Title: 28mm C17th/C18th ImagiNation skirmish (Lace Hulk, Devilry Afoot etc)
Post by: Count Belisarius on October 19, 2024, 05:46:19 PM: Not been painting much of late but the prospect of Ayton always instils a little mojo. As the only thing I need figures for is Simon's (Goat Major) Lace Hulk game - an C18th dungeon game...

I could have just brought along the Altefritzenburg dragoons from last time...

but... a new Ottoman crew seemed a better choice...

And some civilians...

The orange guy is Warfare Miniatures. The rest are Warlord... The lady...unknown and the Nun is Midlam

Nice to have painted something again...

Do tell more about Lace Hulk - not finding much via Google.
Title: Re: 28mm Ottomans for Lace Hulk...
Post by: Count Belisarius on October 27, 2024, 11:18:48 AM: I think Simon (who built the tunnels) is planning various things. Our initial game had four teams starting in each corner and trying to rescue captives, protect their own prisoner, and fight off hordes of cultists and the like. I've got a load of pics somewhere. It's still early days (we don't meet up that often) but other games are planned.

Title: Re: 28mm Ottomans for Lace Hulk...
Post by: ErikB on October 28, 2024, 08:30:28 PM: And maybe Anno 1666 minis would do nicely, as well. They are for that period and come in little factions who would make perfect dungeon crawler parties.

Title: Re: 28mm Ottomans for Lace Hulk...
Post by: ErikB on October 29, 2024, 06:22:20 PM: Someone else sells them, now, I forget who. I'll keep my eyes open.

The sculptor, a really, really nice guy from Germany, was having some heart problems about 10 years ago which were reducing his ability to do business. I hope he's doing alright.

They come in mixed packs but the shop is local to me so I was able to just get figures with caps on.

Post by: Count Belisarius on November 09, 2024, 07:46:49 PM: I've changed the thread title to reflect this being my assorted C17th and C18th skirmish related figures...

Having distracted myself recently with a few armed figures it was time to boost the civilian population of Altefritzenburg. Again...

Ratnik Miniatures also sells civilians for the 18th century, here are some pictures.

Post by: Count Belisarius on November 10, 2024, 12:59:38 PM: That's good to know. I'd be unlikely to buy duplicate sets but I know a lot of people are wanting them.

It's always worth looking at the source prints he used. Just wish he'd been able to add to them.

Lovely work on those civilians. I like the colour schemes that you've chosen.

I was struggling on what colours to use so I just looked at the painted versions on the Foundry website and based them on those.

There's quite a lot of variety. I use a few Midlam as well. They work fine with Foundry and Ratnik. I've got Blue Moon which are tall enough but slender. Minden are slim and smaller. Jackdaw are huge...

But I'm less concerned for civilians. Lots of individuals of all shapes and sizes.

Unlike the random back of 28mm cows I found this evening... No idea why I bought them...

Yeah. The rules are pretty open to different periods. I've got a load of C17th stuff to paint but my head is firmly in the C18th at the moment so that is more likely to get me a game...

Post by: Count Belisarius on January 31, 2025, 11:49:53 AM: I'd had the Minden blacksmith set for years and never got round to it. Then in a batch of civilians I bought last year was one of the lad holding the horse. I couldn't think of an easy use/conversion for the figure and I was determined to paint ALL the civilians I had in that batch. So I thought I'd just paint the blacksmith and use the odd figure. Then I came across a bag of dismounted hussars and they just seemed to fit..

I've got a field forge to do as well...

Post by: Count Belisarius on February 01, 2025, 08:16:48 AM: I was lucky in that all these recent civilians were part of a big batch off ebay so a random selection of makes and part packs. A but frustrating in that when identifying them I looked at the paakcs they were from and really liked some of the other figures. But buying the packs would then give me a lot of duplicates...

But the civilian tally is quite large at the moment so I really don't need more...

Sorry for delay...

The building is from this set: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1161859146/market-town-part-2-28-mm-stl

And was printed for me (in black) by Dawn Prints. https://dawnprints.co.uk/

If you contact via the website she will get back to you. Found her very good and helpful.

My only concern with the buildings was lack of chimneys. So I added my own...

Cheers
