15mm Siamese for Chris - Khursanan miniatures

A friend has asked me to paint this lot, and they are great fun to do.

The elephants are now done.
I replaced all spear shafts with pins for this lot. The originals were too flexible.

CinC, he is converted to wear armour, base built up and standard (the white xmas tree) built and added.
The important person drive the elephant in Thai armies.

I am really happy with him!

The tree is dismountable for storage.

Deforestation is a pain!

Elephant generals

Generals have two guard escorts

Four elephants

Three more

All seven 'normal' nellies

Heavily converted javelinmen, (shields removed, arms moved, scratch built arquibuses added)

Elephant wedge!

Tree really gets in the way!

Elephants are so bit they don't fit the lightbox!

Hope they're 'Sudyod' for you!

They fit nicely into a box too!

Here are the Guards.

A surprisingly difficult batch to photograph...

With the Guard infantry added, they add a much more colourful and regular unit, so a more uniformed appearance.

Read view to show off their legs!

Trying to show the variety here.

In daylight, the bronze, red, blue really zings.

Quite a mass, lovely sculpts, very clean and great to paint.

I am informed they are Reg Bd(f), so quite a tasty mix in DBM.

Mean looking bunch

Choppy choppy!

Close up to show that I used two colours on blades.

Elephants next! Thousands of them!

Original batch.

They come from the lovely Khursanan Early Siamese army.

I tried to make these first two batches as naturalistic and dull as possible, knowing that the Royal Guards and the elephants will be a LOT more colourful as the centre of attention for the army.

12 bases of skirmishing archers

Form double line!

Bases were an attempt at jungle...

24 bases of auxiliary types

It's quite a horde!

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!

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...
