Napoleonic Duchy of Warsaw Lancers

At last after a weeek of being completed here are pictures of my Duchy of Warsaw Lancers. Having based them on the Perry's I will call them the 2nd (front) and 6th (rear) Lancers.

They are based on 3D resin file from Kozak, my biggest issue is the lack of variety in the horses even reversed poses would have helped. The other is the bends in the lances even after straightening, when I reprint some I will make the lances thicker to avoid this.

I am definately struggling to finish painting figures, although I have just completed decorating a room. Also I have started clearing out my old wargames magazines. So I this month I will endeavour to finish as much of my annual plan as possible while working on more decorating.

My working list is

• 2 unts of Napoleonic Duchy of Warsaw Lancers - very close to finishing painting
• Painting the Panzer 38t - part painted but needs stowage
• Some French Revolutionary generals - underway
• 28mm Mexican Gunfighters - started
• Seven Years War Hanoverian Limbers - started
• Various odd figures that are part completed
• Maybe complete a US marine platoon for Nam 68
• Maybe start up the FDM printer over the Christmas break

My next show will be Recon on 6th December with the Lance & Longbow Society

Back to the Wild West - US Cavalry

A temptation at an earlier Wirral Warboot meant that I "invested" in some 28mm US Cavalry figures, It was cheaper than buying the STL files from "3D Breed" and then printing them.

A slight distraction - 6mm to 15mm Conifer Trees

Another distraction or rather the completion of an existing one as I picked up a pile of remaindered Xmas tres from "The Works" at half price. I decided I didn't need snowy trees so put them to one side. Forward to now and they were in the way so I painted them green to hide the white (almost) and based them up. They look good enough for most 6mm (1/300) gamse and at a push 15mm (1/100).

US Army platoon in Vietnam

A complete US Army platoon for Nam 68, the figures are all Orion

There is a 3 man HQ, three ten man squads, three man man M60 MG teams and a single LAW

WSS Troops in action

A first run out for my War of Spanish Succession armies on Saturday down at Beacon Gamers. To balance the forces it was British Dutch and Austrians against French, Bavarian, Hessian and a few Saxons

Rules used were a big battles version of Rebels and Patriots

The forces were somewaht compress as I thought we might be limited for space, but we could have spread out more

As a result the action concentrated on the two cavalry wings

Thanks to Andy and Ian for helping with the play test

Of course as a result I need more troops, but only more dismounted dragoons

WSS Garde Te Voet

The last of my Dutch Infantry for the War of Spanish Succession is the Garde Te Voet
