Looks great, Forbes.

Cheers - Phil

Ta Chaps.

Paul, it's probably my quick explanations, in the second photo the black and red Knights, where about to by-pass the village and attack the bowmen at the top of the picture. It was the mass of infantry around the hill to the left who where about to take the village.

The first photo shows the other flank, slightly earlier in the game.

Nice, Forbes

Squats - aka bright green space dwarves  

Got some lots of basing done on these guys over the weekend



Group shot of the army so far - close ups to follow

I have lots more of these chaps to finish off - I got a lot painted off eBay, but need to move them from their predominately blue scheme to mine with more grey and green.

Iron Eagle Gyrocopters


Thudd Guns


Tarantula sentry guns and Robots


The main things left to paint are commanders and the war engines; the Land Trains and the Colossus, plus more infantry. But this looks a pretty playable force to be getting on with

I've got a load of them but not half as good looking as those. Nice lookinig chaps.

Very nice again, Forbes ! 

Cheers - Phil

Thanks.

Mick, I hadn't realised you were into Fantasy / SciFi stuff, I had you down as a sensible historical gamer 

Superb Forbes!

Been a bit poorly this week, so no painting until today     and even missed gaming on Friday night 

So with proper butterfly ability I've switched from Sci Fi to Pike and Shotte!

Had a rummage through the big box of LoA figures, sorted them into Baroque units, worked out a few more things that need buying (of course!!). And got a unit of foot and one of horse sprayed.

I have made good progress on the foot this evening:



William's Garde te Voet - I've gone fairly strong orange on the facings, there seems to be no great agreement on what shade they should be from yellow, through orange to red. But as he is Prince of Orange, the choice seems pretty simple to me!!

I've already got a handful of these chaps painted from a couple of years ago, so I unbased them - which turned out to be very easy, as I'd used wood filler, that loosen easily in some water.  They are going to be big units with 3 x 40x40mm bases, with around 50 figures in total. 

Faces, wood work and buff leather to do next

Very nice, Forbes.

Those are going to look dead zippy.
Trust you're feeling lots better.

Cheers - Phil

Nice one Forbes!

Yes thanks, nothing serious just felt very rubbish for a few days.


I've been doing some more research on LoA era units, and I think I might be over doing the pikes a bit. I've gone for 1 base of pikes to 2 bases of muskets. Which seems to be the typical ratio for ECW, but by the 1690s the ratio seems to have dropped to 1:3 or even 1:5, with a few notable units dropping pikes entirely.

So I may need to add a few more musketeers to the central stand and drop the number of pikemen. Which is a pain as I sorted out figures into units yesterday 

Garde te Voet



Lot more work on these guys today, all the colours filled in, with a second pass to get the gaps - the biggest pain with white base coat. Highlights added to blue, orange, and flesh.

Thinking about adding a brown wash - might try to just add this to the non-blue areas - then I think these guys are pretty much there, maybe a bit of gold on the officers. Apparently hats and uniforms were fairly plain, so the troopers should be OK as is.

Next up a Jacobite cavalry regiment.
