Langezsalza in 2mm

[Leman]

Okay, cool, thanks.

So they are facing towards the short edge of the base?

Cheers,

Errrr... no. They are facing the camera - three (substitute battalions, companies, double companies) in line, one behind the other. The base is square. Irregular do produce generic road columns in the Horse and Musket range.

Ithoriel, I assume you are going to be fighting in Central America. Looking forward to the photos.

Still remaining within the '2mm' parameters of the thread -just. Has anybody got any pics of the Irregular Renaissance range? In particular the pike and musket blocks. I'm asking because I am wondering if it is possible to cut the muskets away from the pikes to make larger blocks of each type.

Check out http://www.tinytintroops.co.uk/ and http://steelonsand.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/2mm%20Irregular

Tiny Tin Troops has an extensive gallery with many of the figure blocks and almost all of the terrain pieces:

Steel on Sand not only has great pictures, but he often mentions which figures he's used for what.

Cheers!

Sorry, my mistake!! 

It's the foreshortening effect of the camera combined with preconception that fooled me!  Now that you mention it I can see it's a square base, but before that I would have sworn that it was a 40x30 base...

The figures are BG1 - 20 figures in two ranks with flag from the Horse and Musket range. BG39 is the same without the flag. They are supplied in groups of three, so I have used one pack per base. I also have some bases with one line inf base and two skirmish bases to represent a divisional/brigade ability to put out skirmishers. RBG codes are the Renaissance figures - I haven't actually seen RBG 12.

Found a couple of pictures of RBG12:

I like those.

Pics of RBG7 "45 figure 1-2 pike/shot unit (15 pike/30 shot)" on the right and RBG33 "15 figure Pike block" flanked by a pair of RBG12 "3-rank Forlorn Hope - 15 figures" and as you can see it's pretty much the same figures.

I'm adding an RBG33 to the back of RBG7 to give a 60 man (30 pike/ 30 shot) unit for my Spanish Militia. Spanish regulars will be the tercio model and RBG12 will be English sailor units, nominally armed with muskets, pistols, axes, cutlasses and boarding pikes.

Okay, they are... Small!

[Leman]

Certainly are similar figures. I won't want three ranks for 1866 though. Like a lot of Irregular stuff, it looks a bit naff in the raw but paints up really well.

[Fenton]

This site has some good stuff

[Leman]

Yes, a very useful site which allows a view of the figures before purchase. I particularly like the Dragoon figure with dismounted troops and horses all on the same stand. At least some of the Austrian cavalry in 1866 engaged in dismounted action.

Thanks all for the great links. I must now go away and have a think.

At last the Prussian army for Langensalza is complete. Here it is on 1" squares, followed by some closeups, including the completed Saxe-Coburg-Gotha brigade, fusilier skirmish bases, limbered artillery with accompanying wagons and caissons, and the brigade of Landwehr with their black maltese crosses. I am now working on the scenery before moving on to the Hanoverian army. Once this is done I can then move on to other 1866 scenarios.

Very nice indeed

Take care
