Assembling figures and Hotlead prep

I spent some time after work last week assembling the rest of my Baron’s War miniatures and three Oathmark Trolls and an Ogre when my 50mmx50mm bases arrived.

Here’s an overview.



On the left are my Crusaders on foot. 



The front rank are command figures. The next two are various knights on horseback. The back rank are men-at-arms on horseback.



Lastly there are crossbow men and archers, some peasants, spearmen and men-at-arms on foot. As you can see, I’ve painted the spearmen already.



My painting mojo for these kind of fizzled out after I found out that the Army Painter Speed paints reactivate when wet and I spent some time trying to nullify this (a wash, so I’m told).

Also I only primed the spearmen and it’s been too cold.

I also spent some time yesterday and today sorting through all my stuff to see what I could sell at Hotlead’s Bring and Buy. I think I have 20-25 lots of stuff. Hopefully it all goes.

Baron’s War Outremer Kickstarter

Back in May 2022, I backed Footsore Miniatures Baron’s War 4 Kickstarter titled Outremer which takes the game to the Crusades setting.

To be honest, gaming the Crusades isn’t something I’m overly interested in. However, I was interested in getting more figures for my Baron’s War forces.

Growing up watching Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and more recently Robin Hood, I like the idea of English noblemen returning to England during/after the Crusades and finding King John mucking things up.

Today, my pledge arrived.



Now this was paid for in 2022 so it doesn’t affect my 2023 Hobby budget.

I received 12 Cavalry and 20 Infantry figures. I have between 30-40 other Baron’s War figures so this give me 2 larger forces. I think 2 freebie figures are missing so I will have to follow up.

I should also probably track all new figures received vs figures painted to see how the Lead Mountain changes in size.

New figures for 2023:
12 Cavalry
20 Infantry
