WARHAMMER ANCIENT BATTLES
and more!

English Civil War

What's New

Welcome to my photo page of 25mm miniatures used in Warhammer Ancient Battles armies. My name is Vince Salvato and I've been wargaming for a long, long time. I started back in the early 70's with historical board games, published by Avalon Hill & SPI (anyone remember Tactics II). Many of these games were very complex and I got kind of tired of them. In the mid-80's I discovered Warhammer Fantasy Battle, the rules were straight forward, easy to learn and the miniatures were terrific. Since then I've collected and painted several fantasy armies.

Then, in 1998, WAB (Warhammer Ancient Battles) appeared and I immediately got hooked. These rules were even easier than WHFB (no magic) and it was based on historical stuff. Since then I have painted 4 new armies (EIR, ancient Indian, Hittite and Mongol) - many more are being planned.

Check back every once in a while, I am always adding photos of newly painted miniatures for armies that I am creating or reinforcing. You will also find many photos of Don Effinger's extensive miniature collection here. Additionally, I plan to post a page or two concerning tactics and hobby hints. And, for those interested (probably just me) all the army lists that I have used (or plan to use) in WAB tournaments will reside right here.

BTW, all the pages take, on average, about a minute to load with a 24k modem.
