Extra British Aeronefs and lots of lovely terrain for Imperial Skies

I already have a British Fleet, but after my last encounter with my own French fleet, I decided I needed reinforcements!

These are my latest batch, British heavy units and lots and lots of terrain.


Two Exeter class cruisers escorting an Agemmenmon class monitor


Love the gun design on the monitor, two downwards firing twin guns, genius


Deck view, the monitor also has deck guns, unlike their French counterparts


Bad day to be on patrol when you meet that face on!


They look bullish


Brigade also do some wonderful small scale scenary. They all fit on an A5 at the moment, but I am sure they will expand one day.


Village pack


Contains 20 buildings, which I based in groups to make streets or individually with larger gardens


They all have a 'street' side

 
The Arch of Maxentius


Just love it


Will have some backstory in my games, I'm sure


Three English churches, each pack comes with three naves and randomly assorted towers, which are interchangable.


Tried to scatter basing as gravestones


It slightly upset me at first that the porches were all on the 'wrong' side from the churches where I grew up, but then that's because all th churches were on the south end of those towns.


Now I want lichgates to scale!


Church, farm and a row of houses to show scale


Walled farmhouses, I added paper backing under the bases as these are single piece castings.


Top view


Useful terrain scatter too


Fort Boyard - part of French coastal defenses - popularised in the naughties by the game show.


It's quite a structure


Will be slightly less of a structure after that monitor finishes with it!


An archie tower (Ackack) and a sea fort (Sealand mehaps)


Had fun sculpting that base


Defending our shores


Or maybe this instilation?


Denge sound wall, love it


Only found the photos of the actual ground infrastructure plan after I finished basing, oh well!


Chatley Heath Semaphore tower, emergancy communications


One of a series that used to span the country


With attached house


A factory and a warehouse.


These are big castings for 2mm! Dark satanic mills?


Huge complexes


First out the dry dock, my third(!) Rawalpindi cruiser (this is a Colonial or Type II, basically a new sculpt with seperate front turret and lovely details like the sky light).


They don't have the mass of guns the french have, but they have more hull.


Badly misalligned the flag, oops!


She's a fine looking Nef

Another project that has been sitting on the shelf for an awfully long time.

Love Imperial Skies, but been too long since I've played.
Pete has built Prussians, I have British, and half a French fleet (seen here on the Pendraken Forum, from 2017, but about a month before this Blog started), but it needed extra firepower, so here we are.

A Loire Battleship, and second Charlemagne Battlecruise, a Regnault Destroyer and two Descates Destroyers. The two heavies and the Regnault is the new design, and they are a bit tasty.


Forwards view.

Screened by the small guys, the big guns advance.

Frostgrave Warband; an orc!

An orc, been sitting in the pile of shame for a while. He's on a 30x30mm base Probably end up with my gobbos   Four more skeletons, a gift from my lovely neighbour Brian.

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   Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon! 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 months back painted Sharke, but I checked back, 10th December 2022!    Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on     Mimic from Bad Squiddo Grib...

Blizkeig Commander IV - Hasty Assault

Mark and Stephen took my British at 1750 points, with effectively the same lists as before, but with two turns of preprogrammed artillery and a turn of smoke to assault my 1100 points of Germans who were in dugouts and gunpits. I chose to defend the four hills near my baseline. I has three HMGs, three mortars, two command teams and six infantry platoons, with two PAK36s teams. PAK36s and mortars on the back hill, two infantry and an HMG on the front. Infantry and Mortars in the left hill as a flank guard British stalled, turn 1 they failed to reach the table, so it took them at least four turns to advance. Artillery had landed on the right-hand hill, and rear hill, but had failed to kill anything, even with two 8 gun batteries of 25lbers . My ambush was sprung out the thicket. British infantry advancing developed an unfortunate habit of getting hit by mortars and HMGs. The British in turn 6 cleared the central hill with armour, but needed to get at least three infantry stand...
