My Hobbylinc Order Arrives

I placed a relatively large order to Hobbbylinc.com for a bunch of new miniatures for my various wargames that are in some form or other of progress. For my first DBA army, Italeri Gauls.

For a fantasy DBA wargame that I am going  to work on simultaneously (yes, this is in all probability more than I can chew) - Orion Light Alliance Dwarves Set #1.


For my ongoing World War III wargame, Caesar Modern British Army.
Unfortunately, the set does not come with many figures to begin with, and three of them are the relatively useless jumping-over-the-wall pose, in the center.

Most of the figures were gray, but some came in a light brown color.
This guy is completely baffling. He is not one of the poses listed on PSR, and looks like a mistake of some kind. His left arm is a rounded stump, and I have no idea what he's holding in the other one. In another modern set I got from Caesar, the Modern US Elite Force, one of the figures was a Navy SEAL from the Modern Special Forces Worldwide set. It seems to be a Caesar trademark to insert a random figure into each box! In the case of the Navy SEAL, he was a nice addition, but this guy is 100% useless. He doesn't even look like a casualty, otherwise I would use him as a wounded soldier. 



And lastly, Imex Confederate Infantry. These guys are for an American Civil War diorama that I have been commissioned to make for a middle school classroom. All expenses paid. The diorama is going to be for the battle of Hazel Grove. I'll post on the details of this project as soon as I can. 
So, if anyone is keeping track, I am juggling no less than four projects: an ancient DBA wargame, a fantasy DBA wargame, a World War III wargame, and a Civil War diorama. Chances are, knowing myself as I do, I will end up immersing myself in another project of some sort before I complete any of the current ones. Oh, well. I don't have a deadline of any kind, so I'll just keep plugging away.
