I purchased the Gringo 40s band from Ged at 2024 Partizan, but only a few figs, I decided while preparing my order for 2025 Partizan to add more band members. I also purchased a full Mameluke Sqaudron to replace my foundry figures.
I have a number of research pics for references for my upcoming band project, so I thought I would post them before embarking on my painting project. I undercoated the figures yesterday and hopefully will get some paint on them by next week.

This year I was a little reserved on purchases as I had a lot of pre purchases awaiting me.
First up Gringo 40 Mameluke Sqaudron and some extra band members, as per ITGM 10 wonderful figures by Ged, really lovely sculpts, I am looking forward to getting some paint on them.
Perry Vendee/Chouans another bunch of wonderful Perry sculpted figures, hope to get some paint on them by the end of the year. I also added 4 boxes of 1807 line, metal command, 2 boxes of hussars, a box of British line and metal command.
From Gripping Beast/Calpe a regiment of 18 Prussian Landwehr cavalry to add to my Prussians
In 20mm Early War Minuatures Belgian infantry, support vehicles and light tanks. For my 21st Panzer some bren carriers with nebel Werfer. The infantry will allow me to complete my Belgian infantry and armour project, the German bits are for my 21st Panzer build coming up next year.
I could not resist two bloodbowl teams Goblins and Halflings for 15£ from the bring and buy, I nearly bought them retail two days previously when I visited GW for 23£ each.
Bits, as always a few loose ancients and sci fi pieces ….. but I did forget to buy bases from Warbases ….

Underway with the painting of my band, a lot more to go on the 12 figures. The miniatures are from Gringo 40s, Another week at least before they get to wash stage.

Settling back into the painting desk this week before I need to move it to a new location on the weekend completing lots of WIP and preparing projects for the Summer push.
First up, I promised Ged at Gringo 40s I would paint his French Guard Mameluke band for display in the next few months, so I thought I had best get cracking.
First up some research pics to help with motivation, for tunics, kettle drum, drummers, jingling jonnies and trumpets etc, really for my quick reference! Wip progress photos tomorrow as I started last night!
Cheers
Matt
