Ottoman Janissary Hand Gunners



Got these chaps finished and based this afternoon



Was expecting to only get 3 bases out of the figures - but managed to get 4 bases, which is 4 troops for KoW, or 2 Regiments, or a Horde

This gives my Araby army a lot of heavy fire-power on top of the artillery added the other week.

Very nice like the mixed unit approach looks much better than a single coloured unit

take care

Thanks Chaps

For a bit of change of pace, I've cleaned up some Centaurs ready for spraying, should we happen to get a half-decent day over the weekend.



Not that they needed much cleaning up, just a bit of smoothing of the bases really, nice and quick.

So what is the collective noun for Centaurs?

Yes...

I was just looking at them all, and trying to remember how many I thought I was going to put on a base, and how many units I thought I needed. The figures are an army pack and 3 single packs. Which after a quick check on the website should be 35+15, so 50 in total.

How about a clatter of Centaurs?  :-\
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Last night played Kings of War (KoW) - we had 7 players, 3 on the nominally good side (but don't tell the dwarves that the elves where Dark Elves), 3 on the demon/chaos side, and me with a double sized Nature army holding the objective.


This is part of my force at the start of the battle - with a fair few Pendraken figures in view. In the distance can be seen the demon hordes. It was a very fun game - we generally rather forgot the objective (capture the swamp) and just attacked everyone. The Chaos knights ran away from the Dwarves!! The Demons managed to get into the swamp as the clock ran down - although I still had a lot of units left to eject them, they were a bit too far away.

Managed to get some productive painting done today

Empire Pistolliers (thanks to Hertsblue's vote)


These need their bases finishing and can then join a similar unit to give me a regiment for KoW - though I haven't quite decided a unit of what yet...

Then made good progress with my WWI French - they will form the core of the 2nd Regiment
