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.

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over.  Painted quite a lot of dismounted native foot too! Top view Singles Why is there a Squeeze song going through my head. Sneaking up on the cavalry Back view Heading out Pairs The Indians send signals from the rocks above the pass The cowboys take position in the bushes and the grass The squaw is with the corporal, she is tied against the tree She doesn't mind the language, it's the beating she don't need Threes She lets loose all the horses when the corporal is asleep And he wakes to find the fire's dead and arrows in his hats Or something like that Here we go Sixes Top view Left view Snipping or sniping 8s Lefts Backs Right Missed two bases of US cavalry Going that way Ready to go Scouting This is going to end badly for the cavalry   [img]https://i.imgur.com/k1iK9pV.jpg[/img] Mounted US troopers for Keith.

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   Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day!   Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun   TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball!   Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a Ral Patha sheep - a ram raider! There are quite a few more of these to do, but this one fell off the lead pile while I was looking for something else. He ...

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Civitas ruins boxed set.

Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter  The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it!  Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm. Marine booster pack painted up, group photos! Mixed bag About 100 extra points on table!  "Did I miss the photoshoot?" *FACEPALM* These are the ones I've be...
