15mm French Allies Infantry

I finished these figures on Christmas day.  Here we have John's French allies, a regiment each of Saxons and Poles.


Saxon Infantry Regiment Prinz Anton





Polish 2nd Infantry Regiment





 

These were the final two units for John's French army.  It is complete!  I will try to get some photos of the whole army before the new year.  Then it is time to tackle John's Anglo-Allied army, an equally large task!

15mm French Line Infantry

These 252 French line infantry are ready for John's army!  All figures are an the Bardin uniform.  I always lavish a bit of extra care on French line infantry because they will appear on every single battlefield.  I make sure to include all the piping, two tone facings, and so on.  This is the best I can paint.



This force has six battalions of 42 figures each.  These images may get repetitive, but you should be able to get a good look at every single figure.  As always with AB Miniatures, some of the bayonets needed a reinforcing drop of epoxy.

























All that remains for John's French army: a battalion each of Poles and Saxons.

Dark Age Vikings

My daughters and I have continued to work on our Dark Age project.  This ship's crew of Vikings will make a fitting opponent for our Saxons!



12 Archers



25 Warriors



12 Hearthguard and Skipper





Entire Ship's Crew

 

Most of the figures are from Black Tree Design, but a few are Wargames Foundry.  Next we will add some suitable buildings.

28mm Back of Beyond

In the absence of my regular gaming group, my kids and I have been gaming together. We are painting figures for a pulp campaign, long on story and short on tactics.

My daughters and I have fielded these eight adventurers from Copplestone Castings. They block painted and applied Minwax Polyshades "Tudor."



 I see some colorful escapades in our future!
