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.

They really look nice. Can't wait for the Tactica...

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

Thanx,
DV

Nice... I am usually not a big fan of highlighting black with greys, but here it really pops!

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.

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.

Great painting.
They are wonderful.

Very nice!

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

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.

Driscoles is responsable for the rules, so I´ll be as surprised as you will be

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
