Wip Wednesday - chevau leger lancier

 Chevau leger lancier WIP

Finally after a very busy 6 months I will get a few weeks to complete some projects on my desk. First two are cavalry projects for my French Napoleonic army. The first project will my last Lancer regiment for 1812-15. I am planing the 8th lanciers using Warlord figures. Commenced the horses this week. Should be done by the weekend hopefully.

Chasseur Ardennais

 

 Chassuers Ardennais 1st Regiment 

Completed four more rifle companies of FAA and Blitz/Battlefield and Early War miniatures for my First Chassuer Ardennais regiment. These chaps have been awaiting completion since the end of March and as I am going through a completion and clearing of my desk I thought I should get them done 100% including company markings on the rear of the base. Really happy with the results. I still have another battalion to build, however I hope to use FAA for them too, but with the tariffs all over the place. I will need to continue my search online I think for used ones. 

1st company 
Second company 
Third company 
Fourth company 
Light mortar attached to HQ

LMG attached to each company

Battle of Agincourt - Test of Resolve

 Battle of Agincourt - Test of Resolve

David has been on a Wargame holiday with us again this time for 6 nights. David also brought along the third scenario book for the Hundred Years’ War.  As our opener we played Agincourt as our opening game, then we play-tested a number of scenarios that will be in the fourth Scenario book for the Scottish Wars, which will be released later this year I believe. As normal we also visited a number of chateaux, drank lots of wine and had a great week wondering around Brittany and Pays de Loire.

Marshal Marmont

 When we visited the museum at Châtillon-sur-Seine I also visited the Marchal Marmont room of the museum, and later we visited his townhouse (by then my battery was flat) but missed photos. The few I did take are here.
