Swedish Work Bench

Hi, so I travel to Krakow in a couple of days and have a GNW game when I return, the basing department is house and dog sitting and I hope to have quite a bit to share with you when I get back.


Currently on the basing table there are Foot Cossacks, Swedish Guard Grenadiers, 2 units of Swedish Dragoons, Polish Winged Hussars, Polish Pancerni and some camels (Not for GNW you will pleased to note) so lot to share over the coming weeks.


Prior to leaving I have managed to add some more to the basing departments workload, finishing off some more Swedes.


Firstly the Guard Grenadiers, you may remember that the command base for these is already finished and based, these are a really characterful unit and I really look forward to seeing them finished on the table.
 I then have a second unit of Guard Dragoons, this first figure is actually the officer with a minor conversion, cutting his swrod away and drillignt he hand to take a standard. I think he has come out quite well.
 The full unit then also has a figure that was designed as King Charles waving them forward. I had intended that this figure would be my army commander but when I had finished him he looked far too old for the warrior king so I demoted him to Colonel of Dragoons.

.So that is it before I go. I may have  a post with pictures from the museums in Krakow next time, or alternatively an AAR of the next game. Thank you for reading, see you soon.
