Thank you! I've been getting a lot of work done on this project. Just finished painting these four Jägers with muskets and hand weapons. Really pleased with these as well, the guy with the red cap might be my favourite build so far.

What do you think?

They look cool - are these built using the Northstar cultist bodies? They see very versitle, I used a few with Stargrave parts.

Thank you and yes, exactly. I never built any proper cultists and yet I have gone through two boxes of them for various projects.

What a great idea for a project...I love it mate

Thanks mate! I found the game and setting very evocative, it's been really fun to do something a little bit different to my usual medieval fantasy fare.

These are awesome. Such great combos of kits for really effective conversions. The setting looks really interesting as well!

My own "gamer ADD" seems to be coming back...

Done a bit more building for the project. Nearly done with painting the hussars as well, probably have them ready to show tomorrow.

First up is a bodyguard/banner bearer for my Commander. They will go together on a 50mm round base once painted. She's also a little bit of a preview with what I have in mind for my Heavy Knights.

And then a second unit of Line Infantry. Will also go in threes on 50mm bases once painted. Went a bit back and forth on what heads to use for these, as I didn't want to just repeat the same heads and the first unit, but I did like the fezes. In the end I sculpted hats on these Perry Zulu heads.

What do you think?

Impressive output! Can't wait to see the Hussars. That banner bearer is really good and so is the banner!

I'm liking these

The setting does have a certain appeal

Great work, and imagination. I do like the mix of earlier armoured figures with later infantry.

Where is the mail armoured horse from?

Thanks everyone! Definitely a cool setting, and the artwork in the rules is super evocative I think (hope they manage a release soon).

Fred, the mail for the horse is on the Perry agincourt knight sprue. It's their regular medieval horse, but armour panels and armoured head is on the knight sprue, not the horse sprue itself. I like to green stuff a little strap over the rump of the horse as the mail panels don't match up perfectly there.

I know I said hussars tomorrow, but you know what? Hussars today! I hope I have been able to find a balance between the colourful flamboyance of a hussar and the dirty monochrome of Sludge.

I've also quickly built a Chaplain, one of the types of magic using heroes in Slude. This is a straight build from the Frostgrave Wizards II, something very unusual for me. No kitbashing, no greenstuff.

What do you think?

The Hussars look fantastic. Really creative, and well painted. I suspect your terrain and such will help evoke the Sludge setting alongside the figures.

Great stuff yet again mate. Nicely done on the green stuff fezzes. Each one wearing theirs slightly differently is a nice touch.

Impressive looking force. Reminds me a lot of Imaginations fun!
