Sagunto Dragoons

[olicana]

Hi guys, hope you like these. I did them rather than Del Rey.

It will come to haunt me. Details and more pics:

I know what you're thinking....

Yep....

Click bait.

I need 20p of advert stuff to get my next pay out. Sorry guys but, I'm trying to maximise the bargaining stash for my next major project. I'm trying to get the pot to £2500+.

Please help - costs you nothing but a few seconds.

BTW, that 20p adds £60. But, it all helps.

Project, well that's down to what I might be able to arrange with Foundry (I will not pay £14 for three cavalry on principle). If they can give me a big enough discount to make it worth my while I'll do Sikh Wars. Otherwise, I'll do Perry Sudan. I want one 'colonial collection' and this will be it.

Wonderfully painted minis! 

Please help - costs you nothing but a few seconds.

Done. Given all the wonderful pictures you post on the forum, it was well worth it.

I'm a sucker for 19th century armies.

Great as always!

Love your blog, but what with all the adverts?

Wonderfully done , love thee bases

[olicana]

Thanks, fellas.

The bases are 45mm x 60mm. Front Rank cavalry are hard to get on less than 22.5mm frontage. Which is fine, my infantry are based on 45mm x 45mm (6 figs a stand).

Bases are sand, grit and pink Tesco's cat litter. Washed with heavily diluted (4:1) burnt umber acrylic ink; dry brushed with beige shades of household emulsion paint; flock is a mix of yellow grass and burnt grass coarse turf by Woodland Scenics. Quick and easy. Note that I print the name plates on brown paper so the table doesn't look like a tickertape parade. The pins are for noting unit quality, command group, etc. with beads (so that I don't need to do rosters).



Pins in action. Number bead is command group. Coloured bead shows quality (green is reliable, they rolled up well for Spanish and the black bead is a shock troops/heavy cavalry status marker). Dice show UI strengths, black initial, white casualties. The broken wheels are shaken markers. Amazingly, after one night's play, pretty much all the colours get remembered - and there are ten! But, once assigned you can never change the meaning of a colour - that's fatal.
