Welcome to the Alliance of the Big Battalions Artistry Ladies and Gentlemen!

Well, the 11th season of the Lead Painters’ League has just ended, so it is a fine opportunity to start a new painting Club!

The idea of the painting clubs is for LAF members to populate a club with 100 newly painted miniatures, one miniature at a time, following the theme in question.

It’s an informal, collaborative project.

The scope for this "Grand Alliance" includes the ‘historical’ wargaming period known as the "Horse and Musket" period. In this case it includes the regimental warfare in the 18th and 19th century. So anything from the War of the Spanish Succession, the Great Northern War, Seven Years War, the Napoleonic wars, the American Civil War and the likes.

Note that the small scale Actions of the C18th (the French and Indian War for example) belongs to the ‘Pikes, Muskets and Flouncy Shirts’ board, not here, as well as the colonial stuff for the 18th&19th Century. The But it’s a fine distinction, so we won’t be too picky.

There are some simple rules:

- Any LAF member can take part.
- You take part by posting in this thread, a picture of a single newly painted miniature that fits the theme.
- You can only post one entry within a 24-hour period.
- You can contribute as many miniatures as you like while the painting club is running. But you can’t post more than one per day.
- The subject of your picture must be a single, fully painted and based miniature.
- It can be whatever scale you like up to 40mm.
- It can be a figure on foot, a mounted figure, or a piece of equipment – a cannon, for instance.
- You can picture your miniature on its own, or in a scenic setting.
- The picture can be a single shot of the miniature, or a composite of different views.
- Photoshop manipulation of the image (except for colour / brightness / contrast correction) isn’t allowed.
- Your picture should be a maximum size of 1000px x 1000px
- The miniature should be newly-painted for the club and not have been previously shown here or elsewhere on the internet.

If participants submit old stuff, that submission will be disqualified and removed.
If you submit more than one miniature in any one day, or multiple miniatures within a picture, that submission will be disqualified and removed.

You can upload the image using the LAF attachment function, or upload it to an image hosting service and link to here.

When you post a picture, please check the number of the entry before yours, and then number your entry accordingly. So, if for instance, the last entry was entry #037, your entry becomes #038.

Please give your picture/figure a title or name and state the manufacturer and / or sculptor if known.

The club will stay open until 100 contributions have been posted. Then the club is complete.

When you post a picture, you become a member of the club and may add this handsome painting club badge - designed by Mad Doc Morris- to your forum signature line:



To include this badge to your signature please use this code:

So let´s start a firework of fancy and colourfull uniforms, and please have fun  ;)

Jan

Thanks jambo

I have been mucking about with these for ages .... I must have rebased this guy about 4 or 5 times and I am now pretty much back to where I started  :?

At least now you know when he is dead...... :o

All the best. Aly

It is my fault, if it is a fault at all  :) it is very colonial, but I like the model, the conversion and especially the paintjob. So please leave him here, it is a thin line in some cases.

Nice entries so far, gents, and another fine club to join soon ... Although I couldn't find it in your listing, Jan, I'm pretty sure the American Revolutionary Wars (or AWI) would fit in here, right?  :)
