napoleonic adventures napoleonic adventures yet another blog of one man s fascination with the napoleonic period in 10mm 15mm and 28mm figures i also dabble in imaginations and other periods here i will post pictures of my painted miniatures and whatever random thoughts may occur as i paint base and game enjoy tuesday 2 may 2017 not quite dead i should really have posted something a lot lot sooner just a little post to say i m still alive and will be dusting off my brushes and paints pretty soon after a year long hiatus i did manage to get a couple of games in the pictures below are from the excellent game played at east ayton nr scarborough over the last weekend there was a bout a dozen or so of us using the lion rampant rules using the figures we specially painted up for it the photos were taken by goatmajor and are copied from his site the 1st pic shows part of my retinue more pics can be found here http thelaofwargamers prophpbb com forum4 html posted by ken at 19 11 8 comments monday 20 june 2016 front rank foot yeomen another unit for my lion rampant force i painted these up as the retinue of the duke of lorraine and are probably more uniform than they would be in actual life i may be wrong but i don t think such livery became the norm until much later the flag by maverick models and is quite distinctive compared with the others in my collection all are some form of fleur de lise i did highlight these figures but this has not come out well in the pics posted by ken at 07 31 8 comments thursday 21 april 2016 fireforge plastic mounted sergeants hi folks this is my first post of 2016 i m ashamed to say although i ve been playing games a plenty at the club i ve almost lost the desire to paint well anyway here is my first offering for 2016 they are plastic yuck but this is a result of my visit to vapnartak at york in february i spotted some perry metal sergeants and should have bought them on the spot but i went for a wander around the other stalls and when i returned they had gone so not wanting to leave empty handed i got the next best thing they aren t bad sculpts actually i just have to decide on pennants for them they will form two units of six riders for lion rampant i did notice that during my absence that the number of visitors reached over the 100 000 mark and many thanks to all those who have paid a visit and commented over the years ken posted by ken at 18 15 8 comments tuesday 29 december 2015 2015 figures painted about this time i take stock of the figures i ve painted so lets see for 2015 in brackets is the number of

austrian command i hope you all had a great christmas with your families and santa filled your socks with goodies just as the title says these are the figures from the ab austrian command set five command bases with archduke charles on the big base four figures the others can represent division or corps commanders these are my first 15mm figures in some months now so i have yet to get into 15mm painting mode the faces are notably not as well executed as i would have liked all i need now are some austrians for them to command posted by ken at 15 26 10 comments tuesday 22 december 2015 perry command and men at arms here we have the wotr perry command set henry tudor i didn t like the hyw sets for the french so decided to get this one i am not too happy with the faces and had several attempts to repaint them with no joy the flag is the oriflamme golden flame the battle flag of france which was housed in the cathedral of st dennis and was periodically brought out for war at agincourt it was lost in the battle this one i printed out from warflags and painted over the last seven of my front rank men at arms are also completed i converted one into a flag bearer the arms of the duke of brabant flag by maverick models the flags i ve chosen all have the fleur de lis so the troops they are assigned to can be instantly identified as my french well thats the last of my hyw figures i ll order some more in the new year and now it s back to 15mm napoleonics posted by ken at 14 06 10 comments sunday 13 december 2015 front rank men at arms just painted up and based 12 maa the front rank figures are really nice and easy to paint i painted the shields by hand rather than transfers i think i ve done a reasonable paint job and getting the hang of fleur de lis the figures are a mixture of spear and sword carrying gentlemen here we have from left to right two unknown knights the count of nevers and the count of roucy his is supposed to be a blue lion rampant from l r the count of fauquemberges the duke of bourbon count of eu and viscount of breteuil from l r the duke of alecon lord of beausmesnil lord of rambures and the count of vaudemont now for some groups
