Mary Shelley in the Silver Bayonet (new AAR, page 6)

[Doug ex-em4]

Gun bunny, a lifetime's devotion to the works of P. G. Wodehouse helps!

Don’t overlook the lifetime’s devotion to strong drink and loose living

Don’t overlook the lifetime’s devotion to strong drink and loose living 

Does that help the most with reading Wodehouse or writing AAR's? 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Michi, as always, some lovely painting!

My plan for TSB is to have a ship with crew and the shore party will make up the Team. I can rotate lesser characters in out and have a "Pool" to draw from when characters get killed off. I will have my team officer for Shore Party affairs and a ship's Captain for action on the seas.

War Monkey, this sounds very interesting, good idea.

A lifetime devoted to getting outside of a sinew-stiffening libation helps with all of life's little anxieties. Mankind is born a double gin under-par!

“Intoxicated? The word does not express it by a mile. I was oiled, boiled, fried, plastered, whiffled, sozzled, and blotto.”

Moving swiftly on, some ancillary characters for my forthcoming games of TSB. On the left is the Comte Coqsure du Bedandboard, the estranged husband of the aforementioned, Comtesse du Bedandboard. On the right we have Johnathan and Arabella Strange.

These look amazing!!
The Perry on the left is so SB!!! I just finished it!!!!

[War Monkey]

Those are all awesome! I really do like the gentlemen on the far left. The Spectors in the background look great as well. I am curious about the terrain in the background as to is it homemade or purchased if so by whom?

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

I agree with you both, the Frenchman with the two pistols could have been made for SB! Some of the other Perry 'Retreat from Moscow' figures might fit in nicely, too.

I need to do a bit more work on it yet, but it the Watchtower Ruin “Nalog” from Ziterdes

[Blackwolf]

Those Ziterdes buildings never seem to get much love,I have rather a lot,and think they’re fantastic

Works well in the context!

I agree, I have a bunch for fantasy as well. Lightweight, durable, no stress of glue bonds weakening,...

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Yes, I agree, Blackwolf and white knight. The Ziterdes watchtower that I have, is a very nice piece of scenery.

Meanwhile, the Silver Bayonet Troop are now up to ¾ strength. They are joined by Dr. Pattie O’Fernyture, née Harper. Pattie Harper was born in 1782 in Tangaveane, County Donegal. She was the second of eleven children who survived infancy in a farming family in the Catholic peasantry that predominated in rural Ireland at the time. Her younger brother Patrick (the fourth child), may be known to some readers for his exploits in the 95th Rifles. Patrick had left the family in 1801 to join the British Army. Pattie’s father was Irish, but her mother was from Catalonia. She was married off young, so that there were less mouths to feed in the Harper farm. Her husband, Darragh O’Fernyture was killed in the Irish rebellion of 1798. Pattie attended medical studies at Trinity College, Dublin, paid for by a rich uncle, Séamus O’Fernyture.

Here she is, armed with her trusty blunderbuss.



Pattie is from Colonel Bills Wargames Depot

Love your background stories!!!

[War Monkey]

Thanks for the lead to your terrain piece. I wish they did something like those in 15mm. I game in 15mm however I am very crafty with my hands, so now I moved this to my, to build column.

Your doctor is a great addition to the team. I really like her colors, what a great job!

[Michi]

Love your background stories!!!

I second that! 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Thanks, Michi, War Monkey and Qwirz.

The troop are now joined by Duchess Ophelia Lovett-Behynde. Ophelia is the troop’s Occultist, specialising in English Magic, astrology and alchemy. Her story will be revealed soon. Major Shelley is now impatiently awaiting the arrival of the final member of the troop, Comtesse Marie Antoinette du Bedandboard. Ophelia is seen here brandishing a silver cross and a wooden stake.

[War Monkey]

She looks really great! Seeing more of the team all together is really great, they are very impressive. Looking forward to your next addition and hoping to see picture and stories of your games.

Top notch unit! Flawless recruitment
