match the interesting helmet shown in the woodcuts, and added a plume to it. Then, with some filing down of the body and legs, I sculpted on a Tudor doublet and boots, and then added a fringe to the cloak to convert it into an Irish Brat

In terms of colours, I went with a copy of the Brat in Dürer's depiction of Gallowglass in the early 16th century, with the cloak itself being a deep red/maroon/pink, and the fringe being a bright yellow

The standard bearer was a bit of a simpler conversion, seeing as my design philosophy for him was more straightforward. I wanted him to essentially look like a mounted Gallowglass, so the rider was based on a Victrix Norman, with his head swapped for one of the Perry Gallowglass, and a The Assault Group targe added in place of the Norman shield.

The horse was a little more involved, seeing as the Irish cavalry of the 16th century notably did not use stirrups or saddles, instead opting for what appears to be more of a cushion strapped to the horse. Given that information, I trimmed the saddle off of the horse, and used green stuff to sculpt on the quilted cushion (which helped mask the width difference between the Victrix legs and the Perry horse too!)

And finally to round off the whole base, I added an Irish wolfhound from Footsore Miniatures

Currently I only have flags for Kildare and Desmond put together, but the standard bearer's flags are detachable, so they can be easily swapped out for any other Gaelic or Anglo-Irish lords (once I get the flags made!)

And here's the Earl of Kildare riding alongside a band of kern

Preach it.

And Wargames Atlantic routinely have kits in the 24-32 model range for 35 dollars. You want an Imperial Guard army (or better yet for any other 28mm game), or even skeletons, goblins, spiders, halflings, AND WW2 historicals, you should look there first.

They should invent a 40k that is not priced by madmen this shit drives me insane

Make things cheaper, these prices are utterly detached from your audience’s material conditions!!!
