28mm Perry Plastics Franco-Prussian War French

 28mm French for FPW Sharp Practise, figures by Perry, unit bases by Products for Wargames, as seen in action here.

 
Chasseurs a Pied and the five extra figures from the orignal set that I had not got round to.
Including a bugler and a sergeant with pretensions of officer classes.

Tried to get the kepi right


Not quite enough for the line to make an extra unit, but skirmishers are sixes in Sharp Practice, so two groups of those please.


Back view


And fire!
 
Leadership bases from Sabotag3d, fits 25mm nicely.


Might have to buy pack 2 (7-12) if this project gains any traction at the club!
You may refer to me as: Lord Speedy of Leighton.

First three groups of eight


I was going to prettify the unit bases, but looking at them, I like the unbased effect!


My view


Column right?


In column left


Fouth unit and fifth units


Really liked these to paint, building however?


Fire!


Slight change to normal Sharp Practise - Age of Rifles uses 'Extended line' from 'Flexible drill' rule.


The rest without unit bases (next month's purchase)

Advance


Off we go


They're on the right now!


Characters/heroes


Leaders leading




Everyone point at the enemy


Loins led by...


Casulty bases for Sharp Practise 'Shock' markers, the space between the legs is perfect for a Pendraken 7mm die!


Hopefully, they never get higher than 1 shock?  ;D

Frostgrave Warband; an orc!

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!    Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on     Mimic from Bad Squiddo Grib...

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...
