The first unit finished is this Saxon Field Gun and Crew from Ebor Miniatures. I will probably only use 4 of the crew for this gun and add an officer to the other two to man a smaller gun I have. Being a tight Yorkshireman I do like to make best use of my gunners.
I have also finished a few more Saxons, I have eight of this unit complete, as you can see I am adding a number of floppy hats to the tricornes for these fellows. The Saxons kept the older style floppy hats longer than many countries and I think it likely that tricornes lost their three corners on campaign anyway so this unit will have a mix.
I then have enough Swedes to complete my next regiment Kronoberg. Firstly the three Pike each with separate heads.
Many thanks to wargaming chum Steve Shann for putting all the base coats on these Swedes as a favour, along with the basing department this allows me to use my limited time to best effect. Steve is a full time figure painter, if you are looking for someone to paint your figures you could do a lot worse.
That's it again for now. Cavalry to follow then hopefully we can see the above Swedes based and ready taking me to six battalions. Surely that will be time for a formal parade!!
Many superb figures on your painting desk. Look forward to seeing them based.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jonathan, probably be about 2 weeks before these ones are based and on the blog, basing department back at Uni for a week now.
ReplyDeleteThese figures are awesome, splendid job!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate it Phil thank you. Post on Swedish Cavalry to follow and I might do an AAR on the Arthurian game on Sunday as something different.
