6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Last set of this commission 'With A Cast Of Thousands'
It includes, at the front:
'The Lone Ranger', 'Tonto', 'Dando' - the most famous rider and an other Pony Express rider. It also has two sets of scouts, one natives, one volunteers. Plus a bunch of wagons - including Teh Gun Runners wagon - which looks a lot like a M3 Stuart!


Top view, used a couple of spare cows as strays.


Spare baggage was used as an objective pile.


While one of the wagoneers does have a pretty floral bonnet!
 
 It's been an age

Anyway, US Infantry set
Two columns of infantry marching, and three strips of skirmishers

Sneaking up on the cavalry

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

Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them!
72 in the first three bases of 24s.


Top view, had fun posing one stand at least


The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24.


Back view


Not the crisp view I was after, but you get the idea.


40 in five lots of 8s




Allowing for flexibility.

Twos, twelve of - standard size of US troopers, useful as small change for locals!

Damn, missed one! And one broke off his base, so he's Hollywood loss (insert Wilheim scream here).

33 ones (two were joined together and counted in the twos.

Almost a whole A4 of riders.

Warhammer 40000 Sisters of Battle build and paint project

I have not played 40k since the mid 00's, but a couple of months ago I really enjoyed a game of Combat Patrol (40k light with fixed forces). It would have been easy to go Nids (which I have played in campaigns) or Marines, or revert to Tau or Grey Knights, my two previous forces, but I decided to try something different. Very different. Which has been tempting me for a while and always fascinated me as a design concept. Sisters of Battle or Adeptus Soritas. Nuns with guns. Utter loony loyalists with religous fervour, armour, guns, iconography and fanatical devotion to The Pope The Emperor! So, over the next (insert indeterminate) period of time, I will be building, painting and posting about the Adeptus Soritas Combat Patrol.    Soritas Unit Sisters of Battle Research 7/10, Build 6/10, Paint 8/10,  Fun 9/10 I stayed away from the GW suggested red and black scheme, and went with something more fun, purple and gold. A lot ...

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...
