6mm Baccus Napoleonic Commission starting with the French, and finishing with 1806 Saxons!

 Soon to fly off to Australia, this is the first of many batches of 6mm Napoleonics from a certain Sheffield based company (oh all right, it's Baccus and they're lovely).

Another batch of Dru's figures, which the keen-eyed amoungst you will recognise as Prussians doubling up as Saxons for 1806-7 to fight the French I have painted preiously. He will base up and I added the appropriate flags where needed. If Covid had not turned my brain to mush as I was trying to match flags to units, and I was so bored in isolation that thankfully, I could happily get on with it.

Infantry units Dygerri, Cerrini, Low, Niesermeuschel, Oebschelwitz, Prinz Anton, and Prinz Fredrich August

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...
