15mm Napoleonic French

I had to paint some more French Guard Cavalry and some Carabiniers for our recent Waterloo club game. Using Piquet Field of Battle rules a unit is only 4 bases, so only 8 figures per unit, this is a nice change from General de Brigade which I used to use which requires about 24 figure cavalry units!
All these figures are Fantassin ( WarModelling ) which are large 15mms about the same size as AB's.

Perry Plastic French Fusiliers

I was recently sent a couple of Perry Plastic Napoleonic French figures to paint. I must admit that I have not looked twice at these figures since they were released, me being a lead snob! I am converted now, they are beautiful figures, a delight to paint and I must have!!

ECW Command and Dragoons

All these figures are from Bicorne Miniatures. Possibly the nicest ECW figures I've painted but not sure about William Waller's huge head!

Iraqi Republican Guard

Back to 20mm Moderns. This time R H (Liberation Miniatures) with S and S Models Vehicles. I'll have to get a Shilka to go with my Russians, love that model. Painted the IRG in a mix of green and camo uniforms from photos on the web. The lads on the Guild commented that they didn't have moustashes ( quite right!) so I had to tash and 5 O'clock shadow them up. Loads more pics on Flickr link.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, off to war we go!

G at the club wanted me to paint some of his Slaughterloo figures, Dwarfs pretending to be Bavarians! I like these figures, I have Elves ( French), Orcs (British) Gnomes ( Portuguese), Toads ( Italians) and some Dwarfs of my own. The concept of the game is wonderful ( fantasy Napoleonics) but I find the rules too slow if using more than half a dozen units per side. May try playing with Piquet Field of Battle instead!

Winter Germans

This was the second part of the latest commision, again Artizan though may be others mixed in...not too sure! I was happy with the Field Grey here, colours were ( from dark to light ),
