Napoleonic Rifles

Hi all,

Following a little challenge on the Black Powder page on Facebook, I was able to get some more British Rifles painted up. From one box of figures, I've got enough to field 5 small rifle armed skirmish units for BP now, which is nice! :-D

Figures are Revell 1:72 plastics

Sorry for the awful photos....








Thanks for looking

World War 2 Japanese

Well, at long last, after much "procrastination" (read painting for other projects), I've finally managed to finish off my World War 2 Japanese force. All figures are Warlord Games, with a mix of plastic, resin, and metal.

Painted for Bolt Action, but could easily be used for other games if required :-)

I hope you enjoy

Hail Caesar Assyrian Division

Howdy all!

I've been working on my Assyrian troops for Hail Caesar, amongst other projects, and managed to finish off my first division. Well, I say finished, I'll still probably end up doing some skirmishers and another light infantry unit, but for all intents and purposes, they will suit quite well.

I've been trying to identify the 2 metal figures used for the commander and his guard. I've checked Newline and Irregular, but I cannot for the life of me identify them. If anyone recognises them, please help, as they are a near perfect match and would add some more variation to my armies.

Additionally, if anyone can make any suggestions to painting the reed shields of the light infantry better, I would really appreciate it.

Mantic Dwarves - The beginning

Despite my best efforts to not start anything new, and to try and concentrate on finishing off existing projects, I picked up a few of Mantics Dwarves and Elves dirt cheap recently. I've had the free, downloadable rules for some time now, and despite them really appealing to me (Warhammer the way Warhammer should be, to me anyway) I've never gotten around to doing anything with them. Until now.

And so here is the start of my Dwarves: Ironguard and a Warsmith (apologies for the poor photography on the Warsmith) I tried to paint a hammer design on the shields, but they just didn't turn out how I wanted. Ah well, better luck on the next batch!















Thanks again for looking

Slaughterloo Light Infantry

Hi all

Second post of the day. I'm on a roll! lol

Up next are some more Slaughterloo figures. With another battle looming on the horizon, Wheeling Turn has called in for some reinforcements. Advancing their way to the front are the Orcs of the Light Company of the 38th Regiment (1st Stuffedshire). The rest of the regiment are lingering some way behind, and wont be prepared for the battle in time, but still, additional light troops will be most advantageous:












I also managed to finish another character figure, this time in the form of Deserter General Obidiah, which has left me wanting to put some units together for a Deserter Army!!




So there we go. I'm going to try and get some more stuff painted up before I get married in 8 weeks, so hopefully there will be a couple more posts between now and then.
