Title: War of the Triple Alliance Argentinians (Argentinian Cavalry added)
Post by: BaronVonJ on July 16, 2020, 03:42:06 PM
Inspired by the basing in the Retreat from Moscow game here on the LAF I painted up and based the first of my Argentinians for the War of the Triple Alliance.

Well painted.
May I ask the size of the bases you mounted them on?

Beautiful work! What rules will you use them with?
Title: Re: War of the Triple Alliance Argentinians
Post by: BaronVonJ on July 19, 2020, 04:36:03 PM
60mm base. I can use them for a variety rules: Black Powder, Rebels and Patriots, but will most likely use my own Fistful of Lead Bigger Battles.

I'm no psychic but I'm guessing Black Powder, Rebels and Patriots, and FfoL Bigger Battles.

He's using a variety of rules:


Not really sure how he could make it any easier to understand.

  • Black Powder

  • but most likely he's going to use his own Fistful of Lead Bigger Battles.

Not really sure how he could make it any easier to understand.

Cheers for that. I've never tried A Fistful of Lead Bigger Battles but I have seen the mechanism for activating units used in conjunction with Lion Rampant. It worked really well.  8)

Really cool to see those painted up, especially so nicely and based in such a dynamic way!

They (the Perrys_ sound like they have more in the pipeline. Just hoping they don't get distracted by the Franco-Prussian War. I'm ordering cavalry next.

Yeah that happen's sometimes.Like Gringo 40's was going like gangbusters on his Tonkin range and was excited about doing a Dahomey/Madagascar follow up range but then got into a modern Vietnam range that you can tell he's super cool about.He's a one man show so he can only do so much at a time.

Everyone loves Paraguayans because you can paint them in half the time. No crazy amounts of piping. Although the stripes on their Shakos are a pain.  However, I read they were painted on, so I don’t feel terrible how they turned out. But, I’ll need hordes of them. I might use some old Rebel ACW officers to mix in for variety.

Superb looking units, painting suits them and the conflict in my mind, basing superb but then I loved your source and favour such basing myself these days.  Cannot wait to see the cavalry so will keep this thread on the favourite loop!

Great work, long may it continue.

Post by: Atheling on September 15, 2020, 01:52:43 PM
They look the business BaronVonJ  :-*

A very attractive range indeed from the Perry's and one that it took a great deal of steadfast self control not to succumb to.

On a par with their First Carlist War range for allure  :)

Both ranges would benefit from your lazy daub approach to painting so get an order in, must have almost finished the Sudan distraction. 😉😂

I'm really enjoying this thread. The uniforms are at once colourful and ad hoc.

BTW, have you thought about including some of the new casualty packs into the bases?

Right now, the only casualties are Brazilian. When they finally get the ones I want, They’ll be on their bases.
