A mate printed this for me to use as a camp/fortress in our DBA Fantasy LOTR games. Durins Door. Couldn’t wait to get paint on it. I’m going to try and get a light inside it as well.

Been rebasing my LOTR Army of the Dead for DBA Fantasy rules. They will now be fast hordes in the game.

I’m sure some of you will remember this guy? This was a tough build but I got there in the end. Polish Lancer from Waterloo. Very early Airfix kit. I’m now going to have a bex and a lie down 😀👍

Don’t have any GW figures to use as Haradrim for our LOTR game so just used my DBA Saracens with a Mage on a flying carpet.

The LOTR game has begun. Having a ball.

LOTR Uruk-Hai ready for the game tomorrow.

Old Wargamer Steve @oldwargamer.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Do you remember Tom Bombadil? And Goldberry? From the LOTR books. He will be making an appearance in tomorrow’s DBA Lord of the Rings game. The DBA fantasy rules allow you to field “Gods.” So Tom will be a God. If you’ve read have read the books you will know why.

This guy is a Paladin for the Knights of Dol Amroth. He will be breaking Orc heads tomorrow.

Old Wargamer Steve @oldwargamer.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

Last night was our first game of Lord of the Rings using DBA fantasy rules. Uruk-Hai vs Elves and the Knights of Dol Amroth coalition. The rules worked really well for LOTR with a myriad of differently themed armies possible.

12 player game of DBA Big Battles at the club last night. Romans vs Gauls. 28mm miniatures. That’s me left hand side far end. Victory to the Gauls.

Old Wargamer Steve @oldwargamer.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

Still experimenting on larger scale figures. These are 54mm 1:32 soft plastic French Voltigeurs by @hatminis.bsky.social. I did struggle with removing mould lines/flash & found the soft plastic difficult to work with. Also backpacks don’t fit overly well. Still, in the end they have come up okay.

Battle of Atlanta 1864 Confederates on the base with 4 backdrops to choose from. If you like let me know which one you would go with? All backdrops are of scenes from the battle.

Old Wargamer Steve @oldwargamer.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

Finally completed my ACW Confederates from the battle of Atlanta 1864. This a metal 54mm figure from Andrea Miniatures. Will do another post on how I am thinking of displaying him.

Old Wargamer Steve @oldwargamer.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

As my eyesight grows dim I am really enjoying painting these 54mm figures. These 3 are Saxon Warriors.

Old Wargamer Steve @oldwargamer.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Wow, getting these 4 Pegasus Knights in one photograph is not easy. 3 x Bretonnians and 1 x conversion to a Knight of Dol Amroth champion for LOTR.

Finally completed the last Pegasus Knight.

Old Wargamer Steve @oldwargamer.bsky.social · 25/05/2025

This is still a WIP but I’ve started to contemplate the base. Never used one of these high back bases before from Greenstuff World before. What would you paint as the backdrop for this pair of Confederates?

3251

Old Wargamer Steve @oldwargamer.bsky.social · 16/05/2025

Oaky, now for something completely different. These are hard plastic 54mm Victrix British Peninsular War Flank company troops. Never painted this scale in hard plastic before. Was certainly a challenge. Let me know what you think.

Another Prussian Napoleonic unit completed. These are 28mm Front Rank Miniatures

Latest commission piece finished. These are 60mm or 1/30th scale Old Guard figures by King and Country Toy Soldiers. Arranged in a scene depicting the last stand of the Guard at Waterloo.

Another very old Dixon Miniatures ACW Union unit painted in the early 90s. Rushes Lances.

Old Wargamer Steve @oldwargamer.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

It’s wonderful to be able to still play with troops I painted back in the early 90s. These Dixon Miniatures painted as the Louisiana Tigers have seen many games and in my mind still look a treat with their wobbly stripes and eyes painted in. Freehand flag as well.
