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   A 1983 Grenadier warrior, and a 1985 McDeath Highlander, both from my brilliannt neighbour Brian in his random assortment of stuff. Yes, the camera is knackered... Top view, one for Frostgae period, the other to join my ECW Scots Blurry When the back view is the least blurred...
