Welcome to "Adventures in Lead", a blog dedicated to the hobby of miniature wargaming. The figures and terrain on this site are mainly for a campaign set in exotic "Indostan", a distant land bearing remarkable similarities to 18th century India during the Seven Years War. Bits and pieces from other projects may pop up here as well from time to time, including colonials, gladiators, pirates, dinosaur-hunting and even some RPG'ing.
The actual campaign journal and after action reports for the Indostan campaign can be found on their own blog - "Indostan: The Jewel in the Crown", the link to which is found by clicking the small image below-left.

You may be given a cactus but you don’t have to sit on it.

In preparation for running What a Cowboy! at Cancon 2023 this year I decided to remove the trees from my Wild West table and replace them with some cacti. Nothing says Wild West like a Saguaro.

These were printed for me by a good mate and they came up a real treat. They are beautiful 3D sculpts from Epic Basing.They have heaps of great detail, are well proportioned, and I'm told printed up very easily with no hassles at all.

I'm really happy with how they turned out and think they'll make all the difference on my Babel Wild West table.

    Fabulous! I love the look of these, I made some out of clay for a Wild West game we were playing, but these look so much better.

      Would like to see them Michael - I'm sure you did them justice. I think these would have been way much less work for you.
