Weekend Update

Just a quick update on where various bits and pieces of my Mongol ADLG project are in the pipeline. 

My friend Neil P. was kind enough to gift me a pair of gers, more popularly known by their Turkic name, yurt, for my Mongol camp element. He generously sent me two different sizes. 


The larger ger, I decided to give it a bottom border, but balked at doing any fancy work on the border or the door. 


The small ger. Cute and simple. 


My highly technical Ambush marker

I went with decidedly simple ambush markers. Phil G. has some lovely ones, but I saw Steve T.'s and they were dead easy to make. Being only so crafty, so to speak, I went with the Steve model. 


In order to "ZOC it to him", I figured I'd make a semi-professional Zone of Control Marker like some of the more experienced ADLG players. I mean, it's a pin glued into a bare base. But I like it. 


Simple hills made from foamboard, felt, glue, and paint. I need a couple more, between my mandatory and optional terrain pieces. 

I have three commanders that I've got based up now. One is from the figures bought painted, two are from my recently ordered 19th Century Miniatures. 


Chaka Khan, the Supreme Commander


Jenga Khan, he's a puzzle for sure, but he's my Number 2


Finally, there's Iffya Khan. He's kind of a so-so guy, so he gets the so-so wing of the Horde...

Anyway, there's more figures to paint and more Moby Dick I've got to read for class. Hopefully, I'll be adding some Levy and new Heavy Cavalry figures. 

Away we go....
