On The Go


Leaping Lizardmen 
Part 1
I haven’t posted in a while but I’ve been pretty busy on these Lizardmen figures. I’m  re-touching my Warhammer Fantasy figures prior to selling them on plus expanding my old Hordes of the Things (HOTT) Lizardman army to be large enough for the new De Bellis Fantasiae (DBF) rules. 



I’ve got these two Slann Mage Priests under way. The first I’m returning to its original Warhammer style, with a couple of tweaks. With the second model,I’ve only got the Slann sitting on his throne so I’ve got a plan for him. 




 
Terrible Tyranids 
Part 1
I acquired a Warhammer 40K Tyranid army (think the Aliens film franchise) many moons ago. Most of the models were painted quite well but I wanted to add a bit of colour to their carapaces.


I only got around to doing a test model and then I never completed it properly. I'm going to sell off the army but first I wanted to complete that one unit. So, here are my nearly finished Termagants.


I'm also completing these spore mines.

Russian Army 1812 Overview

1812 Russians for DBN 

Part 1 Army Overview


I've recently revamped my 1812 Russian army. The original army was based for the venerable Empire rules. Now, I've converted the army for De Bellum Napoleonica (DBN). I painted some completely new figures (well, from the lead pile), retouched the rest and gave everything a new base. 


 

It’s around 36 AP strong, or three basic sized armies, which gives me flexibility and the ability to do some larger battles. I've still got a stack of Russian figures left that I'll finish rebasing and probably sell off.


In the pipeline are some enemies in the form of Bavarian (underway but on the back burner), Italian and French, Imperial Guard 12AP armies.


The army is largely based on the Russian 2nd Army West, under the command of Prince Bagration, at the battle of Borodino in 1812. 


There are links to the posts for the various sections of the army below.

Russian Army 1812 Command & Cavalry

1812 Russians for DBN 

Part 2 Cavalry & Command


This post showcases the command and cavalry elements of my 1812 Russian army for DBN. 


The army commanders:


CinC Bagration. Minifigs and AB Miniatures.



Raevsky, 7th corps commander. AB Miniatures and Minifigs.


Platov, Cossack commander. AB Miniatures.



The 4th Cavalry Corps.
4th Corps, 2nd Cuirassier Division. 
Gluchov and Ekaterinoslav regiments. 
AB Miniatures.


These are newly painted figures. I found the AB Miniatures to be well detailed and good to paint. However, attaching the separate riders to the horses was a pain. The riders and their saddles and cloths are moulded together and don't sit well on the horses.





The 4th Cavalry Corps.
4th Cavalry Division. Kiev and Kharkov dragoons. 
AB Miniatures.

Newly painted figures. The comments for the AB cuirassiers remain. Great figures but a bit of a pain to fit together.


Kiev Dragoons.




Kharkov dragoons.




The 4th Cavalry Corps, 14th Brigade. Lithuanians Uhlans. Battle Honours.


These Battle Honours uhlans are from my Empire army. I've added highlights and the horses were pretty much complete do-overs.
