Gripping Beast appreciation post #4
While I was planning to do these posts in chronological order, I realised that I’d skipped the El Cid release in Nov 1997, as shown here in the advert from Wargames Illustrated.

Managed to finish painting the first section of my Indian Army for early war Burma. A full 12 soldiers. Also the AT rifle team for the HQ element. Just need to varnish and finish basing them. #CoC#wargaming#spreadthelard#15mm

More El Cid? Why not! Still one of my favourite ranges ever. There have always been various ranges of medieval Muslim soldiers available but GB really went for it with the Moors.

Sunday #WIP and I’m working through my Burma early/mid war armour and AT options. Early days for the Valentines and 2 pdrs and with crew still to do but a good start. Onwards and upwards… #CoC#spreadthelard#wargaming#Burma#15mm
Gripping Beast appreciation post #3
For many of us, this was THE release of 1998. Sculpted by Colin Patten, Gripping Beast’s Arthurian range drew directly upon Bernard Cornwell’s ‘Warlord Chronicles’ trilogy.

First early war Burma Indian Army section nearing the finish line. Hoping to finish the paint job this weekend and move onto the second. Cheeky little AT rifle team alongside. Getting there… #CoC#spreadthelard#wargaming#15mm
Napoleonic Russian Opolchenie. Got the love the character of these! Perry 28mm. Based for big battles and also a leader for Sharp Practice #spreadthelard
Our game in progress at Clotted Lard Exeter this weekend just gone.
Two hard fought sessions, with the allies (defending) just hedging it.
Game very loosely based on Leros 1943.

Our final shot here is part of the Valencia layout from the WAB supplement (featuring walls by Ian Weekley and a cast of hundreds) none of which would have come to pass without this GB range!

I believe that Duncan Patten’s sculpt of El Cid was the first, though many more were to follow as the WAB fever caught hold. Even GB themselves eventually commissioned a second version, intended as a Saga warlord.
