Stargrave - The Brethren

 Another unit for Stargrave that will double for judge dread games also. Quick and easy, I had these done in a day and a bit, the skin tones and basing taking the longest

Napoleonic French légère skirmishers

French Légère skirmishers 

These four skirmisher bases have been part finished I think for 10 years, the command base perhaps longer as I have not painted old glory light infantry since 1997

The were based coated but had not been completed so a tounch up, wash and highlight then based, done in two evenings in between other bits on the desk.

Prussian Kurmark Landwehr Lancers

When Peter sculpted these I knew I had to have a squadron of them for my army. They are lovely figures to paint, have good raised detail and quite simple faces. I have had the horses painted for two months or more, so a little annoyed with myself for not concentrating on the cavalry men for a couple of hours to get them completed. The lances and pennants possibly took longer as I made the incorrect colour first then had to make a second set!

French 76th ligne regiment

I should of posted these two weeks ago, but was too slack to complete the 2 & 3 Porte Aigle pennants and paint the edge of the flag, finally yesterday I needed to clear the painting table for new projects so I competed these along with a unit of cavalry, and 10 skirmisher bases. 

The victrix figures are a poor cousin to the perry figures, the bayonets being quite flimsy, most poses are good though, but again difficult to flesh out a full battalion for general de brigade. I do not think I will buy another box though and will purchase the Perry figures or print some more piano figures. Happy with the paint job though and another addition to the pre 1809 army. This coming month onto more 1813-15 Prussians, 1793-95 Chouans, French guard Mamelukes, French plastic guard infantry 1814 in greatcoats, then some  1813-15 Hanoverians for a big Napoleonic game in October in Brittany.

Finally completed these chaps, they have been sitting around for months part completed, the are lovely figures with lots of detail, I elected to paint them in woodland camo, although in the movie they are wearing a mix of woodland and desert camo. As I had purchased one of the extra extensions I had doubles of a few figures, rather than leave them in the unpainted project boxes I though I would complete them at the same time but carve off the names and add some nicknames of some of the guys I was in the army with. 

Hope to get these guys on the table soon for a game

WIP Wednesday - Colonial Marines

After sitting on my deck for over two months I thought I should crack on and get these fine figures completed. So today while it is cool rainy weather I  managed to get the camo done and ready for the wash stage. I plan to have them completed by the weekend. 

Cheers
