10mm Great Northern War Swedish forces for a friend.

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


Charge!


Top view


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!

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...
