Arrived today, a large batch of the new Army Painter Fanatic Warpaints… exciting times 🥳😝 P Paul, are these the new Speedpaints or the newer more solid pigment paints? Cheers, These are the new Fanatic range - base and highlights should be interesting with their new triad system and I’m looking forward to seeing how their reds and yellows perform. Lot of good previews on YouTube 👍 P

There are some quite powerful dismounting armies still allowed then? Also is there a file anywhere that lists all the Steppe armies? (Seems like something Stevie would have done?) Yep…. And no idea, but you’re right that somewhere there’s bound to be a list… P

Hi Paul, apart from the Wimp Wars rule, is dismounting "rules as written"? Paul H A knight to Remember also doesn’t allow dismounting. All others are RAW. Cheers P

Very mindful we are not creating a coffee table book. Diagrams have full art but illustrate game points. Occasional picture to fill out page space. I don't like flipping through rulebooks padded with pictures trying to find a rule. TomT Just qurious: do you use photos of figures, or illustrations? And if the latter, who is the artist? It will be photos for ‘effect’ and illustrations for rule diagrams - just a combination of PowerPoint and web graphics P

The casting is not as clean as I would have expected, with some occasional ‘flash’ needing removing, and more brittle than anticipated- lost a spear from the second unit on the deck. They’re painting up nicely though 👍 P These are 3d printed and not ultra cast? I just painted up some 3d printed figures, though from an independent vendor on etsy. I guess the resin chosen makes a difference, the figures I got are very slightly flexible and the long, thin sarissas are slightly bendy which is great. I did find the support contact points to clean up were different to clean than traditionally-cast metal figures. No idea… looking in the Plastic Soldier Company’s website, it’s tricky to find out exactly what their process is and the resin used for the Cromarty Forge ranges. I’m presuming they’re 3D prints. There’s virtually no flex in the figures… P

First time I’ve painted plastic 15mm and it’s an ‘interesting’ experience 😉 P What’s the main difference, Paul?

And the full II/75 Kaya Korean army can now be seen here: www.facebook.com/groups/382414395294162/permalink/2270049636530619/Moving onto a batch of 3D resin prints from Cromarty Forge. This is an army that was won by Tom Whitehead at the Cold Ash Clash late last year and, with a few extras, we can each have a Late Imperial Roman army, with all the options. First time I’ve printed plastic 15mm and it’s an ‘interesting’ experience 😉 P
