Russian division 1808

As I have already mentioned in previous posts, I have been working on re-basing my Russians for the 1808 setting. This has included expanding some of the units, so that all line infantry is in 24 man units, and the jäger units of 16. I have now come as far as rebasing all of theContinue reading “Russian division 1808”

Russian progress

I have been working on rebasing my 1808 Russians for way too long. But now everything is at least mounted on the new type of bases and I have applied the Vallejo texture goo, which is the more time consuming part of the process. After that I will drybrush the bases and paint the edges.Continue reading “Russian progress”

Some Russian additions

With little painting time, I have at least finished some additional figures and guns for the Russian army of 1808. I have prepared many more. The primary goal is to be able to field a battery of two guns for each of the three brigades. Two of these will be 6-pounders, the third a 3-pounderContinue reading “Some Russian additions”

Björneborg regiment WIP

I am slowly working towards expanding my figures for the Björneborg regiment. I already had around 12 (now at 30!) painted figures, including one flag. As this is a regiment which featured in many important battles, both large and small, I will be needing many more, at least two battalions. For the additional figures, IContinue reading “Björneborg regiment WIP”

Germans with Panzerfausts

For the first time in a long while Ive come back to the WW2 stuff. This time some Panzerfaust-armed Germans. Until now I have only had two such figures, and my focus was on the earlier stages of the war, before the PF was introduced. However, in order to be able to play the laterContinue reading “Germans with Panzerfausts”

Rebased Russians

Havent posted anything in a while now – our apartement is being renovated and we have been living with relatives for more than a month. No painting! But as I hadnt posted this pic yet I thought I might as well do it. Its the first of two 32-man battalions made from my old WarlordContinue reading “Rebased Russians”

Some refurbished Landwehr

I havent done much in the way of painting lately, mainly due to work and work travel. I did try my hand at some of the older Warlord Games Landwehr, as a friend had some of these lying around. Theres a variation of stuff in various states of disrepair, but much of it can beContinue reading “Some refurbished Landwehr”

Napoleonic Prussian Landwehr

With the new year Im starting a new project. I chose to do Prussians for the Napoleonic period. To a large part I chose them because they seem to be easy to paint en masse and quickly because they have simple, unadorned uniforms. They should be a good choice for speed painting. Another reason forContinue reading “Napoleonic Prussian Landwehr”

Valour & Fortitude rules

I dont often write about rules, because I am not really that kind of gamer. I paint the figures and will be happy whenever there is an opportunity to put them on the table – and I will try any rules set at least once! But precisely for that reason, I tend to like simpleContinue reading “Valour & Fortitude rules”

Three more…

Some more Germans, this time they are the last ones remaining on my desk, so hopefully I will be doing other stuff for a while. These three figures were made from one Foundry figure with a Warlord head, one Perry figure with Warlord head and one Perry figure with its original head still intact. IContinue reading “Three more…”
