And here they are!
Brigadier Walter Modellbauer, Brigadier Friedrich von Tegetthoff and Brigadier Karl Von Marmolise (not to be confused with Major von Marmalade, currently having a fued with Tegettoff)


6th Cuirassiers - who break every rule for Cuirassier equipment!

Command for the 13th, rest of the unit will be along soon, honest!



A few chilly reinforcements, made from bits I had in storage, to split across two divisions.

3rd Hussars




4th Hussars (looks like I need to do 7th Hussars too, as both are quoted in Orbats)




Lieutenant General von Wintzingerode


The latest batch en masse


The bug has certainly bitten deeply.
Winter 7th Jagers (actually Landwehr figures, but if the shako fits, wear it).



Enjoy

I started this project in 2014, but it stalled rather. Thankfully, an inspiration struck and I got these done.

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.
