Warlord Games Gauls for Hail Caesar 

Cheers, dude. Thanks for the kind words. :)

Thanks, Paul. All the Warhammer bases I painted years ago were excellent practice. haha.

Thank you very much. I painted so many Warhammer shields in my time that these ones were a little nostalgic.

Thanks, Ginz. I think you'll find them fun to paint. You'll see what a mission they are to base too. I think your brother will be by in about a month for his next beat down. It looks like it will be his early war Fallschirmjager taking on the Greeks. I suggested the Italians invading from Albania, but after I hammered him with inexperienced French in the Alps in June 1940, he retired his Black Shirt. lol

Cheers, Nik. I'd love to do an ancients battle rep someday, but I haven't seen my gaming mates in 9 months and we've all gone off on divergent projects. One guy is doing 1/72 WWII North Africa and one is getting a Dragon Rampant army done up. I will try and talk them into doing Republican Romans though. lol

Sometimes getting figures to sit on their bases properly can be a right pain in the ass. Warlord's Gauls are great figures but getting them on a 40mm base was too time consuming. The tree being gone has made everything here a lot more calm. No worrying and no arguing with Wifetronic.

Thank you very much. They took ages to paint as the tartan and shields can cripple painting mojo very quickly.

@@jvcpaints yes agreed tartan one of the most difficult if not the most difficult things a miniature painter can paint.👍

Thanks, Dom. The vanquishing of the tree released the painting mojo spirits once more.

Thanks, Steve. They took me ages, but they turned out really nice.

Thank you very much Phil. I enjoyed your recent Hittites v. Egyptians ancient battle a lot.

Thanks, Vic. They were a blast to paint once the mojo came back and the tartan painting block lifted.

Thanks, Leon. It took me a long time to do the shields and the unit sat half finished for about 6 months. The tartan and shields cause Napoleonic levels of burn out. I'm happy that the tree is gone too. Big relief to my peace of mind.

Cheers, Justin.

Thanks very much. I'm very enthusiastic about the Carthaginians and using some of the shield transfers for a change. I'm hoping I can get the 62 figures done by Christmas...along with another Bolt Action army or 2.

Thankfully the typhoon decided to make a right turn back out into the ocean. Thanks for the compliment.

@@jvcpaints that's awesome about the typhoon. Oddly watched a program about the Hawker Typhoon this weekend lol. Those shields are the dogs dangly bits mate

Thanks. I just watched your Romans go up against some of these guys in Sword Point.

Thank you very much. I've got some transfers for the Carthaginians, so I'll see how they go. Thanks for your support over the tree-time disaster.

Thanks! I hope to do more in the days, months, years ahead. lol

Thanks for the compliment, Lucian. Basing multiple guys to one base was a problem. I doubt these guys marched anywhere too. I liked your weird war mini. I'm hoping to get one in by Halloween too.

I hope your sheds weren't too worse for wear. There is still a days worth of work to clean up the tree debris, but it's just dumping rain now. The threat to my nerdtorium is gone though. Thanks for the compliments.

@@jvcpaints The tree crushed my sheds and everything in them, sadly it was the neighbors trees. I can understand wanting the threat of damage removed.

Cheers, Gav. You always have so many projects on the go you should see if you could sneak them in there sometime.

I have a terrible sense of fashion. lol. I buy a lot of my clothes at the hardware store like the old fart that I am. haha. I randomized their clothes by using three base colors on the 4 models I was doing at the time and then switching it up with the next bunch of models. You find out which tartans/stripes work and which don't pretty quick.

Yes, sneaky Carthaginians are all the rage here in the nerd cave. Doing the Javelin chaps first, then the Libyan spearmen. I'm hoping to get the whole 62 of them done by Christmas.

Thanks. The rain has stopped any more further chopping, but it's no longer a problem. The countless orc shields I painted as a young whippersnapper helped a lot with the Gauls.

Thank you! I had to use all my Warhammer Fantasy shield skills doing the checkers and all that. There is a reason the last mob took me about a year to get done. lol

Thanks for the kind words. I will check out that Podcast! Thank you for the recommendation. Everyone needs British Paras so they can watch a Bridge Too Far and call out all the historical mistakes. haha

Cheers, dude. I saw you use your Gauls against Ranger in Sword Point. I'll have to watch it again as I was lost as to what the tokens were all about.

@@jvcpaints momentum tokens can add plus one combat resolution kind of like old school Warhammer fantasy so if I take 3 tokens I can get plus 3 to my combat res

Thanks for the compliment! I generally avoid social media being a Luddite and all, but I've got to get on making an instagram page. When I do, I'll definitely be posting it so every one can check out some photos.
