Hi Marc,
good point, I agree a general or a commander in chief was always
crucified only after returning home, but given the practice was
diffuse (not only in Carthaginian armies) IMHO it won't be
unreasonable to assume lesser officers been executed immediately prior
or after a battle. The Carthaginian army always included large numbers
of mercenaries and drafted troops, and a display of this kind was
probably very healthy for discipline... ;)
Given the above I think I'll do a crucified officer anyway, probably
wearing a tunic only, perhaps with the tied belt as symbol of his
rank. I very much like your idea of the arms put on display next to
him, will do that!

Cheers,

Claudio

Hello everyone

have you thought about doing some Roman Fetial priests? They'd be
good for the Earlier Roman armies camp and baggage elements. i think
htere's an Osprey wqith a reconstruction in it I think, probably
the 'Early Roman Armies' one. They could be doing their pig sacrifice
or the spear thrown  into enemy territory routine.

Another suggestion would be a mounted togate Roman general engaging
in devotio, ie charging into the enemy to seek death having vowed his
life to the gods in return for the guarantee of Roman victory.

just thinking out loud ...

Ed

It`s more than unlikely that a general is crucified during an ongoing
battle - they used to be sentenced by the advicory board of the hundred far
home at Carthege and crucified there. So a crucified general is not
suitable for a Bg-element! (at least to me).

My assumption is that a general would be crucified in it`s normal high
class coats, perhaps with a helmet, but not with other armour. Maybe that
is stalled in front?

Regards,

Marc

Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

Greetings,
after being dead in the water for a while the new embankments for
Hoppidus are finally taking a final shape! I've uploaded the concept
drawings of the new planned ranges in the "files" section, is called
15for-axyw.jpg

These are not just new modules, but complete series of modules, each
meant as an alternative and to complement the current embankment range.

15for-AX it's specifically designed to allow the use of the walltops
with only as small as a support as it's practically possible,
especially for Roman marching camps, biblical and medieval camps. It
will be 15mm deep and we plan also a "L" corner module (15for-LX).

15for-A is the current embankment (shown here for comparison),
15for-AY is an expansion module meant to be used with the existing
range to give you the option to upgrade your fortifications with a
ditch whenever you want to, and still allow you to field them without
when you choose.
It will be roughly 15mm deep and we plan also a "L" corner module
(15for-LY), a round corner module (15for-CY) and a pair of end bits
(15for-GY).

15for-AW it's an altogether more substantial wall, primarily intended
for permanent fortifications and scenario games, but suitable for
gallic wars kind of camps. It is 20mm wide at the top of the rampart
and has an integral ditch at the front. The stone facing is of the
type described by Caesar (murus gallicus) showing the timber structure
and said to be impervious to battering rams.
It will be roughly 80mm deep and we plan also an a version with access
stairs at the back (15for-BW), a "L" corner module (15for-LW), a round
corner module (15for-CW) and an entrance module (15for-GW).

The three ranges will be compatible with all the existing walltops but
can not be mixed themselves, since they'll have considerably different
height and depth, as shown in the cross-section comparison diagram at
the top.

On top of this we are also going to add two new walltops using "sudes"
stakes. This was a wooden stake 4 to 5 feet long, tapered to point at
both ends with a cut out center "handgrip". These stakes are often
incorrectly termed  "Pila Muralis" (literally "Wall Spear", which
instead probably was a particularly heavy javelin made for throwing
down from walls). Just how these stakes were employed is still
debated, since they are not shown in artwork at all.
We plan two versions, a low one where they are used as a fence on top
of a rampart so that half length is buried (they would reach up just
beyond the bottom edge of a defender's shield) and a taller one where
only the bottom tip is buried, and they are lashed together at the
central grip, providing protection up to the shoulders.
We're also making yet another walltop, this one using sharpened tree
branches, as described by Polybius and used by the Greeks and early
Roman armies.
All these three new walltops will be made in metal (they'll be too
fragile if made of resin) and will be compatible with all embankments.

Finally we have finalised a new set of modules specifically designed
to allow using the fortified gate as a DBA camp. These are two shorter
"L" shaped corners that also work as truncated ends for the gate,
allowing a small camp compatible with the 120x40mm max size for DBA to
be assembled. You can see a picture of the masters in the files
section, is called 15for-Q2.jpg

No final release date for all this is available as yet but we hope to
begin releasing the first modules late May or early June.

Until then, enjoy your games!

Cheers,

Claudio

Claudio,

You should also look into the Renaissance Ink Bases.  They offer
plastic bases with magnets and 2 thicknesses of wood also available
with the magnets.  you can check them out at
http://www.renaissanceink.net/

Enter your vote today!  A new poll has been created for the
baueda group:

Hi all,
we're in the process of restocking on
bases for our "ready to play" range of
pre-panted and pre-based elements, as we
have a number of choices I thought this
could be the right time to ask for
input, so here is the question for you:
what bases do you prefer for your
baggage camp models?

Options are:

1) Plastic 3mm thick. Black "spongy"
plastic, the kind Essex sells. Fairly
accurate, would warp with excessive
heat. Corners are neat but edges are
quite rough.

2) MDF 2mm thick. Precisely cut, but
corners may damage if fall. Edges are
porous and a bit rough.

3) Litko 3mm thick plywood bases high
precision laser cut. Very nice solid
straight corners and sides.

4) Litko thin plywood bases are same as
option 3 but made of 1/32 inch (0.03
inch, 0.8 mm) plywood.
May warp if soaked wet, haven't tried it
but seems likely.

Price difference is minimal, and will
not affect final product selling price.
Metal bases are unpractical because of
shipping weight. Other options welcome...

Thanks for taking time to answer the
poll anyway!

Cheers,

Claudio

Hi all,
Some of the models used for the website and catalogue pictures are on
sale on e-bay to promote the new ranges. The usual US$1.00
starting price and no reserve price promotional auction conditions
apply.
Just log in to e-bay go to "search", click the tab "by seller" and
enter "baueda".

We're also now finalizing the first series of 15mm figures, will post
pictures soon!

Last, a word of advance warning: we're going to close down between the
5th and the 22nd of April, as we're installing the metal casting
equipment and try out the first molds with those figs. The 24th there
will be Salute in London, and we are going to be there as guests of
the Venexia stand, hopefully with a nice display piece... bottom line
if you want something before may you should try and put an order with
us in the next couple of weeks...

That's it for now, so enjoy your games!

Cheers,

Claudio

Excellent! Makes me want to get a Roman army (but that would make me a
traitor to my Cartheginians).

Speaking of Catheginians, what about a Tophet to Baal-Hammon? Some kind of
idol with a flaming pit below its outstretched arms. It would also be
appropriate for HotT strongholds. And maybe a crucified general to
'encourage' the troops?

Simon

Hi all,
I've finished a custom order for a Saxon-shore kind of fort, it's a
DBM LIMP Roman camp assembled on a single base, 12TF plus a gate, so
it's large enough to hold eight bagagge bases plus ten or so defenders
on the walls (with space to recoil) and also a few cavalry elements to
sally out at the right moment... :) I think it is a nice idea, I hope
one day I'll find the time to do one for myself... ;)

Anyway, I've posted a couple of pictures in the Photos section if you
want to take a look!

Cheers,

Claudio

Hi Robert,
thank you for the ideas!
There are a number of available figures suitable for mound builders in
15mm, check out:
http://fanaticus.org/DBA/themes/americas/
and in particular
http://fanaticus.org/DBA/themes/americas/rudyfigures.html

However if there are some specific figure nobody does, which could
complement these, I'll be glad to consider a small pack, say 4 or 6
figs... any suggestion for actual figures/poses/equipment are welcome!

Cheers,

Claudio

Hi Chris,
glad you like them! :)
I'm afraid there are no plans at the moment for more substantial
walls, I'm familiar with Steve Barber excellent range, but he's a very
nice guy and I wouldn't like to interfere too much with his own
line... :) I think I'll leave to him to do a gate hose for it, but
next time I'll see him (I guess at Salute in April) I'll definitely
going to ask him for one!
OTOH we are going to address the lack of ancient structures (not only
roman, but certainly lots of them) in 15mm... no precise plans yet but
I'm thinking at a modular bridge, watchtowers, signal flares,
legionary barracks, huts, etc... any suggestion is always welcome!
We're also going to do figs that go with them, I'm working right now
on the first set of roman soldiers building a fort, these will be also
followed by partially built embankment modules for Hoppidus. the idea
is to allow people to play scenario based games where the Romans have
to complete a building (fort will be first but bridge should come
shortly after) as a scenario objective...
I'll post pictures of the masters for the figures as soon as they're
finished!

Cheers,

Claudio

I would love to see suitable figures for the Mound Builders DBA army....I
hear they even wore some armor made of wood.  Could be very interesting!!  I
think quite a few folks would purchase such figures, since DBA has a good
following and DBA armies are small and it is easier (and seems cheaper....till
you buy
a lot of armies like me) to collect/paint the needed minis for an army.

Hear Hear on the Emishi though.  I will buy those.

Hello,
Very, Very nice models.  I have not had the pleasure to purchase any
yet. When the working season starts up the 15 mm Roman Gate is a
must have.  My question is, are there plans for any Hadrian's wall
type models in the future in the 15mm scale.  The only other
reputable company that produces acceptable "Wall" at this scale is
Steve Barber. There are strait crenellated(sp)wall sections and the
turrent models, but, what is lacking is is a masonary gate house.
How are my armies supposed to sally forth with out a gate to do so.
Beside he has not added on to the range in years.

Over all there is a general lack of any quality Roman structures
civilan and military in the 15mm range. I know demand justfies
creation. Just my two cents.

Thanx Chris

Declan, it wouldn't happen to be at Cold Wars was it?

Hi Declan,
thank you for the nice comments, glad you like our stuff!
We've no plans at the moment for 15mm fantasy, we do have some long term
ideas for 25mm fantasy but I guess that's not the same... :)
Said that I'm always open to new ideas, what would you like to see?

Cheers,

Claudio

Hi,

Love your stuff. Picked up some ail order (very efficient service) a
while back and some at a show recently.

Are you considering doing any 15mm Fantasy stuff?

Declan

I just had a message from a nice guy who had some problem painting our
resin models, so I thought I better give a word of warning to all
those who may have little previous experience of working with resin
models... not only ours... :)
The following has also been added to the website FAQs page, and I've
posted a copy of the FAQs in the files section of the group. This
document will be maintained in a live state and updated as needed.

Q: Should the plain cast models be washed before painting to prevent
paint flaking off?
A: Yes! Absolutely, all resin models need to be washed thoroughly with
hot water and a strong detergent first, to clean off all traces of
mold release agent. To get the best results from washing your model
components I'd suggest using a mild abrasive cleaner diluted in water.
I use a kitchen floor cleaner. The models should then be given a scrub
with an old toothbrush or something similar. A toothbrush is useful as
the bristles are fine enough to fit into small gaps but firm enough to
actually do something. I usually leave the components to soak for a
little while before using the toothbrush. Then remove the models,
rinse thoroughly and allow them to dry. The reason for doing this is
to make sure all traces of mould release fluids are removed. It also
gives a very slight abrasion to the surface of the model that with
some of the smoother models will help with paint adhesion. Once they
are thoroughly dry give them a preparation coating with a good quality
primer, whatever you use for your figures should do. I use a car body
primer as it has a stronger grip than most model primers. Give it a
very light coat first and make sure you follow all the spray can
directions for best results. Let it dry and repeat the application. We
do three coats, but two are usually enough. Let the primer dry
overnight and you're ready to paint the models with whatever paint you
want, even watercolours! If you are going to handle them a lot you may
also consider a protective varnish over the paintjob, I don't like
them much myself, but if you have to use one I'd recommend Humbrol matt.

Cheers,

Claudio

Hi David,
we plan to do lots of things... ;)
We want to fill every gap in the current availability of figures we
can, so nope, not only camp followers, but we don't expect to embark
in any complete line either for the time being...
A good example of this would be the flaming pigs and handlers I'm
working on right now, for the Camillan Romans. They're not camp
followers but that doesn't means we are going to make yet one more
line of romans, or greeks or gauls for that matter! There are already
so many excellent ones out there it would seem a waste of time, with
so many other things still missing...
Another set we've just started on are Emishi, foot archers only for
the time being, but mounted ones may follow soon...
Not thinking at stopping to 15mm either, I'm thinking at a 25mm
carroballista for early imperial, which doesn't seem to be available
anywhere, and I may do a 15mm version too, as none of the various
combination of carts and scorpio looks really satisfying to me... the
trick will be to get it to fix on a 40mm base... =:(
If you have any particular figure or character you can't find just let
us know and if it's possible we'll give it a go!

Back to sculpt now!

Cheers,

Claudio

Hello to all,

Does Baueda plan to have a full line of 15mm or just camp follower
types?

Regards,

David

Hi Dave,
25mm contubernum (legionary tent) is in development already, the
master should be ready by the end of March, but I don't think we'll
manage to start working on the molds until end of April, as we've got
the metal casting equipment to install and Salute coming that month...
I can't give you a definitive release date as yet, but I think they
should be out around half May at the latest...

Model is made to fit standard DBM baggage base size, so <60x80mm.

We plan to do a lot more for this, and it's possible that we'll have
something else also ready in time, including figures... we'll see...

Cheers!

Claudio

Claudio;

I need help!  Painting and building a 25mm EIR army for the 25 DBM
Open at Historicon this year, and I can't find anything suitable.
I've purchased some of those sharpened stakes from First Corps, but
need some help with the rest.  What's Baueda's plans for 25mm Roman
baggage for DBM before July?  Thanks in advance.

Dave

Hi Stuart,
and welcome to the group!
Baggage packs of metal figures is indeed the way we intend to go, at
least for 15mm. I've uploaded to the files section a list of all the
figures we're currently planning, how many we are going to release
first, which ones and when I really can't say yet, but generally
speaking we're aiming at an early may release and will fit in as many
as I can manage to make the greens for... ;)
Have a look at the list and as usually feel free to comment, criticize
and suggest, your opinion is most important!

Cheers,

Claudio

PS: will post pictures of the greens as they'll become available...

Evening all,

As a new member to this group-a few words are in order-I play DBM, with the
following armies;

Parthian, Sassanid, Late Roman, Normans and Nikephorian/Konstantinian
Byzantines..

Following on from the thread about spears being used as a palisade for a
Roman camp, may I make a plea for army specific baggage?

for example aside from Romans -what baggage would people suggest for the
more popular ancient armies?

For example for Byzantines I thought of a group of praying monks, an usurper
being raised up on a shield, pack mules (the tuldum) an ox on a pit, the
imperial tent, and 3 smaller tents...

Perhaps an idea might be to create baggage packs of suitable figures, and
items for different armies-what do folks think?

Cheers

Stuart

Hi all!
March is upon us, and with it comes four new 15mm models:
15mm Medieval King's Pavilion
15mm New Kingdom Egyptian Tent
15mm Gothic (german) tent
15mm Arab palace tent

check out the pictures of the painted samples, just been posted on the
website: http://www.dreamsstudio.com/baueda/

Those very models used for the website and catalogue pictures will
soon be sold on e-bay to promote the new ranges. The usual US$1.00
starting price and no reserve price promotional auction conditions
apply, also to the items usually not available painted from us... so
keep an eye on it in the next couple of days!
Just log in to e-bay go to "search", click the tab "by seller" and
enter "baueda".

We're now working on new Hoppidus modules, designed to allow to
realize small camps suitable for DBA, but... hold on tight now,
because this is a big one: we're also starting to work on the masters
for 15mm camp and baggage train *figures*. That's right, BAUEDA is
about to go lead, and if everything goes as planned (finger crossed!)
we may have the first figures out in a few months!
Apart anything else, what this means is that from now on you're
welcome to send in your suggestions also for figures! We do not plan
to make whole complete ranges at the moment, but rather to continue to
fill the gaps in the existing production as we've done so far. We will
start with 15mm camp and baggage figures for ancients but we are very
happy to consider any interesting idea! One we're going to do for
sure, I can tell you that right now, are the infamous flaming pigs and
their heartless roman hadlers! :)

Last thing, I've noticed you have some of you has set their
preferences to no-email, but since the main reason for subscribing to
this mail list is to receive a notification when new models are
released I would suggest you to modify your preference to to "Special
notices" only, this way you'll get only announcements of new products
releases, like this one, that's about a message once a month...

That's it for now, so enjoy your games!

Cheers,

Claudio
