A weekend's shopping

I popped into Wargames Emporium on Saturday morning and bought some Victrix Roman legionaries to support the Infamy Infamy plan.


Given that some of the castings are designed as centurions and legates, the 24 figures is going to be enough for just two Groups in Infamy Infamy terms. Not sufficient for a whole force but enough to be going on with from a painting point of view.

Sunday was the annual drive up to Leeds for Fiasco. This event has moved back to the Royal Armouries from the conference venue across the square. The space allocated was smaller and it was a struggle, sometimes, to move around. On the other hand there was a good, busy buzz about the place so maybe the Leeds club will be pleased with the result?

I had a chat with Andy from Sally 4th over his Marcus Didius Falco Pulp Alley game.


This looked fabulous and I must get some of Sally 4th's Roman civilians. The terrain was inspiring from a Gangs of Rome point of view. So much so that my few purchases were all for that setting.


The two buildings will complete what I need for now as we move into an occasional Gangs of Rome campaign from Christmas onwards.

The figure is Bad Squiddo's 'The Seer":



Although she's probably intended for a fantasy setting, I think she'll work fine as a denizen of Rome. She could just be one more citizen in the Mob but I fancy coming up with some special rules at use her as an incola. For some reason the words "Woe, woe, and thrice woe" seem appropriate!

It has been very interesting watching this project come together, there is something very appealing about Rome and the Romans.

Thanks Martin. I'll do my best to keep the entertainment coming. Indeed, you'd be very welcome to come over and partake in the story-telling some time.

Excellent haul Mr C. Had Infamy Infamy since it first came out and sad to say it has sat on my bookshelf ever since! Maybe 2026 is the year to dust it off.

We need to play 1812 SP first!
