Selection of flintloque models im using for my first silver bayonet game this Saturday. Got an official British unit painted up and on the look out for a nice werewolf mini for a russian unit
A few more painted up from the North Star Spanish unit set. The cloaked lady is an extra from Bad Squiddo Miniatures, based on a certain character from the Sharpe series 😎
My second team for SB. I mostly stuck with the pro paint scheme, but I’m happy. The Brits next!
Still deciding on which two of these lovely sculpts are going to be used as light cavalrymen for my French SB unit, any ideas?
With the addition of the officer and the sapper they are finally done!
To Major Armand, designated officer attached to the temporary field detachment informally styled the Rhineland Audit.
You are to proceed at once to the western banklands of the Rhine, near the drowned meadows above Andernach, where repeated reports have been received of armed men emerging from the river by night. These men are described by local authorities as dead soldiers in Prussian uniform.

You will determine whether the phenomena in question are to be attributed to enemy agents, counter-revolutionary superstition, organized fraud, desertion, or other causes prejudicial to public order and the authority of France. You will restore confidence, seize relevant persons and papers, and submit a formal report.

Hey folks.
Just starting outwith france and building a 100pt warband.
Would people minds sharing their 100pt french lists they've had success with?.
Thanks
Maurits is a Dutch conscript who is more occupied with chasing ladies than the supernatural.
Michel is a Haitian rebel that switched sides when he was confronted by Voodoo zombies on Haiti. He doesn't like the French, but he likes the undead even less!
Both are a mix of Victrix, Perry and Warlord bits.
Now just to complete my officer and sapper on the right and then the Rhineland Audit is complete!
Not the grandest set up, but it's a fun game
It took me months, MONTHS, but I've done it. Yesterday I did the last corrections on the light grey pants, the dots on the dapple grey coat horse, and its done. DONE.
'Course I'm not the best painter, they're not up to the standards of some whom post here, but I make do with my limited skills and means and what little time I've got once the family's off to bed. But hey, I was so proud of this project that I just had to fire up the kodak and share it...'sides, we don't get much Duchy of Warsaw warbands pictures.
So heres the round up.
First off the british waband, mostly in coldstream guards colours, perry miniatures. The highlanders are a bit anachronistic, being warlord games FIW highlanders, but they nonetheless feel at home.
Next, we've got a french warband made up of both the north star warband as well as some perry miniatures duchy of warsaw soldiers that were modified to look as french as possible (they explain how to do it, by the way, as some DoW regiments used french looking uniforms).
Then the prussians, north star miniatures, but I must say I'm quite happy with the swordmen painted according to leib-hussard colours. Note also the light cavalryman painted to look like a freiwilige jaeger.
A few baddies also, a werewolf I'd been given a while back, finally had an occasion to take a picture and send it to the guy who ghave it to me as well as were-jackals and scarecrows who's minis I simply fell in love with and had to get.
And then the "pièce de résistance", the Duchy of Warsaw warband. Cavalry is victrix, rest is perry, the dismounted cavalrymen being kitbashed perry/victrix. The trumpeters coulours aren't exactly historical but that one was painted partly historically, partly according to me kid's preferences. An eclectic group with vistula legionaires, imperial guards, 16th uhlan regiment and 7th/8th infantry regiment soldiers (did a mix, was too tired one night, did some mistakes, salvaged it that way).
A small note on the uhlans, I asked for feedback on facebook on how to stat them, well I decided to go with light cavalryman stats and have the lance a a piece of equipment instead of simulating it with traits.
Biggest project I ever did. Quite happy with the result.
