WHFB - Bretonnian Army

I built several different armies for WHFB between 89' and 97,' but decided to only retain the 'historical ones when I stopped collected GW miniatures.  I started my Bretonnian army after purchasing the 4th edition boxed set that came with Bretonnian and Lizardmen figures.  I traded the Lizardmen with another player to get the the corps that would make the start of this army.  These are the figures that have been 'rehabilitated' so far.  There are about 100 more to go.










In addition, I have recently expanded this army with some Fireforge Games plastics to give it more of a medieval feel.

28mm Orcs and Goblins

Every year I try to set up a fun Halloween battle for my son and I to play.  I try to add a mixture of fantasy elements along with some of my medieval or dark age figures.  For 2014 I did a scenario pitting his noble knights against a force of Orc and Goblin  raiders.

WFB Empire Collection Infantry and Cavalry

My Empire army started around 1990-91 when it was revamped in preparation for the release of WFB 4th Edition.  This has long been my favorite force because of how closely it matches their historical counterparts in 15th century Germany.  Over the last couple of years, I decided to rehabilitate the collection by completing some of the units including new basing and better standards and flags.  The end result has been to create the Corps of a French and German army for the Italian Wars using the Impetus rule system.
