6mm Napoleonic Russians commission.

I was asked to do some more Napoleonics, this time Russians. The owner will base and add his own flags.

tarted these 10.30 Friday night, did the assembly, base coats and ink washes by about 1.
Saturday started at 09:30, worked through until 2ish when I walked the dog for two hours, then did another hour tidying up.
Machine mode?

As usual, the owner will be basing these, ready to fight Leipzig at the weekend!

Artillery, from the rear


Front view


Five units of cuirassiers (His Maj/Lifeguards, Her Maj, Mil order and two others)


"If we sneak in in column, no one will see us!"


Ready for action


"Has anyone got any idea where we are going?"


Ready to go
 
Three Cossack units and the generals finishes off the army pack. More are on their way I hear, once I post these to their owner.

Cossacks, red = Imperial Cossacks, blue = Don/Ukranian cossacks, green = any old Cossack that was passing...


Front on



Weird blur on the imperials...


Back end of a horse...


Generals


Follow the leader?


If you look carefully, I painted the telescope lens!


What's so interesting over there?
 
Three units of Russian Hussars done today, from the top, Marioupol, Alexandria and Ahtirka


Face on


Trot trot CHARGE!


Back of horses

54 figures in this batch, 6 units of Russian Dragoons, including (closest) St Petersberg Dragoons which captured 4(!) Eagles during the Napoleonic Wars.


Three standards are real, the second one is Irkusk, which not only is a great territory name in Risk, but were also described as the WORST Russian dragoons as their horses were steppe ponies! Three are made up to the 1800 pattern.


Horses


I actually enjoyed painting the saddle cloths on these, I must be mad


Advance in single file!

Infantry, only 240 of them, owner will be basing and adding own flags.


Face on

Thin dark green line..?

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.   Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty). "Creedo!" I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere). This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure,  Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure,  completly  repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over. Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them! 72 in the first three bases of 24s. Top view, had fun posing one stand at least The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24. Back view Not the crisp view I was after, but you get the idea. 40 in five lots of 8s Allowing for flexibility. Scoot 48 in fours Top view Threes, ten bases making another thirty. Moving quickly. Top down Twos, twelve of - standard size of US troopers, useful as small change for locals! From above Back view Damn, missed one! And one broke off his base, so he's Hollywood loss (insert Wilheim scream here). Top view 33 ones (two were joined together and counted in the twos. Cantabrian anyone? Spinning maelstrom of Souix! Almost a whole A4 of riders.
