“They said pret-a-porter will
kill your name, and it saved me...”
~Pierre Cardin
I've finished up three units for one of my Kickstarter
backers: a Prince. His highness was kind
enough to let me test the mettle of his troops in the Kublacon Campaign of
2013, and before they get shipped out, I took some shots to catalogue them. The uniform colors for the infantry are based
off of an 1808 French design, and the cavalry are inspired by the Berg line cavalry
regiment.
I've started some officers and a battery of guns to match
the theme, but they are not yet camera ready.
Grenadiers stand proud |
Line troops. Note the drummer |
Inspired by the white uniforms and thinking what would Austria do I converged these units into one very large unit during the battle. |
Jaunty!I am really quite happy as to how these lads came out. |
Variations on an Officer
Same model, wide variety |
Lest we forget these are "flattish" |
Battle Report: Siege in the Hallway
Captain G. surveys the effectiveness of the defenses |
Captain Fossling aims |
Each commander was to have a pile of blocks, a battery of 2
guns, a standard unit, some officers, and 2 minutes on an egg timer to set up a
defensive position. The pictures are a
bit blurry, as, well ... you try to get 6 year old boys bent on destruction to hold
still.
A magnificent brigade!
ReplyDeleteI used to play a very similar game in my hallway as a youth, featuring Dalex models, made out of lego, and a catapult from a Major Matt Mason toy set. Great fun...
Cheers, Simon
Great looking figures with fantastic colors!!
ReplyDeletePhil.
I'm continually amazed at how a change of colors and a few details can make the figures look so different! BRAVO! -d.
ReplyDeleteBig Red- I haven't invented any new game play, just formalized it a bit. I love the Dalek spin!
ReplyDeletePhil,Darrell- thanks very much. I really do enjoy painting them.
Cheers
