Title: Somewhere in Spain, 1809 a.d.(Update 11.2.13: French eight pounder)
Post by: Lt. Hazel on July 28, 2012, 10:46:25 PM: After painting so much Germans, what I really enjoyed, it´s time for a change. As promised I painted up some 40mm Perry Peninsular stuff. A Lippe-Detmold Officer checking his watch and a guerillero. They will appear on the TACTICA in 2013 where I will run a participation game with my mate Björn, the author of my favourite ruleset "Triumph &Tragedy". That´s really cool because back in 2009 I ran my first game at TACTICA with him, SCW using his own rules. There are some more Frenchies and Guerrilleros to paint, so stay tuned.

Post by: DonVoss on July 29, 2012, 11:11:05 AM: They really look nice. Can't wait for the Tactica... :D

The volitigeures look good too, but I can't see much on the pic (too small). Can you add a bigger one?

Thanx,
DV

Post by: Belisarius on July 29, 2012, 02:58:02 PM: Thank you for posting my favorite period i.e. the Peninsula War. You have managed to get a terrific amount of character into these figures, the Spaniard in particular looks as if he has spent a lot of time in the field, one question - the guerrilla seems to be wearing a white cockade I wondered why as the Spanish colour was red ? Please d,ont take this as any type of critisism but a genuine inquiry. Having said this I realise the Spanish at this time used anything at hand as their supply system was almost non existent.

Post by: Lt. Hazel on July 29, 2012, 04:00:06 PM: I was to Lazy for doi g much research, but I think you are right. I will fix that, thanks for the Hint. Doc Morris said the Same. Especially when they wear a Lot of rag tag clOthing some identical items for a rudimentary uniform make sense, so I will paint all sashes and cockades red on the spanish.

If you use "Triumph &Tragedy" for your game, I'd be interested any changes and special rules for Napoleonics.

Post by: Emir of Askaristan on July 29, 2012, 07:00:08 PM: Excellent work there. My own hand is not so good I could try 40mm, but these have a gritty character perfect for skirmish games.

I second the comment re the T&T amends.

Don Voss called me today and asked for a comparism shot with some 28mm figs.
Here we got a large 28mm Copplestone, 40 mm Perry and a medium 28 mm Tsuba

Post by: Driscoles on July 30, 2012, 10:16:47 AM: Hi,

great miniatures Hazel.
I will try to photograph the Light Infantry soon. I`ll post it here.

I`l let you know what amendments we will do.

Besides. I highly recommend Hazels Article in WSS about the Troy game. He and Mad Doc Morris had great ideas for adopting T+T rules for the antiquity.

Cheers

Post by: Lt. Hazel on August 01, 2012, 03:29:39 PM: ...this time with a wounded Voltigeur paintde by my mate Mad Doc Morris. He was at my place this weekend for some painting, some beer and a SAGA game. I love his style, and think it fits perfectly for this éavy Metal. He also told me some details of the uniforms and the equipment, cause I´m a bit lazy when it comes to doing research. Basing done by myself.

TACTICA gets closer so I painted only 40mm stuff over X-Mas. I will run a participation game (I already told you didn´t I?) with my mate Björn, and there are 11 Minis left on my Workbench, and two month to go. But I´ve always performed well under pressure so I don´t worry. First a french Arti NCO, one of the latest addition for Perry-Miniatures Peninsular range, made of finecast (has to be finecast cause the prize rose from 3,50 to 4,50 GBP). But it´s a damn fine sculpt. He commands the 4 man crew of the gun you see below, I will mount them on a large multibase with the gun. The cannon will be our objective in the game.

(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s274/snilloc_photos/FrzKanone_zps2fcf8644.jpg)

And another guerrillero, a conversion of a french Voltigeur this time because the Perrys only have 3 different ones in their range.

(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s274/snilloc_photos/Hombre_zps9b4ffaec.jpg)

Last but not least a quick shot of the NCO (can anyone please explain to me in which way a Non-Commissioned-Officer differs from an Officer?) with a House I built 4 years ago for my 28mm SCW collection. Suits well I think.

(http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s274/snilloc_photos/Haus_zpsd4cbda8b.jpg)

I wish all of you a nice party tonight, "Guten Rutsch", and a happy new year.

Post by: Belisarius on January 01, 2013, 08:59:07 PM: A quick reply to your query. Corporals wore two diagonal bars above the cuffs made of cloth. Sgts had one, Sgt Majors wore two , gold for Line Infantry - silver for Lt. Inf. The chevrons found on the upper left arm were for long service and wre not rank badges. Hope this helps.

Post by: Lt. Hazel on February 11, 2013, 08:57:54 PM: It´s been a while, but I of course I´ve painted more 40mm French. First the magnificent Perry Cannon, Resin miniatures and absolutly fantastic to paint, but a bit fiddly to assemble. It´s finished, sorry for the crappy pics. The gun will be the objective in our TACTICA participation game.

A Sappeur to guard the cannon. He will get a melee bonus, cause he´s tall and strong and has this nasty huge axe. My favourite miniature of the range so far.
