Commission Work

Hoi All!

Recently I have picked up another commission concerning Italian Napoleonics. This time I am up against 3 different Italian Artillery sets (Horse, Foot and Guard) and a regiment of the line from the early pre- shako period.

Here are the first pics:

More Napoleonics

Hello everybody!

Yet again a Napoleonic update today. Here you can see my latest updates. For starters here's the first 3 bases of HäT's newest Prussian late war infantry, which I painted to represent the 18th regiment of the line.

Another one of my favourites is these Zvezda Polish Lancers of the Guard.

I intend to paint units of these regiments:
- the Polish Lancers (well obviously)
- The Dutch or Red Lancers
- The 1st regiment Lancers of the Vistula Legion
- The Berg Lancers

Cheers Sander

And now for something else!

Hello Everybody!

Today's update will bring you something different for sure. First I finished one more of the lasses I am painting for my all female Pirate crew for Legends of the High Seas.

Next up is an unit of Cygnar Trenchers for Warmachine. I have had these chaps in the cabinet all coated and based for almost 2 years now and painted them up by and by. Yesterday I finally finished the last 3 of them.

Hope you like them!

Cheers Sander

Some new goodies!

Hoi there People!

Well a lot has been happening over here! I have been on holiday to Rome last week and had a blast. Upon coming back I played a brilliant game of The Great War based on Cambrai 1917 for a really short report and some pics see:

My most recent finished projects are the figures shown below.

The Prussian 10th Regiment of the Line

And my version of Marshall Ney, the figure is an Art Miniaturen metal figure and the eclareur is an Italeri plastic figure

Black Powder

Hoi Folks!

Yesterday me and Jan Willem (Pijlie´s miniature paintings and other creations )played a game of Black Powder and two Great War games. The Black Powder game was my first Napoleonic game. We used my French and Allied divisions to do so. It's save to say I haven't by far enough figures to outfit two entire armies but managed to scrape together two infantry and a cavalry brigade for each of the contenders and the game went ahead.

The time is somewhere between Ligny and Quatre Bras, scattered fictive Prussian forces have ganged up with some Dutch-Belgians and are retreating across a bridge and ford towards the main army. The French are hot on their heals!

Basically the French made very little progress due to bad command rolls while the opposite was true for the Allies. The Prussian brigade was the first to start for the bridge while the cavalry formed up to block the French supported by the Dutch brigade.

The only French unit rolling a 3 move commandroll were the Carabineers and they promptly charged a Belgian Light infantry unit. They themselves were charged in their left flank by Dutch Hussars, broken and routed as a result.

Meanwhile the Prussians started crossing the bridge and the Dutch division sent her regiments across the ford.

The game pretty much ended with all Allied infantry across the bridge and formed up. But not before the French had moved up their infantry and had almost destroyed the Dutch Cavalry be it for the fact that they had to ward off several cavalry charges and form square. The latter really slowed it down and gave the Dutch the chance to whisk away.
