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!

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry, brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

Xenos Rampant: Kindred vs Tau, Mission Juliet

"Right chips! Mission is jolly simple, get in, snatch the objectives, get out." "Sir?" "Yes Sergent?" ""What objectives?" 'Well, lads, the Colonel has quite taken by the local antique furniture, he wants a set for his holiday home!" "Ohhh. Siiiiiiiiiiir!" I brought my Kindred, but forgot Snoopy , who would have been really useful for this scenario. Mort suggested we played 27 points. I brought that, I hope he did too. My infantry was upgraded to Heavy Infantry, two with anti-tank, one without, all with heavy weapons, Fray Bentos the Tank was back, as well as the Vickers HMG team. Mort brought his Tau, two large units of heavy infantry with heavy weapons. a unit of drones - lesser Xenos upgraded for shooting, and a walker/tank. One of the objectives Nice table A chair sitting proud in ruins. Two more bits sat on hills waiting for new owners. The Vickers heavy weapons team heads into the squeltch to give fire support,...
