Believe me mate after converting sixty 10mm figures I was well twitchy. Please some manufacturer reading this bring out French 10mm dismounted Dragoons and save some other poor sod having to go through the purgatory of having to do this!
I'm not bitter

Please feel free to have a look at the report of the imaginary battle of Austand using Black Powder rules on my blogg http://thenorthumbrianwargamer.blogspot.com/

Thank you gentlemen, Simon I would dearly love to do the whole orbat for Blenheim but even at 10mm I may go off my head with sixty figures per Battalion :cry: At the moment I'm concentrating on Cutt's attack and the limited cavalry actions of the first period of the battle. Ray, thanks for the info,...
Another two battalions added, this time French 1st and 2nd Battalion Languedoc from the reserve behind Blenhiem village. There is a small guide to how they were painted on my blog http://thenorthumbrianwargamer.blogspot.com/ I'm not at all trying to tell anyone how to suck eggs but someone asked me ...
I've got to say this is very interesting, one of the things I have noticed is how well the Dk blue colour of the uniform has been preserved. This could be because it may have been so well looked after in the museum, plus if the young man was only nineteen when he died then possibly the uniform was f...
My signature derives from the fact that I did use to be a sheep farmer. As you may imagine this was and continues to be a constant source of amusement to the various members of the Border Reivers club :lol: But don't give it out if you can't take it...... I feel a batch of double entandres coming on...
Thanks Ray, As to uniform and flag sources, I have access to all of August Kuhn's plates, unfortunately getting them is like finding rocky horse poo. Also I obtained (Heft 16) Hessen-Kassel 1701 - 1714 by Claus-Peter Goldberg & Jean Belaubre copyright 1995. My son speaks fluent German, I'm a Northum...
Sorry Barry, don't know why it didn't work, there have been comments put on there by others. Please give it another go if you get the time, as I said, a computer expert I'm not

Yeh my first go at a blog. For a Luddite like me it's a step into the unknown so if you have a look please be gentle :) Some of the pictures you may have seen on here, but if I keep plugging away at it new ones will appear. If you do then thanks for looking. http://thenorthumbrianwargamer.blogspot.c...
Gentlemen, just a progress report regarding my 10mm WSS collection. The latest editions are: French dismounted dragoons, Rohan Chabot: (Pendraken figs). http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz254/sheepman1/RohanChabot001.jpg http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz254/sheepman1/10mm%20Malborough/RohanCha...
Not a problem Ray, the more the better. Unfortunately Arthur I had already painted and based Vasse's Dragoons in green jackets and yellow facings, but what's done is done :( Have a look on my other thread under the 'what are you painting' section' for 10mm WSS. I'll soon be adding those dragoon Rgts...
