Golgotha's Terrain - Papierschnitzel wagon

Herewith a wagon by Papierschnitzel, see: https://papierschnitzel.gumroad.com/ - you can download it for free.

and horse is by Conquest Games see: http://www.conquest-games.co.uk/index.php?cPath=28_29

Still need to harness the horse to said wagon. Also made a wagon without a horse.

Golgotha's terrain - Druidic Rock

Herewith a druidic rock I made for my wife - but I must admit it fits in nicely with my Celts.

Golgotha's Ancients - Roman Ballista

Herewith a Ballista for my Romans. Had the Ballista lying around and found the two miniatures in a bargain bucket 50p a miniature sale at Colours. Not sure who made any of it but the ballista itself is a nice miniature - sure cheaper than the Warlord equivalent.

See:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballista

Golgotha's Fantasy - Grenadier Fantasy Evil Knights

Herewith some of my favourite miniatures of all time. Could not resist picking up another set recently at the Colours Wargame show. The axemen is not part of the set but I think he looks the part despite having no fur like the others...

Golgotha's Ancients and Fantasy - Celtos Miniature Druid

Herewith Celtos Druid converted with staff. I wanted a druid for my Celts and wanted something rather epic. I did not like the double-bladed weapon he came with so gave him a staff instead. At any rate, he should be good for both Ancients or Fantasy. He is pictured here with a rock I also recently made, though it too is more fantasy than reality.

See Brigade Miniatures here: https://www.brigademodels.co.uk/Celtos/index.html

This was the Brigade Games stand at Colours showing off their Celtos Miniatures.

Golgotha's Lord of the Rings - Some Grenadier Fantasy half orcs for Orctober

Herewith some orcs for Orctober. Grenadier Fantasy Half-Orcs painted as Lord of the Rings White Hand of Saruman Uruk sorts.

Do love the standard bearer miniature and will be adding the drummer too.

These two miniatures were the same so only cut one of the spikes on the shield off and changed the arm and weapon position.

I had not realised that I also had two leaders though there is a difference in their secondary weapon, daggers on the belt - will be using the other leader for a unit therefore of bowmen.

Finally some inspiration...

Wycombe Warband - Wings of Glory WWI Games

Got to play my first Wings of Glory game at the local club. The first game was beginners luck as I was the last surviving aircraft, though I only got to damage other aircraft not shoot them down and then in the second game my objective was to photograph some ships but I landed up flying off the table so into the water with a splash LOL.

See: https://www.wycombewarband.org/ The club also has a Facebook page.

It is a fun game when playing with others though one should not take it too seriously given the overall lack of realism.

Little Wars TV did a nice scenario for Wings of Glory see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mjTCb2CArk&ab_channel=LittleWarsTV

One can download the scenario on their website, sign up for free for their free stuff, see: https://www.littlewarstv.com/

This chap prints 3d wargame models and they were at Colours 2022 he has a nice range of very well prices 1/144 scale WWI models. See: https://www.syborg3dprinting.co.uk/
