Recoil! Final results: Persians 1 and 2 - posted by Neil Williamson, 26 May 2019

RECOIL! DBMM 200
The final results are in the picture.
Congratulations go to Vince commanding his Seleucid army who pulled out a win v Gary [Feudal English] on the last round. (I put this down to good seeding by the TM). Graham's [Parthian] light horse shrugged off all attempts by the Hun [Neil] to kill them giving him a well deserved second place. The English then brought up the 3rd and 4th positions.
The prizes were paint brushes from Warcolours (all the way from Cyprus). I recommend you check out the website warcolours.com. Vince Venturella on you tube has product reviews on his channel numbers 15, 24 and 27 for their paints. No, I'm not on commission.
We all had a really good time with the tournament and all agreed that we would run it again next year in a similar format so that Vince can defend his title.
Thank you to everyone for making it an extremely enjoyable tournament

Aaron Jackson Beautiful. well done

One of the members of the Middle Roman Ordinary Bow
                        Two more members of the Ordinary Blade

The troopers of the Auxiliary Superior, with their newly issued helmets. Repainted using Vallejo German Camouflage Brown added into Vallejo Brass.
A couple of members of the Light Horse, not yet finished. Still some highlights left to do yet. The Middle Roman Dog accompanying his masters into the fight is a New Zealand "Huntaway".

The Ordinary men of the Blade
Michael Stonyer Footsore make a great variety of faces, poses and more importantly equipment.

  • Denis Grey Thank you. I use 15mm figures most of the time, but re-visit 25s occasionally and am quite drawn to Footsore's Late Romans. Seeing yours has reinforced my resolve to get some.

David McLachlan Wow very nice job.....


The Ordinary Cavalry, are finally issued with shields

The Knights fast, awaiting the final touches to their bases.

My most recent projects from the Painting table
