10mm Franco Prussian War French 1st Corps 1st Division

Started this project in 2013, 10 years later the infantry for 1st Corps are finished. The cavalry and Corps artillery have been despatched, thanks Leon at Pendraken. Will move onto 2nd Division 3rd Corps by about 2034 at this rate!

Anyway...
1st Division, done!


My basing and labelling, originally for Volley and Bayonet, now Corps/divisional scale Black Powder (insert 'if I could do it again I would change...' comments)


Advance!


My view


The details are what takes the time ion a batch this size. Hand painted flags and the backpacks took about a day each!


Support assests from 8th & 9th Cuirassiers from the cavalry division and 99th Infantry from 7th Corps


Allows me to think about running Worth as a battle


One day I will field all the corps I own (French I  now have the Guard, 1st, 2nd, 4th & parts of 5th and 7th)


But I still love FPW!

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...

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

AWI forces for Lee - 10mm Pendraken

Lee asked me to paint up extra forces for his AWI collection so he can also play 'Live Free or Die'. Lee's Hessians done, all figures by Pendraken in 10mm flags by Vaubanner . The column approaches. 1st Combined Grenadier Regt Top view In line Almost wide to deploy in line for my light box! Off they go Looking good Fusilier Regt von Dittfurth From up high Nice looking troops Column advances Just, go that, way! Sarge, we're going round in circles Grenadier Regiment Rall, at ease Thin blue line? The chords really make these figures pop Not sure they actually carried colours, but the pack came with a standard bearer, and after a bit of searching, I found something probable.  Everyone's favourite, the Jagers Blending in, almost Player's eye view The whole batch  British light infantry done and added to Lee's collection. Again, mixed facings as they were consolidated units. Top view Made of firing and advancing plus command figures Qu...
