OK, Techno. I can tell you ALL the dollies you should ever need:

• Infantry Advancing- slope arms, Port Arms, Trail arms
• Cavalry - walking/trotting sword or lance(see below)
• Officer/NCO - Pointing, encouraging, looking smug
• Artillery (and only artillery) - kneeling
• Specialist - drummers drumming, buglers bugling, ensign

There you go. If you want to add a bit of variety, you could have advancing (left leg forward) and advancing (right leg forward). That would be useful for irregular armies.





I'm now going to the FSNbunker.

OK, Techno. I can tell you ALL the dollies you should ever need:

• Infantry - Standing firing, kneeling firing, prone firing, firing on the move, dead
• Cavalry - Removing stone from horses hoof, standing by horse waiting for something to do, galloping heroically in the wrong direction. No need for a dead pose because "Whoever saw a dead cavalryman."
• Officer - With map looking lost, Pointing asking are they ours?, Being yelled at by senior officer
• NCO - Pointing looking exasperated, Ducking, looking smug. May be paired with the officer poses above
• Artillery (and only artillery) - Standing firing, kneeling firing, sitting having a cuppa
• Specialist - unit scrounger with some other units boots/ ammo/ weapons, musicians moving a piano to the officers mess, Stand of flags and banners left at base for safety

FIFY

The sad thing is that your list is probably the one that will be used. 

I think I've got most of those.......And a few extras !  ......Though there are no gee-gees in this batch.

Thanks, chaps.

Cheers - Phil.

Finally finished my T-35, which really is a beast of a tank. I went for the Red Star in the end and a slogan on the turret, both really to make the tank stand out a bit, as just in green it was lacking a certain something.

T-28 finished and some British armour additions basecoated and washed.

Modern Soviets nearly based...

Two Churchill 95mm tanks finished, with a Crusader AA tank and an armoured car almost there.

Crusader AA tank and armoured car finished as planned. Might take a paint from vehicles and do some more units for Pikemen's Lament.

Continuing on Pete's Transylvanians in 15mm, but also finished 5 mounted crossbows in 10mm for Graham, and my modern Brits and Soviets (until the next lot appear)!

Both sides have some horse now, and I've nearly finished a fourth unit of infantry for each side too. Also a few more tin kettles for supporting fire. Gettysburg, here we come.

I do know there were no naval contingents at Gettysburg. Regard this as a protest against Trajanic legionaries in the Gallic wars. crusaders fighting Arab armies, black Numidians, grenadiers with colours, Sengoku armies with five figures and a geisha, and ships of the line with pennants streaming out behind them.

57 18mm cavalry done for a friend, 12 Infantry still to do, then back to that oh so nearly finished 10mm Samurai Army, one unit to finish and the camp, which is still half done.

2mm medieval armies for One Hour Wargames finally completed - basing took far longer than painting 

Now moving on to basing random odds'n'sods for the Paint Off, fingers crossed I might even squeeze some new painting in before the end of the month!

Just need to get a camera and some decent light now 

Armies for the War of the Southern Secession are making good time, though I'm waiting for a last parcel of shinies, and realising that A ) I've painted Berdan's sharpshooters too dark; and B ) that I have to have Rush's Lancers, which means I'll need to make lances and pennants soon.

With the current painting challenge, coupled with a desire to paint something none WWII plus getting some units done for pre-Salute practice games, I have re-started painting some more units for 'The Pikemen's Lament'. So this afternoon a unit of Shot got onto the painting table, albeit rather briefly, before being evicted as SWMBO wanted to cook in the kitchen. Painting due to resume for an hour or so this evening.

Yay!

The unit of shot duly finished, but will let everything dry before varnishing tomorrow. I think I may re-highlight the leather work to make it stand out a bit more, but will decide in the morning when my eyes aren't so tired. Nice to be painting again and have a deadline to work to, so thanks Will .

Well done that man

Thanks Paul. Another unit of shot half painted in terms of the main clothing and hats done. Leather work ,guns and faces tomorrow, if time allows. After these are completed, I really need to do some Dragoons, but I hate painting horses! For ease i will make the horses the same colour for each units, just so that they stand out more on the table.
