Adrian von Bubenberg
Adrian von Bubenberg was a Bernese knight, general and politician. He is chiefly famous from the battle of Murten, where his valiant defence of the town bought time for the Swiss army to assemble. This then went on to crush the Burgundians. Von Bubenberg sallied forth to join the ensuing massacre.
The models were beautifully painted by chum Andrés Amián Fernández, and are respectively Perry, Wargames Foundry and Grenadier miniatures. The flag is from Iain at Flags of War. Von Bubenberg probably didn't have a beard, but I love that model! You can't see it clearly in the photo, but he has blingy gold-plated armour.
He'll be one of the commanders for my Swiss army, which has been in storage for around a year but which I hope to get back onto, shortly, when I return from my holiday in 1672.
Today I'm working on the latest version of the TtS! Ancient Army List eBook, which I will publish on or about 31/1/22 (I'll send everyone who has bought it an updated version). I hope to include four new lists and a fair amount of extra background material on several of the existing lists.

Hail, Caesar!
Caesar himself is an interesting piece. His horse is Foundry, his body Aventine, and his head Warlord.

A tale of two Ptolemies
On the day of the game, I went with the Effete Youth, over the Dashing Commander. The rest, as they say, was history...

You wait six months for a Ptolemy, and then two come along at the same time...

Temporarily Echecrates
This is a lovely Aventine Pyrrhus casting, superbly painted by Raglan, who will proxy for Echecrates. Gareth has a very interesting painting style, which I intend to study a little later on... reminds me of the Fauves. I love his cloaks!
