Just got around to sorting out a few more photos of the day. Great fun had by all and went in line with history. British, Hessen Kassel, and Danish foot holding up the right flank whilst transfering most of their cavalry to the left flank. This gave them an impressive 2 to 1 superiority over the Fre...

Hi. Have not put anything on here for a while but I have been busy. First off I will start with my first base of Saxons, these are the plastic Gripping Beast models. As you can see they have been mounted on pennies so can be used for a multitude of rules sets. They have been based on these as I inte...

Sorted things out now (including how to download photos from my phone) So just a few photos giving the overall game. http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll319/Darkman8117/WP_000025.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll319/Darkman8117/WP_000027.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll319/Darkman8...

Off the top of my head I think the French are GMB, the Danish are from Maverick Models, the Irish are Warflag, The Bavarians I don't know and others are to be found on the internet. Anything specific? I will try to sort out my photos this weekend. Suffering from shell shock at the moment from having...

So you’re sat at home bit of a cold (man flu) or recovering from something and you think you do with just one more project. Well I have been madly painting for the last 6 weeks a large number of Front Rank WSS cavalry (72 out of 90) and Foot and Guns (48 out of 90 infantry and 2 guns) for a large ga...

Quick question, which is the best way to model Danes wearing Cuirass.

Under or over the coat?

Thanks

Hi thanks all for the comments. Hope fully later in the year we will be putting on a bigger game with more battalions and squadrons. jezamonos, if you would like to see some pictures of regiments have a look on the Painting Pallet under my user name, or look for Bob Lorton or hautpol. Hope that helps

Just a few pictures from our WSS game today. The allies were out numbered so had to go on the defensive to start with. French/Bavarians 22 Battalions 38 Squadrons. Allies 13 Battalions, 25 Squadrons. http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll319/Darkman8117/100_1388.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums...

Just a quick picture of my first home made Zulu hut. All for a £1



And the project with the finished married regiment

Hi I use a white undercoat, and try not to go over the bits I need to be white. I do tend to use white as an undercoat for anything I use for dipping unless there is a colour spray I can use as an undercoat. Some of the people on the Warlord forum suggest using Army Painter Leather Brown spray then ...

Ok not quite thousands, just a couple of boxes. Played a game of Black Powder the other week as a friend of mine discovered he had 3 file boxes of Zulus and a couple of boxes of British. It was an enjoyable game even though I umpired. So looking through ebay I noticed that there was a couple of boxe...

Quick bit of help please, what would be the colour of the Danish officers sashes. I have seen yellow on a couple of units but also orange.

Thanks

Whilst painting various projects I have had some vikings on the go. You know that time when you squirt to much paint from the tube and you still have some left when finished. Well I have some sticks with vikings on at the back of the table on to which a dab a bit here and there. After a while it onl...

So what motivates you in to painting an army then? I am not talking about adding more to the lead mountain, but actually sitting down and painting. A couple of us were having a discussion the other day as I had a Renegade Republican Army I bought in January 2010. But I needed a reason to paint it. I...

I posted this in another topic but thought that it would be better of with its own topic. Although not something I am working on I feel that it would be of benefit for people to see. Nothing to do with me but in the gallery section there are some great ideas especially the smoke and flames. http://w...
