Just an update on the other side of wargaming terrain,


The armies im working on in 15mm are for 1809 northern italy and as such ive been working on terrain as well, it needs to meet two critera, that one looks good and is inline with the battle of sacile and two can be interchangable with a mates collection of terrain, so far as you can see the results are looking good, this is a creek/tributary set up im working on. The 1st near completion is the proof fo concept and the 2nd one is the continuation of the project

The white stuff is the water effects that is slowly setting.

cheers BBC

 

 

 

Well and update at the end of the month the hussars bar basing are finished well the 1st regiment I need is done anyway

This is 2nd frimont and im happy with the result onto the next regiment now only 24 of them not 36 so that should not take as much time.

A work in progress update: been busy of late, and finished 3 batteries of artillery of which two are here, as well as the two grenz battalions.

Currently working on a 36 figure hussar regiment no 2 regiment to be exact so nice light blue uniforms with red shakos to have fun with.

Playing with photo shop and i thought this was a great shot of an artillery battery and cavalry. The figures are from the collection of Jbaxter and Jmarchant.

Cheers BBC

 

An enjoyable game was held this evening at my friends house, french vs prussians with two players aside. Playing the prussians which is a timely change from the sea of white that has confronted me of late.

The success of the evening was a prussian hussar regiment and a battery of artillery that combined, decimated a french cavalry briagde and thus put flight to the franco/bavarian force.


Just a few pics below of the game. Thanks to Jbaxter Cpandy and Jmarchant for a fun and entertaining night with laughs all round and furious dice rolling.

 

 

 

 

Been playing with light and the camera,

anyway this set includes the two new grenz battalion as well as some of favorites from the collection, now heading into painting 3 artillery batteries in one shot then I've set myself up to paint some very nice hussars.


Cheers BBC

 

 

 

 

So another post in quick succession but it’s a bit of an aside from painting, which I can assure it is continuing, 2nd Grenz battalion has the base colours and washes applied tonight so onto faces and highlight colours.

But I digress.

Recently on TMP I read a post about wargaming podcasts. It lead me to two Podcasts one is the Napoleon Podcast, very good though a tad pro French the presenters have a very good style and present the session in a conversation format that is easy to listen to.

The other is Noisemaker, by an American which is a general chat about wargaming, its in its infancy but is a nice listen to and I recommend you try both out.

Anyway back to the painting desk!
