Desert Infantry with Spears and Bows for "Wars of Ozz"

     Over the weekend I finished up a unit of Desert Infantry with Spears and Bows; my first unit for a brigade of Temujican Eastern Nomads for my "Wars of Ozz" game at Historicon.

     The mounted officer came with a bicorne hat, which I felt didn’t quite suit the desert infantry vibe, so I trimmed it down to look more like just a domed metal helmet. I also didn’t paint the cuffs or any facings on the coat to try and make it look more plain.

"Wars of Ozz" Playtest for Historicon: Battle of the Pyramid

     At Friday night's club meeting I ran an initial trial playtest of my desert-themed “Wars of Ozz” game for Historicon: Wars of Ozz- Battle of the Pyramid. Still some tweaking to do, and some more troops and scenery to prepare, but it was a hard fought battle with victory coming down to the last turn.  "Wars of Ozz" is a fantasy Horse & Musket game with rules and figures produced by Old Glory.

Whim-Whim Chariots for "Wars of Ozz"

     Yesterday I was able to finish the "Wars of Ozz"  Whim-Whim Chariots.  It took a bit of work to assemble everything, but the results are well worth it! I now have enough Whim-Whim painted to field a 23 point brigade, and hope to use them tonight in a preliminary Historicon playtest at our club meeting.

Whim-Whim Cavalry for "Wars of Ozz"

      This week I finished up a unit Whim-Whim Cavalry for "Wars of Ozz".  I really like the look of these guys, especially their unusual mounts.  I used mostly Speed and Contrast Paints.
