There are still a few teething problems mainly down to my almost total lack of experience (!!) but the site has gone live and here's the URL:<br /><br /><a href="http://darrellhindley.co.uk/">http://darrellhindley.co.uk/</a><br /><br />Hope that you enjoy viewing it's pages. The good news is that my Blog will be kept going and can be viewed through the website too. My blog will be much more of a day by day thing and will contain details of what my brushes are up :o)<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Darrell.WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-81556649020596686262008-04-15T13:39:00.000-07:002008-04-15T13:45:55.150-07:00Announcing.......Hi,<br /><br />OK, here's the deal.......<br /><br />My blog is now moving over to my new rather spiffing website courtesy of Andy of <a href="http://wabforum.co.uk/">WABForum</a> and <a href="http://tradestands.co.uk/">Tradestands</a> fame.<br /><br />My new site is currently under developement as I have decided to re-take many of my pics and to be honest this task is not being helped by the weather here in Edinburgh! However I will persevere. For the moment, the gallery will have samples of many of the pics that I have taken of my armies over the past year or so and these will gradually be replaced by newer pics as I find the time and weather conditions to suit :o)<br /><br />Darrell.WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-70596392275660855772008-04-02T08:55:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:25:12.058-08:00More Longbow ChapsWell, since my last entry, I missed Havok! as my other half was ill and we had to cancel our little sojourn around the midlands. I really enjoyed Cold Steel so I was a bit miffed but it couldn't be helped and as they say, there's always a next time. However, not to be put off, I'm certainly not putting this army on hold as thus far it's been a bit of a labour of love .<br /><br />Okey-dokey, here's the next Longbow unit. Another one to come and then it's on to the knights/men-at-arms, which, provided the composition goes well should include a rather spiffing unit with none other than Henry V himself in a pre-battle pep-talk :o)<br /><br />As you can see below, they're not doing too well.......<br /><br />Darrell.<br /><br /><br /><div><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184679961684460002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD6X8NKxaYFYlBVzJQNUTiN1tjpttPWSIX4kCllNmy3Gr9YBoSUs8JSXy9OkXKUfi40_-fSjnmmf-BTma6JA_kTOhRt2AXTZ1Mvp-tbpdath1kkHORGtzCjTTGv19BmmslwHALUA/s400/Longbow+unit+3.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184679798475702738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSxVfYX0NxTR-QpPrjMarT-gIk0SOSSdsFjbe_Z-bfLdhrWSz9O68QErDCE7QSLYPOBPr3wkZkNTk2iTZ_p67NHQfMJ-eid5nklmN3Z9yw3JLqEC1WD853W14_4-lD_1M7w90aAg/s400/IMG_1323.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184679630971978178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBSGFQZ4z8Blktwnb-O3A4oqszD59oITy4Z8iWLBQbuzN_oAuVmM01-v0ya7K6ud83upbgzc4QcoAIbxdTpPAQHAsN4gO2sZx5OXUoPRPmtxSijaJc3xXDdQL0huHgYUpVLxtAXQ/s400/IMG_1324.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184679441993417138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3FR6Wz0QVp4KCQOLKtuIF6cl1NGLoxcmPJqmxUAZuy20rbWgPHy3lDtdh9qJZJvMHzwWOLTxjMW6VmfL0MSha5w_b5CulT_TjWFcYsP_3zCkdJfXLTQazWL36UKFmbhWJKSnT4Q/s400/IMG_1325.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184679313144398242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdqbwpxZ0M0s_VUl7naW4sdN2qfcSlYFggk23l9ZM3SgWr9w8XDfOHCQuTO404wv6rfftlU-9cGnJjF5qUy0DNbTIP5BEv9qx6jNyxxndLSX4zfAKFt71_9ZGoC_gNxsn7n3nPJw/s400/IMG_1326.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184679201475248530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrj1aAIHk834ZoxmltMMEDUB1YgNcGzOgd435n_EOzAANTxzD1_e6N3DB95ZCUwfXDYk0XFLEipvp6UM-V8WOPeHcCvQn92PzHb-0WbLa1I5KlnnXkRNz36WDwKoiMehqx-XrOCw/s400/IMG_1327.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184679072626229634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYYUgDulgwXNdAULsl_5SIXa8siE5ke7aEgnE6oJ7hb1Cptdmf1hx2qQEkF4NFEfhoeX9ISR33U3mChMgwRgnjs-UAawzALc9jQGMWk9IEKk0mRG4pKZ_-elQ_Mu-_4dlPQVqhaQ/s400/IMG_1328.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-85721582191611689262008-03-21T06:39:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:25:12.446-08:00A bit of an interlude at this juncture is called for methinks. These, kindly taken by David Imrie last eveing, are of a game that I was playing with my Italo-Normans against Jules of <a href="http://www.figuresincomfort.net/">Figures in Comfort</a> with his Almoravids. Alas the game went a awry for the over cautious Normans and their oft previously seen beligerence was replaced by the spread of cowardice and eventual desertion of the field!<br /><br />Incidentally, David told me that his site was now down and that his work would instead now be appearing in his own gallery section entitled, <a href="http://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/gallery.php?req=gallery&cat=304">David Imrie Wargames Projects</a>, on <a href="http://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/">The League of Augsberg</a> site.<br /><br />Darrell :o)<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180190973535830338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhexKwKKKmarP83qrfKHLV9q5Kh_5kzUoCmQvEOPWV2BSS3qdUqpnZr19uY9LOhMo4pmlL-G4RoyC3POH3OjreIsVTnHIgH8bEjnnzKUdA5AOA0IMeESCeKA4RuXTX731z9a_cRrw/s400/darrellsknights2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180190977830797650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpJUULOFZ3LQC3Zi9gojRvdzUN7NQjEA5jHmx80pfJCi6hnKhfkxh0LnqIY34My_aPrbixlxwsKhoSp_KaUC8VdR-NJr1f7hDvbuYABzBxz_3H3dcoOxkN-dCzoksyxO3Qw7kP4Q/s400/darrellsar1.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180189466002309426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM0bxpI-8JHMUXDYz2ZegYJrmX_BKP3xeFy3Z4H9bht1VDjOabvUawAQTVwBdkbvT2m0CNhMMJlyw08nQDbRpBpkkkVXGwBlKluGdAPLCd-KsG460Yo2ZdQkD_u7mXAL4-3d94ug/s400/darrellsknight1.jpg" border="0" /></div>WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-63974866055801919552008-03-18T12:18:00.001-07:002008-12-08T22:25:13.333-08:00And here's some more......<div> Here's Archer unit number two. What I was trying to capture was the feel of a group of French knights and men-at-arms attempting to break into the Archers and cause as much havok as possible. Initially this included quite a bit of planning as I had to determine which mini's go where and also aim to keep the 'pictoral' composition together.

A Medieval WAB event to be run at the End of March by Martin Gibbins at GBHQ in Evesham. Looks to be a fantastic event if it was anything like the last one I attended run by Martin, which was in fact Cold Steel.<br /><br />You may have a funny feeling that you have heard something like this before, but it is just the excuse I need to pull all those Perry Agincourt to Orleans mini's out of their box and apply some slap. And of course, a good enough excuse to buy a 'few' more.<br /><br />So, I look forward to gracing the pages of this blog with my army as it grows and also including a full report of Havok!<br /><br />Darrell.<br /><div></div>WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-13432552824932714232007-12-05T14:46:00.000-08:002007-12-05T14:48:18.678-08:00This should shake things up a little........ for the goodFor those who are not in the know already, and I expect the word to have travelled throughout the wargaming circles like wild fire, check this out........ it concerns the Perry's and their next project:<br /><br /><a href="http://theminiaturespage.com/news/146941/">http://theminiaturespage.com/news/146941/</a><br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Darrell.WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-89942509819802811452007-11-19T14:47:00.000-08:002008-12-08T22:25:20.172-08:00As promised........ Italo-Norman Army PicsHi,<br /><br />Well, it's been a few weeks so I thought that I ought to pull out the old camera and take a few snaps of at least one of the armies that I promised before the WHW Weekend. So, for now it's the turn of my Italo-Normans. There are still a few bits and bobs that I want to include in the army such as more variation in the Coloni, the addition of a few more Italian/Spanish looking Milites and commands, a unit of Elite Militia and a couple of big units of Levied Militia. There are even a few camp (not that sort of camp!) vignettes that are planned that are actually sitting on my painting table right now. But then again so are my British Kingdoms, my HYW English and my Hamdanid Arabs!!! Hmmm..... I guess it's a case of what grabs my attention first.........<br /><br />Pics of a few of the British Kingdoms units to follow soon........<br /><br /><br /><strong>Army General</strong><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134696241882591026" style="DISPLAY: block;

It was Age of Arthur all the way for me. special thanks to Jim Sweeney for lending me an army [as mine wasn't finished- yep I know, the shame ;o)] , also to James morris and Steve Jones for running a seemless campaign that was packed with laughs and last but not least all my oponents (Dave, Jack, Ivre, James, and all the skirmishers!) who playey within the true spirit of the game and provided a lot of entertainment.<br /><br />I'm not going to prattle on so I'm here's a few pics that I have selected for your perusal:<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127468760212075554" style="DISPLAY: block;

Sad but true. I just couldn't bring myself round to hurrying them as it wouldn't have done the models justice and I really want to have this army looking prim and proper.<br /><br />Watch out on a website near you for the net result of the wager I had with Soapy. Boy, I can feel the humiliation building now ;o) Sad but true.........<br /><br />For those not in the know I'm off to Notts this weekend for some fun and frollics of the WAB variety. Should be a great weekend, they always are. It's like X-mas coming twice a year for me! Sad but true........<br /><br />Pics of Italo-Normans and the latest British kingdoms stuff to folllow on from when I get back to sunny Edinburgh.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Darrell.WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-64907961353994361482007-10-17T09:14:00.000-07:002007-10-17T09:19:48.311-07:00Wot no pics......Just a quick update......<br /><br />The pics of the army will be posted post 29th of this month due to the major painting panic happenning right now!

Basically I'm under duress trying to keep the 10 mini's a day routine going. I'm already behind, though I did leave a little extra time at the end of the 'period' for this very reason. Wish me luck or Soapy's going to break my heart, or something.<br /><br />Darrell.WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-40348064911826071402007-10-04T13:08:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:25:21.811-08:00Here's Some I Banged Out TodayHere's a few mini's that I banged out today. Apologies for the photo quality but I couldn't find my tripod so I had to pile up a few old boxes! Basically everything has three highlights except the tunics (which commanded four) and the slings which have a base colour and a wash (with bonus stone added in two highlights). These little critters will be varnished with a coat of GW Gloss and then given the customary coat pf Testors Dullcote.<br /><br />Watch this space for 10 more tomorrow......... that one is for the doubters ;o)<br /><br />Darrell.<br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5117578204205022226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikUDRKZNRCLGVbR2NKD2_anmIN70SJWZ_TrWhdeuSyG2Iw_qzsOHJzjQ1WX0Gnq1D-IpXp-eeUfHFaiQhrYvgVwwGxO-lrlEVUtXAFocwTrMEnBAotaBtyYqYvzfbBkaXnh09T6Q/s320/JUST+ADD+WATER+BRITISH+KINGDOMS.jpg" border="0" /></div>WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-20747627246506571632007-09-27T00:50:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:25:21.900-08:00Still Not Fopping Out :o)Hi,<br /><br />I haven't managed to get the pics of Pegenses up on the blog as of yet as they are not painted!! However, all is not as bad as it seems as I've decided to clean up, prime and glue all the spears etc. on the whole army before I slap the old paint on. That way it should speed things up as it gets all the drab jobs out of the way and allows me to wallow in the ecstacy of painting for four weeks. BTW, I never usually glue the shields on to the models until after I have finished the paint jobs, this usually allows for a bit more freedom with the brush but does often need some pinning to hold the darn things in place. Just thought it was worth a mention.<br /><br />Todays agenda? Two units of 28 Tuelu to clean up and then get the first unit of Pagenses on the site.<br /><br />Ta-ta<br /><br />Darrell.<br /><br />BTW, In case you were wondering what the hell that image is; it's the molecular structure of my least favourite glue........ superglue...... I'm an epoxy man myself :o)<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114790896733237298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4AJGOWvWkjZWHKs_2pTCzoX7KqjZANuSAlV7kvy52xrPjBxpvh9MiMqUAVl_LT1UovvdMCs2FiClePk92A0fIiSNZX98odn1YGQWIDweR1z7oWqKc5SUhO9NsNBNQfwlFE9nGw/s320/Cyanoacrylate.jpg" border="0" />WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-15928174213699428162007-09-22T04:26:00.000-07:002007-09-22T04:28:49.921-07:00Not a total fopp after all.....Forgot to mention in my last post that I did also actually manage to glue shields and spears to 30 more models and apply undercoat yesterday. Strange post? You bet! But I had to write this to reclaim some of my sanity.<br /><br />Saturday....... shopping for a nice Dremmel today :o)))))<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Darrell.WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-60946705105472792032007-09-22T04:20:00.000-07:002008-12-08T22:25:22.079-08:00Arrrgh!! My Head!!Let me explain. A while back I bought a unit of West wind Arthurian Cavalry. I got them home, took one look at the size of the hosses, laughed out loud and thought nay (sorry!) these do not match up to my idea of the sort of nags my fellas would be a riding. I put the pack to one side and forgot about them.<br /><br />Yesterday I decided to have a rummage and founf the said pack of WW cavalry and cunningly realising that they came with loose heads (riders not the hosses) I decided to proceed with a few head swaps.......<br /><br /><strong>I need a Dremmel!!!</strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>In other words I spent about six hours buggering around with a crap mini saw and pin vice trying to attatch six heads onto six bodies. OK, there are a few missing and green stuff to add but you get the picture.<br />Here's a quick pic of six hours work :o( None to fresh.......<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5112987074893426722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjil8pah2GIqWnRDvBIUHGTpjRR6JGqlbbe_Ve86wmEJeXEDK8ffXsSJl-YbF3XTLFMvxVIt3KOV0UI14o7wtZU0fJV_IJhHn7esSwWYVZzCoC8fRqWow050XP6tjMTybgRXk1JmA/s320/IMG_1124.jpg" border="0" />WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-57228876186435780262007-09-20T08:01:00.001-07:002008-12-08T22:25:22.517-08:00Whilst I'm at it........Here's a nice little mini I found lying around in Alnwick castle.

I would have had more than these few little test pics of the start (Yep start!!) of my Welshies but I had a little acident over the weekend that invloved an invisible step and my spine that rendered me unable to sit up straight and paint for a few days :o( Bloody hurt too!! Still does.......<br /><br />Here's the pics, expect a lot more, probably quite quickly as i've only got five weeks to paint up an army of 112 mini's.......

It's not that I don't approve of juvenile inuendo, in fact like most of you, I thrive on it. Just wanted to appear the mature adult that I most definately am not.<br /><br />Anyway, I've been looking forward to this gig for a long time. After much humming and harring/changing of mind/torment over what army to take (see past two entries) I've decided on Age of El Cid Christian Spanish. They're not the steam-rolling Normans that have often graced the clubs (<a href="http://www.seswc.org/">SESWC</a>) tables, but a much more friendlier army that may or may not win a game or two without damaging the smile that sits fittingly upon my opponents face. Of course, those of you that have seen me play in various campaign days will know that this all may just be an excuse for hitting the bottom of the table come Sunday evening :o))))) Come what may, I'm sure I'll have a great time.<br /><br />One last thing, I've been following with a keen eye <a href="http://www.davidimrie.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/">Mr Imrie's Blog</a> and the rrogress he is making with his Thematic Byzantines. Well worth a check out. Also, for those that haven't seen my good friend and fellow painting crazy <a href="http://www.bpfp.co.uk/Page.asp?Title=Painting+My+Sassanid+Persian+Army&Section=82&Page=1">Brian's Sassanids</a>, then check out the following pages from his website or we'll send the boys around. We will too you know :o)<br /><br />Darrell.<br /><br />Pics of El Cid army post event. And that's a promise as I'm re-basing as I speak :o)WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38896510.post-44087783452701913122007-07-11T03:32:00.000-07:002007-07-11T03:48:12.654-07:00Wassup? Or... Hi folks I've been poorly (aahh...)Alrighty, I'm just about over the worst bout of flu I've had since I was a little kiddie. My theory? I have to say there were moments when I thought that feeding the swans at Arthurs Seat may have been a big mistake :o)<br /><br />I'm more of less on the mend so I figured it's time to add some words to the blog before someone started writing up an obituary for me.<br /><br />At the mo' I'm trying to belt my way through (re: speedpaint) two units of Grippers Late Romans that will masquerading as Justinian or Heraclian Byzantines (army list troubles.... if you know what I mean?). I've also got the banners to do for my Cavalry units which, thanks to Fuljason on the WAB forum for pointing me away from the norm, will be some nice early Byzantine mosaic inconography. Should look great assuming I can scale it all down. I'm used to painting on <strong>large</strong> canvases so this should be fun :o)<br /><br />Other stuff? Well, I started a WAB campaign at our club <a href="http://www.seswc.org/">SESWC</a> which is running nicely given the fact that I wasn't there for week two and had to employ my mate Jeeves to take the reigns. Jeeves is a dependable chap who gives me a lift to the club yeah? Te- he?? Week three of the campaign starts with me a little behind (I think I'm the only one that hasn't won a game as of yet) but hey, lots of time to kick ass as of yet.<br /><br />Das ist alles.<br /><br />Darrell.WABithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18173629664260521128noreply@blogger.com2
