Yarkshire Gamers Monthly Wargames Update - April 2024

[@ShaunTame-re5us]

Good vid again thank you. Love the arrangement of the pike block. I did enjoy seeing the Jutland game at Salute, beautiful ships. I would like to say that the Pikeman in the Bradford shirt is actually in a Sforza united shirt.....but I would be wrong if I did....

[@YarkshireGamer]

I wish Bradford City had the Sfoza money !

Great video and updates Ken. Looking forward to seeing those Prussia’s painted

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers Andy

[@rodschwager3711]

Thanks for the update Ken. I really like the way you vary the pike angles on your units. As you say it really does give the visual impact of pike unit closing on the enemy. Well done! I look forward to more Napoleonic figures when you can. All the best to you.

Cheers Rod, hope to get started on some Yound Guard this month 👍

Maurizio Arfaioli might be a good podcast guest since he wrote the book on the Black Bands

[@YarkshireGamer]

It's certainly an option providing he is happy to speak in English, my Italian is none existent !

Great update, Ken! You still finished more figures than I did in April 😝. Looking forward to seeing your game at Partizan 👍.

[@YarkshireGamer]

See you there mate 👍

[@philRminiatures]

I love your pikes...and th huge naval table!👍👍

[@YarkshireGamer]

Thanks very much Phil 👍

Great update and that Pike Block looks smashing and really does give the impression of movement 👍 - Just finished listening to the Podcast with the Rapid fire chaps and thoroughly enjoyed it - Hopefully will be able to catch up with you at Partizan 😃

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers Rich, hopefully see you there 👍

[@andydrb9673]

That pike unit looks superb, love the way you based them for that sense of motion, works brilliantly. You dirty devil you used the f word 😂 Couldn't agree more re.the 3D stuff, sick of seeing the same thing again and again. Salute was great as was the panel you were on, very enjoyable.

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers mate, it was a great date at Salute, constantly busy all day 👍

[@andrewdickinson2245]

And Partizan is the 19th, not the 13th....

[@YarkshireGamer]

Open All Hours A tv comedy show set in a corner shop

[@YarkshireGamer]

I did realise I'd said that 😂

[@goforitpainting]

Cool

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers 😁

[@andrewdickinson2245]

I've been on that ship :)

[@YarkshireGamer]

You might break this version if you stood on it !

[@peterschief9778]

Very lovely figures. What paints do you use on the actual pikes themselves. I’ve got a lot to paint and would like them to look like yours mate please.

[@YarkshireGamer]

Black Primer, Vallejo Flat Earth as a base, dry brushed 50 50 Flat Earth, Tan Yellow mix in vertical strokes (to imitate wood grain) the washed with Army Painter strong tone. Tip is GW Ledbeltcher with the edges done in pure silver

[@peterschief9778]

Thanx I’ll try that.

[@matthewwheelden9263]

Where did you get the pikes from please?

[@YarkshireGamer]

A few places do them, I normally get mine from North Star 👍

[@matthewwheelden9263]

@@YarkshireGamer Thank you

[@martinradcliffe4798]

No Leeds shirts?

[@YarkshireGamer]

I used them cleaning my brushes 😉
