Really excellent, Pixie! I really like the dapple greys and the Piedmontese infantry with the anti-tank rifle*


* OK its not an ATR but a standard bearer, but I liked my first take on it.

Looking very nice, Nathan.  :)

Cheers chaps!

Bill, it's a pole charge for dealing with Austrian armour ;) I converted them then ofc bought an army pack with real standard bearers!

The " dapple greys" are a thin bodge of white over a black undercoat, so it's not quite patchy but comes up as grey-white-ish. I could have painted them from the period  photos in black and white but I'm fairly certain the c19th was actually in colour in real life :D

They are outstanding and they are all mine!!!!

Nathan excelled himself on this commission - Spahis, Chasseurs d Afrique, Foreign Legion and Line Infantry - all beautifully painted

Whilst basing them up I realised that the troops are for the July Monarchy / 2nd Republic period when Eagles were not a la mode so I had to snip them  from the flag poles

I spent seconds, literally seconds dry brushing those eagles! I feel hurt and betrayed, Alan :D

Thanks for the kind words :)

Are you still OK to swap camels for money and Prussians at WMMS?

Barring Mrs Pixie suddenly having a crisis I shall be at WMMS for sure. I hope so, I'm picking up a pack of figures from Leon and swapping you camels!

Inspired by a few nice 28mm's recently, here's some newly uploaded photo's from a commission earlier this year - Otherworlde Kobolds, lovely little figures, bags and bags of character!

With a teaser for those who don't want to click through for Faceache ;)




I must bag a couple of shots of the current Colonial Sudan and Vietnam GI's as well as the WSS French cavalry I got at WMMS and finished record quick but  time is... fleeting... may have a Twilight of the Sun King game in a couple of weeks so will see then if I remember to take piccies!

Blimey Andy, that was a quick reply :D

They're cracking little mini's, bag full of character. Some commission's you post off and think "job done", others have a tendency to keep flicking through websites afterwards thinking "weeeeeell, I could always paint 'em and stick 'em on ebay, and if they don't go..." ;)

Frighteningly elegant fellows, nicely done. They remind me of the nest of red ants around back.

Bill, if your ants have spears and shields you're doomed :D

They might - don't get close enough to tell - particularly once the ritual chanting starts.
