Brettonnians Magnets and a side step

Hopefully these pictures are self explanatory. But if not the Brettonians have been magnetised to their movement tray. 3x1mm neodymium magnets from eBay glued to the movement tray and 2 bits of a paperclip glued discretely inside each mini's base. That's all there is to it, and no more collapsing units while manoeuvring. Cool for me at least.

Photos now back in place. The loss was due to a reorganisation of the Picassa Web album they belonged to.

Shield Wall

A while ago some Brettonian Men-at-arms were acquired, and languished primed in white. The plan was to create a regiment of 28 minis as a core for a peasants revolt Brettonian Army. The problem was painting that many minis. A simple scheme for painting was needed. After a while a scheme evolved and her is the start of the shield wall :

Movement Trays Need to be Used

Movement trays do need to be filled. The Bretonnians caught my eye while browsing the latest Warhammer rule book. So here they are :

Two boxes of them have been combined to give a mega squad of 28. Each box has 16 minis but 3 in each box are suitable only as part of a command squad. No shields yet except for the standard bearer. His is held in place by blu tack. Shields make painting difficult so won't feature until I have the squad finished.
 Out front are the 2 dog mascots. Next step is green stuff to fill some gaps, then sand and PVA glue for bases. After that its onto base coat spray and then painting in worn browns and grays. That's the plan anyway.

Here is one of the spares :-

Next time back to the steel legion or the Sisters new rhino. These are the main projects. I find that a bit of variety helps develop each project to fruition. Does anyone else find this?
