Sharpe´s Gun

 It´s been a while, but I of course I´ve painted more 40mm French. First the magnificent Perry Cannon, Resin miniatures and absolutly fantastic to paint, but a bit fiddly to assemble. It´s finished, sorry for the crappy pics. The gun will be the objective in our TACTICA participation game.

 A Sappeur to guard the cannon. He will get a melee bonus, cause he´s tall and strong and has this nasty huge axe. My favourite miniature of the range so far.

More 40mm stuff for Tactica 2013

 

TACTICA gets closer so I painted only 40mm stuff over X-Mas.  I will run a participation game (I already told you didn´t I?) with my mate Björn, and there are 11 Minis left on my Workbench, and two month to go. But I´ve always performed well under pressure so I don´t worry. First a french Arti NCO, one of the latest addition for Perry-Miniatures Peninsular range, made of finecast (has to be finecast cause the prize rose from 3,50 to 4,50 GBP). But it´s a damn fine sculpt. He commands the 4 man crew of the gun you see below, I will mount them on a large multibase with the gun. The cannon will be our objective in the game.

 

And another guerrillero, a conversion of a french Voltigeur this time because the Perrys only have 3 different ones in their range.

 

 Last but not least a quick shot of the NCO (can anyone please explain to me in which way a Non-Commissioned-Officer differs from an Officer?) with a House I built 4 years ago for my 28mm SCW collection. Suits well I think.

I wish all of you a nice party tonight, "Guten Rutsch", and a happy new year.

Hooked on 40mm

I like this scale now. A british Light Infantry man painted by Tilman and a Spaniard I painted last night.

More French...

...this time with a wounded Voltigeur paintde by my mate Tilman from conquering the lead mountain . He was at my place this weekend for some painting, some beer and a SAGA game. I love his style, and think it fits perfectly for this éavy Metal. He also told me some details of the uniforms and the equipment, cause I´m a bit lazy when it comes to doing research. Basing done by myself.

Finally I managed to take a good pic of my french officer..

French Voltigeurs in 40mm

Some older stuff that some might have seen in the last LPL. The Colonel and some Voltigeurs. The monk was the first 40mm fig I ever painted. 

40mm for a change

After painting so much Germans, what I really enjoyed, it´s time for a change. As promised I painted up some 40mm Perry Peninsular stuff. A Lippe-Detmold Officer checking his watch and a guerillero. They will appear on the TACTICA in 2013 where I will run a participation game with my mate Björn, the author of my favourite ruleset "Triumph &Tragedy". That´s really cool because back in 2009 I ran my first game at TACTICA with him, SCW using his own rules. There are some more Frenchies and Guerrilleros to paint, so stay tuned.

Cheers

40 mm Frenchies

Some 40 mm French, my first approach in this scale. I really liked painting them, and the miniatures work well with my 28mm SCW terrain (well some houses are a bit big for 28 anyway). I´ll use them for a secret project, so don´t ask!
