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!

Bird's eye view

Warhammer 40000 Sisters of Battle build and paint project

I have not played 40k since the mid 00's, but a couple of months ago I really enjoyed a game of Combat Patrol (40k light with fixed forces). It would have been easy to go Nids (which I have played in campaigns) or Marines, or revert to Tau or Grey Knights, my two previous forces, but I decided to try something different. Very different. Which has been tempting me for a while and always fascinated me as a design concept. Sisters of Battle or Adeptus Soritas. Nuns with guns. Utter loony loyalists with religous fervour, armour, guns, iconography and fanatical devotion to The Pope The Emperor! So, over the next (insert indeterminate) period of time, I will be building, painting and posting about the Adeptus Soritas Combat Patrol. Soritas Unit Sisters of Battle Research 7/10, Build 6/10, Paint 8/10, Fun 9/10 I stayed away from the GW suggested red and black scheme, and went with something more fun, purple and gold. A lot ...

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...
