18th Division, IX Corps Prussians for 1870, 10mm Pendraken

Finally got these done today, artillery, artillery officer and von Manstein for IX Corps 1870, which finally finishes IX Corps, might have to carry on with French I Corps next.
I'm also trying out a new light box, so this is a bit of a trial photo dump, here goes!

Been a short lay off on these (5 years).
But 18th Division is done, completing IX Corps, apart from the Corps artillery reserve and Corps commander (interestingly, they don't appear to have had a horse artillery battery in the corps artillery reserve)

The whole division advances (not technically accurate, as 11th Grenadiers were painted some years ago to complete Prussian forces at Mars-La-Tours and will be joining them in their box this afternoon, but there is an extra unit that was involved with them at Amanvillers, can you guess who they are)?

And here they come out the afternoon sun.

6th Dragoons

Divisional artillery

The infantry (had not spotted the pva had not quite dried on the jagers, ho hum)

Divisional command

Not labelled yet, but have you spotted who they are?

Yes, 1st Guard Grenadiers Kaiser Alexander. 3rd and Schutzen will join them soon no doubt!

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day! Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball! Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a...

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Bikers.

Bikers - 3d prints for Legion Imperialis Suspect there are menat to be more per base, but it suits my denuded them. I regret not doing one with plates! Brrrrrmmmm... It's all gone a bit Judge Dredd! Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it! Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks'...

AWI forces for Lee - 10mm Pendraken

Lee asked me to paint up extra forces for his AWI collection so he can also play 'Live Free or Die'. Lee's Hessians done, all figures by Pendraken in 10mm flags by Vaubanner . The column approaches. 1st Combined Grenadier Regt Top view In line Almost wide to deploy in line for my light box! Off they go Looking good Fusilier Regt von Dittfurth From up high Nice looking troops Column advances Just, go that, way! Sarge, we're going round in circles Grenadier Regiment Rall, at ease Thin blue line? The chords really make these figures pop Not sure they actually carried colours, but the pack came with a standard bearer, and after a bit of searching, I found something probable. Everyone's favourite, the Jagers Blending in, almost Player's eye view The whole batch British light infantry done and added to Lee's collection. Again, mixed facings as they were consolidated units. Top view Made of firing and advancing plus command figures Qu...
