So this post shows some of my work as I trundle along the wargaming path in my mission to paint the random "When the hell did I buy that/them/whole army!!??" projects that I find in long unopened boxes and draws. Two of these boxes contained some Perry's British 9lb artillery pieces and crew, some British casualties and two random Perry plastic sprues of U.S infantry '44-45 containing enough parts to make a 0.30cal machine team and extra crew.
So first up is the artillery. Both are 9lb cannons, one with a firing crew and one loading. They are in the later uniform and due to this are going to be forced in to double duty in my Peninsular force (1811) as well as my Waterloo force (1815). I can't see myself paying another £20 just for a few crew figures for the 1811 period.
Next up I have a few figures I hope don't see the table too often!
Finally we have the remaining 0.30cal machine gun to round out my "Chain of Command" platoon
So that finishes this post and finally finishes some projects. Both my "Sharp Practice" and "Chain of Command" forces are both now finished and ready to game with (though the thought of any project being 100% complete is, in reality, not possible is it?).
This weeks painting is taking the form of some dark ages figures I have re-found and some fantasy chaos warriors that I think I bought on eBay with "Dragon Rampant" in mind. I think all these figures can be amalgamated into one force and do double duty in several rules sets. Added to all this I found some oil paints in the garage, this has led to me messing about with oil washes, so hopefully on my next post we'll see those results.
