Mad Lemmey's Painting Blog

With the Pendraken painting competition underway, two batches of super heavy uber nutters cavalry, all supplementing other units. Blue Winged hussars, awaiting pennants Now with added pennants (thanks Iain at Flags of War  for rescaling his amazing 28mm banners for me, awesome work) Red Hussars with the Royal standard

Painted for the Pendraken painting competition , and to supplement my long neglected AWI forces , Brunswickers, The aim has always been to play Black Powder with these, originally back in 2011, three of us started the project, one emigrated to the US then moved Bristol (Hi Brian), one never got started (Hi John) so after a few fights with Americans on both sides (often supported by Brian's French), I ended up building forces for both sides of Freeman's Farm from the Black Powder rules by Warlord Games . With this next batch, it finishes all the forces needed for Freeman's Farm, only taken 7 years! Grenadier Battalion von Breymann  Note the cords on the mitres helmets, those are sculpted on! Light Infantry Battalion von Barner Middle base is a recycled base, hence the different layout. Friedrich, Baron von Riedesel, The four missing figures! Not sure how they escaped, but they're finished now!!! And some more are now added, still tryin...

Eldritch Vampires are an interesting force in Warband  from Pendraken , a rock hard Vampire general, and then a whole host of dominated masses called Thralls. Not great fighters, but useful while these chaps sneak a flank...  Werewolves. A mixture of Pendraken and the big guys are 15mm Rebel Minis from the States (originally bought for a long defunct WW2 project). Fully tooled up, these guys are 92 points a stand, this will be a small but interesting army! Note to self, need more dice frames! The theme for this army will be wolf based, with these chaps providing a fast, hard punch, brittle, yes, but nasty.  Oh, and here they are in black and white, 'coz all the best horror movies are black and white!      I used to be a werewolf, but I'm alright Nooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww..... I have already done her serine highness (and Fluffy, her hellhound and an Igor), so now just the 'line' troops to sort.
