15mm Fantasy

Additions to my 15mm Fantasy collection, these are figures that have sat on the shelf for a few years and I have finally decided to bring them in form the cold.  
Xyston Gallic Gestati, naked fanatics....so what better than these to represent my Barbarian fanatics/beserkers!!


Now if I play Kings of War with these guys they could be like this, 2 bases to a 'regiment' or I could use them 4 bases to a 'horde'....I could even use the lot as one big 'legion' now that option could be fun!  Just imagine all 8 bases in the centre of the Barbarian line just waiting to crash into the enemy's prize troops!!!



As you can see, naked, dirty and covered in blue 'woade' to ward off the enemy's blades!  Just fine fanatics!

Below is a repost of how I'm going to represent 'Large Cavalry'...there will be 3 of these brutes on a base representing a regiment...I think they will be suitably intimidating!  Well I plan on 4 regiments! lol



10mm Seven Years War

Just two units to show this time, both representing the Reichsarmee.  When I mentioned that I was painting these troops on the Seven Years War Wargaming Facebook page, people laughed as they die really easily in almost every set of rules....but I just like them! lol


Combined Grenadiers of Infantry Regiments Kumainz(Green) and Kurkoln(Red)


Swabian Infantry Regiment Alt-Wurttemburg...now I have taken license here as I found two different descriptions of their headdress, and as I ave figures in Prussian Mitre hats I went for that inturpritation!

10mm Seven Years War

My latest project, yes I know I have still not finished so many others, what can I say I'm easily distracted.....
But Seven Years War...starting with the Austrians, why?  Because I bough a couple of job lots cheap and I thought why not!
For inspiration and uniform guides I have followed a couple of great blogs and a very good wiki page..

and
www.nigbilpainter.blogspot.com
Both web pages are very good fonts of knowledge!



The progress so far, 5 cavalry regiments, 5 infantry battalions, 4 combined grenadier battalion, 1 grenze battalion and 3 6pdr guns and limbers...there are 2 units of Reichsarmee also.

All the figures are from Pendraken and I can not recommend the miniatures nor the service highly enough!

There is much more to come as this is about 1/3rd of the lead mountain I have!
