10mm Great Northern War Swedish forces for a friend.

Last two Swedish cavalry units, generic units to use up the figures.


Charge!

Off we jolly well go!


It's like the Grand National!


Get 'em!
 
 
Penultimate batch of Swedes done for Lee.

HRH reviews the colours


"You there, with the flag, no not you..."


It is one flag for each of Lee's infantry units


"Back! Back! I tell you!"


Like the bosses sleeves


High command


Which way we going?


Going that way!


One way to use up flags!


Inevitable top shot


Gun line


Ready guns


Had fun with the limbers


Bring horse artillery, they are ready to go


That's a lot of firepower


Getting Gettysburg vibes here
 
Seven more units done for Lee's collection, taking him to 12.
Some of these even travelled to Switzerland to be worked on!
I do apologise about the lack of diaeresis over some of the letters.

Starting with two more infantry units.
Narke Varmland




I've since sorted the bottom of that flag


Off they go


Dal, being berated by a Narke Varmland officer.


And I've straightened that pike!


Ready for action


Quite an impressive bunch


Brigaded together

You thought that was a decent amount of figures and units?
100 Swedish cavalry


Sources say the Swedes rode with their knees behind each other, so you get a tightly packed wedge.


Vasterbotten




Sodra Skanska




It's a good line


Player's eye view


Even works in two lines, just!


Ostgota


Twenty figures per unit over four bases gives quite the impression of BIG units. I love 10mm!


Charge? You had to ask?


Abo Och Bjorneborgs


Big boys
 
 
Forgot the Leivregementet Til Hast, gaurds cavalry regt!   :o




 First off, five tricorned infantry units, all based for ReG, MeG's renaissance spin-off for Lee.

Sodermanland


Mixing Pendraken mk I and mkII flags, thanks Leon for sorting those

Back view


Told you they were Sodermanland! I labelled all the bases as although the units are ROUGHLY similar, they all have subtle differences (hat piping, leg colours, etc)


Kronoberg


Top view, grenadiers are from the Pendraken Marlburian ranges


"What do you mean about face?"


Fresh off the blocks today, Upplanders


Eight loose shot, ten close pike for the visual effects.


I like the effect here


I'm not sure all units had grenadiers attached, certainly some were consolidated to assault parties. Lee decided he wanted them intergrated into units, so I enjoyed trying to find their mitre details, Uppland is one I definitely found and is correct.


The line fires.


Player's eye view


Skaraborg


I really love their flags, very eye catching (mk 2, type II)


Again, as Lee sees them


Livgardet Tu Fot (oneof the world's longest active units)


Firing line detail


Pikes detail


How did that get there! Since removed


All five units


That's an A5 container filled already!

Warhammer Old World - Goblins vs Empire, Batlle of The Hilly Hill

"Oi, where's the rest of the army?" Stumpy Jason turned round to the musician Thumpy Jason. "We's only playing 1000 points!" "Oh right. But why are there more Empire 'ooomans than us then?" the Goblin Wolfrider capatin pondered. Mort and I met up for a game of Warhammer Old World. I chose my Goblins, with only 1000 points. This led to me taking a unit of spears, with the army standard, a unit of archers, a spear chucker and some wolf riders. A level 1 mage, my general on a giant squig and Stumpy Jason rounded out my selection. I was tooled up with magic standards and characters, so half my points were tied up in characters. Mort had two units of mounted pistolliers, a spear unit, two detachments , one of handgunners, one of halbardiers, and a small unit of knights. Two characters were embedded in his spears and one pistolliers, and a mage strode forwards with the halbardiers. My wolves and general went left, archers, spears, bolt chucker and...

Mortal Gods - Three Sided scrap - finding the treasure.

Typhon woke up, his head was banging, and there would definitely be a new scar on hi sarm... "Nice to see you can take a knock too!" Leandros looked over at the archer. Polykratos sat on a nearby boulder, helmet and shield at his feet, sword bloodied, he was smiling at his two fellow fighters. "Nice to see you two sleepy heads. By the way, we won! Spartans and Etruscans all sent packing, treasures secrured!" Dave, David and I met up for a game of Mortal Gods. Mark was meant to be joining us, but he had to call off. This is only a quick report, as we were haing too much of a laugh! Six objecties were scattered across the field, which you have to find and hold until the end of turn 5. One would go live on a roll of '6', if an action was expended on it. The others then are empty. Three sides means two corners and an edge. 450 points each. I was nearest, Dave the other corned, David the opposite edge.My standard warband took to the field, with their eyes firmly...
