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.
2016 Pendraken Painting Competion P
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

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.

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...
