Painted in December

In November I got zero figures painted.

In December I did get some figures painted.

First done were another bunch of much delayed Black Tree Design miniatures from their Warriors of Islam range, to be used for Osprey games "Outremer: Faith and Blood" rules.







Need to find a banner.

When those were finished I started working my way through my Warriors of Carthage box from Victrix games. I finished 12 Libyan javelin men, just need to get some shield transfers.




They will be used for CLASH of Spears, which I fell in love with after the disappointment I felt about Warlord Games S.P.Q.R. rules. I and a Buddy of mine backed the Kickstarter each getting a boxed warband as well, I obviously will get the Carthaginian one.

So, this month I managed to slap paint onto: 36 28mm figures

Bringing the yearly total to:

 Vehicles:                   4
  Artillery Pieces:      2
     (1/72 scale):      151
      (28+mm):         202
-------------------------
             Total         359

All told not a bad total, even if I discount the 1/72 scale figs.

Figures I painted this month: July

Monthly painting report (July 2019)


Warlord games recently had another sprue sale, of which I took advantage of.  All the figures I painted this month were ones I picked up from the sprue sale.

First up is some Chasseurs A' Cheval .







Next was a unit of French Hussars.





Finally in the last 2 days of the month these guys burst out of my need to be painted pile, a twelve man unit of French Line Infantry in Greatcoats. Their pompoms are white, as I haven't yet decided what company to add them to.





An\other slow month, but I still added to my total:

(28+mm) 24

Bringing the yearly total to:

 Vehicles:                  4
  Artillery Pieces:      2
     (1/72 scale):     151
     (28+mm):         130
-------------------------
             Total       287

 Next month I hope to finish off my Napoleonic French I have a 6 man unit of Voltigers and the Command sections from my Victric box, plus three extra figures.
Ignore the 12 figure unit at bottom left of this pictures as it is the above unit before it was painted.

Monthly painting report (June 2019)

After a slow start (painting wise) I didn't pick up my brush until the 12th or so. Still I managed to get a few figures painted.

My current game is Napoleonic Rebels and Patriots.

To that end I painted more French infantry.

First up is another 12 man unit of Fusiliers, from my Victrix Miniatures French 1807-12 box


 
 


Deciding I needed another artillery piece I got a Warlord games French Imperial guard firing a 12 pounder



Then I finished my third (and last) Mounted French Officer, from Perry miniatures




A slow month, but I still added to my total:

(28+mm) 17 & 1 artillery piece
