15mm Siamese for Chris - Khursanan miniatures

A friend has asked me to paint this lot, and they are great fun to do.

The elephants are now done.
I replaced all spear shafts with pins for this lot. The originals were too flexible.

CinC, he is converted to wear armour, base built up and standard (the white xmas tree) built and added.
The important person drive the elephant in Thai armies.

I am really happy with him!

The tree is dismountable for storage.

Deforestation is a pain!

Elephant generals

Generals have two guard escorts

Four elephants

Three more

All seven 'normal' nellies

Heavily converted javelinmen, (shields removed, arms moved, scratch built arquibuses added)

Elephant wedge!

Tree really gets in the way!

Elephants are so bit they don't fit the lightbox!

Hope they're 'Sudyod' for you!

They fit nicely into a box too!

Here are the Guards.

A surprisingly difficult batch to photograph...

With the Guard infantry added, they add a much more colourful and regular unit, so a more uniformed appearance.

Read view to show off their legs!

Trying to show the variety here.

In daylight, the bronze, red, blue really zings.

Quite a mass, lovely sculpts, very clean and great to paint.

I am informed they are Reg Bd(f), so quite a tasty mix in DBM.

Mean looking bunch

Choppy choppy!

Close up to show that I used two colours on blades.

Elephants next! Thousands of them!

Original batch.

They come from the lovely Khursanan Early Siamese army.

I tried to make these first two batches as naturalistic and dull as possible, knowing that the Royal Guards and the elephants will be a LOT more colourful as the centre of attention for the army.

12 bases of skirmishing archers

Form double line!

Bases were an attempt at jungle...

24 bases of auxiliary types

It's quite a horde!

Bird's eye view

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 Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! Nasty rash there Puss, but no boots 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!

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 ...
