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 Thought Sharke needed some support, so when I ordered terrain from Alternative Armies, I added a certain Sergeant. He's a BIG unit! Thought it was only a few months back painted Sharke, but I checked back, 10th December 2022! 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, ...

Soldiers of Napoleon - Imperial Guard vs Austrians.

Mark and I met up for a game at Leighton Buzzard Wargames Club. My Imperial Guard vs his Austrians, but he had taken an earlier list (1806), whereas mine was back to 1811. This time saw the first fielding of my new Young Guard. My plan was to adance the guard through the two villages, one brigade had deployed forwards in the centre to accomplish this; then swing in from the left with the Gauard Heay Cavalry brigade. Unfortunately, Mark had other ideas! He had deployed with his cavalry brigade screening forwards. Then it all really went his way. Soldiers of Napoleon has three things you can do on each card, an amount of units that can move, a rally state and special events. Sometimes, the cards fall absolutely how you want them to, sometimes, they don't. Turn one and Mark had been dealt two sets of 'At the quick' special event cards, allowing a march and then a manouver (or vice versa) for three units. Exactly the amount of cavalry units in his brigade! Combined with a ...
