10mm AWI forces, Brunswickers expanded.

Painted for the Pendraken painting competition, and to supplement my long neglected AWI forces, Brunswickers,
The aim has always been to play Black Powder with these, originally back in 2011, three of us started the project, one emigrated to the US then moved Bristol (Hi Brian), one never got started (Hi John) so after a few fights with Americans on both sides (often supported by Brian's French), I ended up building forces for both sides of Freeman's Farm from the Black Powder rules by Warlord Games.

With this next batch, it finishes all the forces needed for Freeman's Farm, only taken 7 years!
Grenadier Battalion von Breymann

 Note the cords on the mitres helmets, those are sculpted on!

Light Infantry Battalion von Barner


Middle base is a recycled base, hence the different layout.

Friedrich, Baron von Riedesel,


The four missing figures!
Not sure how they escaped, but they're finished now!!!



And some more are now added, still trying to get the forces for 'Freeman's Farm' sorted! I originally started these for the painting competition, but did not get them done in time (and I'm still waiting for John to do his share)!

The second latest batch.

Canadians (small unit in Black Powder)



Corps of Marksmen, an ad hoc small unit


Loyalist Infantry (in skirmish, another small unit)



Another artillery battery (to be attached to the Brunswick units)


Varioius sabots to replace detached light infantry and grenadiers (and a spare British Grenadiers, I have no idea why)


Prinz Friedrich Infantry (Brunswickers)



One of the things the Freeman's Farm scenario wants is pickets to preceed the British force, so here they are! (Yet another small unit)


A couple of spare casualty markers, including the missing one for the 16th Dragoons.


From the previous batches...
British Artillery



The Jagers from Brunswick contingent lead the approaching reinforcements for the British. There are only 12 figures as it represents a 'small unit' in the rules, as they were a company sized detachment that fought independently throughout the Saratoga Campaign..

    Very good, the basing has the right feel for the period and I am quite taken by the pairing of the guns on that base.

Black Powder 1870 Stats and Modifications

1870 Franco-Prussian Conflict in Black Powder Hi all, If you are reading this, it's because. like us, you are Black Powder fans and want to know how we manage the Franco-Prussian War. Anything below is by no way official, just the house rules we have developed over the last few years of playing. A few thoughts first: Fighting in the period is best described as hard fought assaults by Prussians, supported by superior artillery against superior but very strong defensive French lines. All ranges and movements are in cm scale, just to be awkward! All my forces are modelled on 3” square bases, apart from divisional commanders, skirmishers and artillery which have a frontage of 1½” and Corp commanders who are on a 2” base. Feel free to ignore that. My units are regiments of infantry,   brigades of cavalry and skirmish squadrons of cav. Artillery is either battalion as one gun, or a battery of two guns on a base, horse artillery have limbers attached. Army composition...

Xenos Rampant: Kindred vs Tau, Mission Juliet

"Right chips! Mission is jolly simple, get in, snatch the objectives, get out." "Sir?" "Yes Sergent?" ""What objectives?" 'Well, lads, the Colonel has quite taken by the local antique furniture, he wants a set for his holiday home!" "Ohhh. Siiiiiiiiiiir!" I brought my Kindred, but forgot Snoopy , who would have been really useful for this scenario. Mort suggested we played 27 points. I brought that, I hope he did too. My infantry was upgraded to Heavy Infantry, two with anti-tank, one without, all with heavy weapons, Fray Bentos the Tank was back, as well as the Vickers HMG team. Mort brought his Tau, two large units of heavy infantry with heavy weapons. a unit of drones - lesser Xenos upgraded for shooting, and a walker/tank. One of the objectives Nice table A chair sitting proud in ruins. Two more bits sat on hills waiting for new owners.   The Vickers heavy weapons team heads into the squeltch to give fire support,...
