10mm French Cavalry Divisions from 1st Corps and 7th Corps for 1870

FINALLY!
The missing Horse Artillery battery, and a massive thank you to Leon at Pendraken for whipping the casting dwarves raw until they agreed to produce a spare Cuirassier command figure to be General Bonnemains.


This completes 1st Corps in its entirity and also 7th Corps Cavalry division


Ready for action


Obligatory top view

 

 

Almost completed French 1st Corps (a general and a battery to add) and the other half of Bonnemains's Cuirassier Division from 7th Corps done. All in my V&B basing system for use in Black Powder.

1st Corps Cavalry, 2nd & 6th Lancers, 3rd Hussars and 11th Chasseurs a Chevel, 7th Dragoons and Gen Duhesme


The dragoons did not see action in the first battles of the war, but I just had to do them


They're a pretty batch


Off they trot


One day, they might even get to be used


Mac Mahon and corps artillery assets (that need one more base of horse artillery)


Top down


It's almost Prussian in its weight of guns


BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM


2nd and 3rd Cuirassiers from 2nd Reserve Cavalry Division, attached to 7th Corps and accompanying horse artillery, Bonnemains will arrive later.


Standing by, enjoying the view


"Yeah, you keep waving that sword mate, we're staying 'ere!"


"Oh come on lads, please!"

Two Prinz August self molded skeletons and two games workshop skeletons. Back view Quite a mix of weaponry Charge   Antediluvian Miniatures recently produced these, and I just had to have them! Left - Right Heinrich Kemmler, Lord Krell, Ranlac the Black and Mikeal Jacsen! The four main characters based on the illustrations within 'The Terror of The Lichemaster warhammer 2nd edition mini-campaign. PDF here They are the main antagonsits of the campaign, and genuinely nasty pieces of work! I moved the arm pose on Krell to give him some depth For c£20 they are lot bigger, and a damn sight more affordable, that the price the originals go for on ebay!   Three (maybe two, one is a mou...

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   A 1983 Grenadier warrior, and a 1985 McDeath Highlander, both from my brilliannt neighbour Brian in his random assortment of stuff. Yes, the camera is knackered... Top view, one for Frostgae period, the other to join my ECW Scots Blurry When the back view is the least blurred...

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 m...
