28mm Frenchmen

With my purchase of a box of Perry miniatures French Line Infantry. I thought I should get some paint on them.

I will use them for "Chosen Men" from Osprey Games, or any other skirmish set, I want to try out.

In chosen Men, units are multiple of 5 figures for Light Infantry or Cavalry and Line Infantry are In multiples of 10 men.

I also ordered a box of Perry Dragoons, but they aren't here yet.

I had some free time last week so I painted a Line Infantry group of 10 figures. They wont win any awards, but (I think) are a solid war game standard.

Their pants aren't quiet as Grey as they appear in this picture, and the bases won't be finished until I can do them all at the same time

The last 28mm figures I painted were some WW2 Soviets, these guys are a little more colourful and the last French infantry I painted are a slightly smaller scale.

Hotlead 2018 loot

I didn't pick up much at hotlead, few of the vendors had much of what I was looking for, most of my purchases were from the Bring and Buy.

This year, prices at the Bring and Buy were not excessively high.

All I picked up

Almost the only thing I picked up new.

Bring and Buy purchase, unopened

And that was it for my purchases.

Hotlead 2018 Pictures.

This weekend was Hotlead, a miniature gaming convention located in Stratford, Ontario.

I was only there Saturday until 2 PM, I didn't get in any games, the only one that interested me was full to overflowing by the time I got there.

So I walked around taking pictures and trying to see what was on the Bring and Buy table.
