10mm Franco Prussian War French 1st Corps 1st Division

Started this project in 2013, 10 years later the infantry for 1st Corps are finished. The cavalry and Corps artillery have been despatched, thanks Leon at Pendraken. Will move onto 2nd Division 3rd Corps by about 2034 at this rate!

Anyway...
1st Division, done!


My basing and labelling, originally for Volley and Bayonet, now Corps/divisional scale Black Powder (insert 'if I could do it again I would change...' comments)


Advance!


My view


The details are what takes the time ion a batch this size. Hand painted flags and the backpacks took about a day each!


Support assests from 8th & 9th Cuirassiers from the cavalry division and 99th Infantry from 7th Corps


Allows me to think about running Worth as a battle


One day I will field all the corps I own (French I  now have the Guard, 1st, 2nd, 4th & parts of 5th and 7th)


But I still love FPW!

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...
