Which Warhammer army would British Authors play This is really enjoyable and of course you can start thinking about who other authors that were not included would play.
Maybe some contemporary authors would be
Martin Amis - I think Dark Angels with a tooth motif on their costumes could be appropriate.

Reading Log 2019 part 1
To try and keep track of the many books I have read during the year and also provide some potted reviews. I have got some reviews of wargames books coming but those will be a bit later as they need work.
Flashman by George MacDonald Fraser - the first of the series and one of the best as Flashman starts his misadventures in the Anglo-Afghan War of 1839-40.
The Longest Day: D-Day 75th Anniversary Edition
Cornelius Ryan - still a classic of reporting from the Normandy Landings.
Pegasus Bridge: D-day: The Daring British Airborne Raid
Stephen E. Ambrose. Another book about D-Day as the 75th Anniversary revitalised my interest. This is like most of Ambrose's books a very easy read though not a particularly accurate work of history.
John Keegan - The Face Of Battle: A Study of Agincourt, Waterloo and the Somme (New Ed)
- another reread of an important study of the sharp end of military history. This is really essential reading for anyone interested in military history as though the eye witness accounts assembled by Ryan or Ambrose do convey the feeling of what is happening in the front line, there is not a great deal of analysis to give a bigger picture around it.

Painting Update 10 February - more ACW
Finished up some more 15mm ACW both freshly painted and rebased. I've now got down about a dozen to finish rebasing before that is done, but still plenty more for this project with more guns and cavalry to paint as well as the infantry for Sharp Practice.
Firstly the freshly painted Peter Pig and Freikorps command stands for the Union.
Next rebased Warlord games Union Zouaves painted as the 14th Brooklyn and a Confederate command stand.

Nearing the end of my rebasing of my ACW 15mms, thankfully. Then onto getting the rest painted.
Some Confederate infantry - all old Warband figures still available from CP Miniatures.
