Joint Flintloque/Slaughterloo challenge

Hi all!

Following on from a post by my mate,  HERE, I am taking up the challenge of painting the opposing force. I tried a few different compositions for my army, and I didn't realise how tough it was actually going to be putting together a small, balanced 1000 point force!

My final decision is as follows:

Raw C-in-C
Raw General
Horse Artillery: a medium cannon with 4 crew
12 Orc Line (although I am proxying some Rifleorcs for this, until I can get some purchased [saving for a wedding and not being able to buy toys sucks! lol])
10 Orc Rifles
12 Black Watchit (there are 6 in the picture, and my mate is lending me his 6)

And some close ups:

I was originally going to use some Krautian Guard and Strathcarnage Rats, but decided that the above woud be more fun to play. So there you go, 23 figures inc a cannon left to paint, in 73 days. I know it doesn't sound much, but with everything else I have going on, it's going to be tough to get these done. But get them done I shall! As I finish a unit, I'll get some pics posted, so please follow our progress.

Prussian Napoleonic Officers

Well, two posts in two days, I must be a role! :-D

Another of my ongoing, very long term projects, is Napoleonics. I picked up a box of the Hat 1:72 Napoleonic Officers not too long back, which contains an incredible 12 mounted Officers for about £6. Ok, slight exageration there. You get 4 Officers, with 3 poses of each, but as the arms come seperate on some of them, there is opportunity for slight variation.

Anyway, I made a start on them, and here are the Prussian Officers (Spanish and Russian to follow at some point, but who knows when, with the way I operate! lol)

The ones that are based I intend to keep for myself, the others can be bought here: AUCTIONS

HOTT Dark Elves

Hi all!

I've been working on a few projects lately (who isn't?!?), and one of those was to finish off a Dark Elf army I started a couple of years back using Splintered Light Miniatures excellent range of 15mm/18mm figures. And now that I have finally completed them, I thought I'd share :-)

For once I've actually completed a project! However, with my wedding fast approaching, I will be selling these on, and they can be found here: AUCTIONS

Ral Partha Adventurers

It's been some time since my last update, as I've been busy with about 6 different projects at the same time! Until they are ready for "showing off", I have a few older figures that I came across whilst tidying up, and thought I'd share. These are classic Ral Partha figures, and I've had these for about 10 years. I think I picked them up at SELWG.

Anyway, here they are:

First up is Draton, the Dragon Hunter

A Male Fighter in Plate Armour

I am unsure as to the name of this female dwarf, but she looks pretty feisty! :-)

And Folan Brightbark

As I say, I've had these painted a fair amount of time, and coming across them bought back some good memories!

They can be purchased here Ebay Auctions if so desired!

Austrian Napoleonics

I picked up a box of the Strelets 1:72 Allied Staff recently, and have had the opportunity to paint up the Austrian figures from it. This is a great set of figures, with 35 sculpts representing various characters from the Napoleonic era. The Austrian figures are: Emperor Francis, Archduke Charles, Karl Philipp Prince of Schwarzenberg, A General, 2 Senior Officers, an Office, an ADC, and 2 Infantry Officers.

 

 

 

I also finished up one of the British Officers as well:

Zulu War continued

Further to my earlier post (http://brummyladsworldofpainting.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/zulu-war-project.html) I have been working on my Zulu War project in amongst all the other things I have been painting, and have a few units finished up. I had originally planned to have them based for Principles of War, but part way through decided to base them singly so I can use them for the Sword and the Flame, and will also be using them for Black Powder

Command units for BP:

 

 

 

Royal Artillery Gatling Gun and Naval Brigade Gardiner Gun:

 

Mounted Infantry and a Regiment of Infantry (probably the 80th):

 

 

I've also completed a couple of practice figures for a couple more regiments, namely the KRRC and the 91st Highlanders:

 

Lots more to come for this project, so watch this space! :-)

American War of Rebellion part 2

Working slowly through the lead and plastic piles, I finished off some more of my American War of Rebellion (Independence if you're that way inclined! lol), which leaves me with just one more lot to do in the form of some of Perry's British infantry.

 I felt like doing these wearing brown coats, as opposed to the "traditional" blue. I like how they turned out! All figures are Wargames Foundry (apologies for the poor quality of some of the pics. I'm trying to adjust to a new camera! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! lol):
