Unboxing… Warlord Games



Yesterday I got this little letter saying I got an box to get at the ”postal office”. I put the daughter in the stroller and of we goo.

The plan was to fill up on the old lead and plastic pile, it could be a long and hard winter. Better bunker up.
The big box and is content is divided into three main projects.





For my Napoleonics I got:
A box of French Line Infantry. I wanted to test out the new Warlord box and ad even more variety to my Frenchies.
Vivandiere - The Soldier's Comfort. Could be a fun model to paint, a little different.

For my Vikings I got:
Harald Steptoesson, special edition Viking. How could I not want to add this model to my Viking collection.
A plastic frame of Warlords Celtic Warriors, to make berserker conversions mixing with Gripping beast plastic Vikings.

For my Tribal Africa project, the largest lot in the box.
For a new tribe I got the Kushites from Warlords, allies to the Persians or could be used on their own. Im not that picky about what year my Tribal African project is so I will mix heavily on miniatures I like. Besides its all spears and shield in the end, so theoretically my inhabitants in this project could have meet a tribe looking like this.
For the Kushites I got:
Kushite King and Chieftains, Kushite Command, Kushite Spearmen regiment, Kushite Archers and if my numbers are correct that should give me enough for 2 small spearmen units and a small archers units and lots of fun characters to use in Hail Caesar.
I got an box of Married Zulu Regiment, wanting to expand on my Zulus as the Unmarried box I got at home was so good.
I got and box of Perrys plastic Mahdist Ansar, it’s a nice box for this project and I wanted to try to add my numbers of tribals but also wanted to try to convert some trackers or skirmishers.

And a box wirespears and some more round bases.

This should at least have me occupied for this weekend… Well for a long time I hope. So now I think you know my plan for some time to come. We will see how well I can keep it.
