10mm Great Northern War Swedish forces for a friend.

Last two Swedish cavalry units, generic units to use up the figures.


Charge!

Side view


Off we jolly well go!


It's like the Grand National!


Get 'em!
 
 
Penultimate batch of Swedes done for Lee.

HRH reviews the colours


"You there, with the flag, no not you..."


It is one flag for each of Lee's infantry units


"Back! Back! I tell you!"


Like the bosses sleeves


High command


Which way we going?


Going that way!


One way to use up flags!


Inevitable top shot


Gun line


Ready guns


Had fun with the limbers


Bring horse artillery, they are ready to go


That's a lot of firepower


Getting Gettysburg vibes here
 
Seven more units done for Lee's collection, taking him to 12.
Some of these even travelled to Switzerland to be worked on!
I do apologise about the lack of diaeresis over some of the letters.

Starting with two more infantry units.
Narke Varmland




I've since sorted the bottom of that flag


Off they go


Dal, being berated by a Narke Varmland officer.


And I've straightened that pike!


Ready for action


Quite an impressive bunch


Brigaded together


Top view


You thought that was a decent amount of figures and units?
100 Swedish cavalry


Sources say the Swedes rode with their knees behind each other, so you get a tightly packed wedge.


Vasterbotten




Sodra Skanska




It's a good line


Player's eye view


Even works in two lines, just!


Ostgota


Twenty figures per unit over four bases gives quite the impression of BIG units. I love 10mm!


Charge? You had to ask?


Abo Och Bjorneborgs


Big boys
 
 
Forgot the Leivregementet Til Hast, gaurds cavalry regt!   :o




 First off, five tricorned infantry units, all based for ReG, MeG's renaissance spin-off for Lee.

Sodermanland


Mixing Pendraken mk I and mkII flags, thanks Leon for sorting those


Top view


Back view


Told you they were Sodermanland! I labelled all the bases as although the units are ROUGHLY similar, they all have subtle differences (hat piping, leg colours, etc)


Kronoberg


Top view, grenadiers are from the Pendraken Marlburian ranges


"What do you mean about face?"


Fresh off the blocks today, Upplanders


Eight loose shot, ten close pike for the visual effects.


I like the effect here


I'm not sure all units had grenadiers attached, certainly some were consolidated to assault parties. Lee decided he wanted them intergrated into units, so I enjoyed trying to find their mitre details, Uppland is one I definitely found and is correct.


The line fires.


Player's eye view


Skaraborg


I really love their flags, very eye catching (mk 2, type II)


Again, as Lee sees them


Livgardet Tu Fot (oneof the world's longest active units)


Firing line detail


Pikes detail


How did that get there! Since removed


All five units


That's an A5 container filled already!

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...

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   Here comes the couragous WWI fighter ace in his Sopwith Camel. Hunting The Red Baron on the Dawn Patrol. Bit bigger than 25mm scale, but he will provide top cover for my Kindred WWI stuff. Yes, you have seen the flight stand before on my epic stuff. He's going so fast, the camera can't focus! "Curse you Red Baron!"   Two more Highlanders from the 80s, thanks to Brian up the road. Armed with two bottles or a sword, who is harder? More plaid Well hard! Top view   A chaos warrior It was free, and I've given it to a mate who runs a chaos armym=, hence th elack of basing as he will do it to his own style. Big chopp...
