HaT El Cid Almoravid Infantry

Our mate RobH came over on Saturday and he treated us to an excellent game using Impetus ruleset with his collection of Samurai in 15mm.

Apart from putting on a great game, he also brought along some of his painted 1/72 scale HaT Moors that he's based to also use with the same rules, and they are very nice indeed, the pictures of the painted HaT figures speak for themselves.

1/72 Scale / 20mm Plastic LOTR Figures

This was quite a find, these are are the main characters from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and came in an old out-of-production Spanish boardgame that I found in a clearance offer in a big department store some months back.





The bases are way too thick to use as they are, and one day (eventually) when I do get around to painting and basing them I'll have to cut those bases right down.

The running figure with a club is a 1/72 scale Zvezda guy.

Italeri German Motorcycles and Sidecars


I was given this set for Christmas by a friend.

Nicely detailed set, though the figures are a little on the big side like all of the new 1/72 scale figures Italeri is producing.



I changed a few heads to give them all helmets and I'll be using them for the 1940 campaign in France - I know the uniforms are all wrong, but no-one will notice too much (hopefully) and I'll be painting them up in Field-Grey uniforms wth Panzer Grey bikes and sidecars.

The grey plastic vehicle is one I had spare, it's a Hasegawa kit if I'm not mistaken, and so I used it with a couple of spare figures.

The figure with the binoculars has a helmet grafted on from the accessories that come with the Revell German 105mm Gun & Crew.
