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!Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03909580539526966279noreply@blogger.comBlogger231125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645389520223183069.post-23923054727003032212017-05-02T19:11:00.003+01:002017-05-02T19:46:29.181+01:00Not quite deadI 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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<br />

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.<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

So lets see for 2015.....in brackets is the number of figures but not including horses for 28mm limbers and wagons.<br />
<br />
<b>28mm(Lion Rampant)</b><br />
4 x men-at-arms units (24)<br />
battered markers (8)<br />
standard bearers (4)<br />
1 Pavaiser unit (12)<br />
1 commander base (3)<br />
1 crossbow men unit (12)<br />
<br />
<b>28mm Ayton Imaginations</b><br />
3 x Mexican command bases (6)<br />
Mexican bandit types (6)<br />
2 x gatling guns (6)<br />
3 x Mexican infantry units (108)<br />
2 x Mexican horse guns and limbers (12)<br />
3 x Mexican foot guns and limbers (12)<br />
2 x supply wagons (2) <br />
<br />
<b>15mm Napoleonic's</b><br />
2 x Bavarian foot artillery guns (6)<br />
5 x Austrian command bases (12) <br />
2 x Austrian infantry units (48)<br />
1 x Hungarian grenadier unit (24)<br />
1 x Austrian uhlans (12)<br />
1 x Brunswick uhlans (12)<br />
1 x Russian grenadiers (24)<br />
1 x Russian Pavlov's (24)<br />
2 x French cuirassiers (24)<br />
1 x French cuirassier command (2) <br />
1 x British Life Guards (12)<br />
<br />
<br />
Looks like 215 x 28mm figures and 200 x 15mm figures. Hopefully, in the new year I can complete more 15mm Austrian and Russian figures and get to do the 1814 gaming project as well!<br />
<br />

<br />
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.<br />
<br />
All I need now are some Austrians for them to command!<br />

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.<br />
<br />
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!<br />
<br />
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.<br />

I painted the shields by hand rather than transfers, I think I've done a reasonable paint job and getting the hang of <span class="_Tgc">fleur-de-lis. The figures are a mixture of spear and sword carrying gentlemen.</span><br />

This was a dry run for a game next week. The rules seemed more streamlined than Beneath The Lily Banner as the troops could march reasonable distances (6in for inf and 9in for cavalry), however depending on your command die role for the brigade you can do up to three moves at once. So the troops can really glide along and make contact! Taking three moves does forbid you from shooting. I never got to fire my artillery due to out of range and masking my own guns. The artillery is only really worth bothering with at short range.<br />
<br />
The figures are our 28mm WSS, mine are Imaginations but with French flags! Ian's are Austrians with the correct flags! My apologies for the quality of the pics but what with the bad light in the hall and my shaky hands nothing better can be expected.<br />
<br />
A lot a bad dice throwing and neglect to fire a volley before I went in to melee led to the destruction of my army. We managed to do quite a bit in the three and bit hours (6:30-10:00). So definitely, thumbs up for Pike and shotte.<br />

They are based on 20mm MDF bases with tufts of grass. I had to use the flash on these and the results are not that pleasing, maybe I should have waited for natural light but that would have meant hanging on until the weekend!<br />

These six represent my first men-at-arms, four of them are in fact the HYW personality set consisting of the (left to right) Duke of Orleans, the Marshal, the Constable and Guichard Dauphin (Master of the Kings Household). The two on the end are men-at-arms. I used Citadel Six shield transfers on these guys (identifying them as Lords Crequy and Dampierre) and also the surcoat badges on the Marshal. I did however, paint the shield of Dauphin. I painted up two standard bearers, one for the Constable and the other is for the Count of Eu. All are based on 20mm (I used 25mm on the Pavasiers) MDF bases. Flags are by Maverick Models.<br />

I added a small 7mm dice frame just in case they may be used for other rulesets that track casualties. I also painted a Front Rank standard bearer, he's from their WotR range, they sent him by mistake but I liked the figure I decided to keep him. I also managed to paint a Fleur-de-lis on his coat.<br />

They painted up very easily, although the faces were a bit small and have little detail to paint. What really sets these guys off are the amazing transfers from Little big Men studios. The Lion is the symbol for the city of Lyons militia and the Lamb, indicates militia from the city of Rouen.The transfers were very easy to apply, simply cut out and with the fingernail remove the clear plastic cover and apply the sticky side to the shield, use a few drops of water to get rid of the white paper backing and Voila!<br />
<br />
I'll think I'll paint up another unit to use up the rest of the transfers. <br />
<br />
Next to be completed are eight 'battered' markers, these are Foundry casualties.<br />

For some reason I've just been unable to paint anything, no motivation at all. However, I've been very active on the gaming front, I've played three games of Blucher at the club and many, many more games such as Spearhead, Deadmans hand, Saga, and play tested several times a rule set called BattleFactor.<br />
<br />
Well in order to rekindle my interest in painting I've bought in some Perry and Front Rank Hundred Years War figures (28mm). Maybe I need a change from Napoleonic crossbelts and blue coats. I've heard some good things about the Lion Rampant rules and so have started to build up a retinue. Rather than build an imaginations unit I've went for 100 years war french army. So I've primed some Perry infantry with the large shields (Pavises). I was attracted to these when I saw the absolutely stunning Little Big Men transfers for the french militia. <br />
<br />
Fingers crossed I can complete these figures very soon and then maybe get back into churning out the figures like I used too!Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03909580539526966279noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645389520223183069.post-2192504443575778132015-09-02T20:01:00.000+01:002015-09-02T20:01:01.587+01:00Dead mans handI played my first skirmish game at the club Tuesday night and it was quite fun. Karl hosted a game of Dead Mans Hand, there was the six of us in three teams of two. Yours truly and Steven were the Mexican bandits, Karl lead the other set of bad guys while Laurence led the good guys (US Marshals). Each team had about 8 figures (I managed to sneak in four of my Mexicans from the Ayton game). The objective of the game for the two bad guy teams was simply to wipe out the good guys. Even I understood that objective. The Marshals were holding out in the three level hotel building shown in the first picture. The second picture shows the Mexicans sneaking up at the back from the corral, not pictured is the other bad guy team taking up position at the front of the building.<br />
<br />
The game was very enjoyable, its main mechanism is card activation for each character, a 1D20 is used for shooting with modifiers and 1D10 for morale. Figures have types such as boss, gunslinger, dude and varmint (in order of excellence of hit points, damage infliction and morale). Each character has three actions, which can be all moves (10cm each) or shoots, or a combination. Each character can also accumulate tokens to identify status and injuries.<br />
<br />
Our Mexicans infiltrated the hotel and started to give the Marshals some casualties and the bad guy team two was giving the Marshals equal hell at the front when all of a sudden the other bad guys started firing lead into our backs! In a very confused shoot-out the US Marshals shot at bad guy team 2 and caused the majority to run away after they failed their morale checks, the last of bad guy team 2 were eliminated by the Mexicans. Laurence (the lead Marshal) had a nasty habit of staying a floor two popping down to floor one for a crack at the Mexicans and then popping back up to floor two unharmed. Finally, the Marshall grew some balls and came down , shot my second remaining bad guy and tried to finish off my gunslinger character (Tuco), sadly for Lawrence Tuco was triumphant and the Marshal lay in a pool of his own blood. Literally the last man standing, needless to say he went across the road to the Saloon for a shot of whiskey!<br />

Again, another set thats been lying around my desk for ages. I particularity liked the swords on these figures which are often sculpted too small and give the impression of big knives! Blue Moon cavalry figures seem prone to this error. AB have gotten the British heavies 'right' in this respect and are fine figures.<br />
<br />
These were present at Waterloo and formed part of Somersets brigade which comprised of 1st and 2nd Life Guards, the Kings Dragoon Guards and the Royal Horse Guards or the "Blues". These figures are sitting awaiting their turn, along with Ponsonbys Union brigade. <br />

I've had no experience of playing Blucher so hence the word foolish! I read the rules several times and thought I got the jist of it but that fell apart once combats started.<br />
<br />
Darrel and Peter were the allies and Ian and Paul were the French. I used the scenario from the Blucher website (by Sparker), and it did a pretty good job of scheduling the troops, starting at turn 16 and ending at turn 30. The only thing I disagreed with was the immediate availability of the cuirassier brigade, and I gave a foot artillery battery and a horse battery to the allies.<br />
<br />
To keep things simple I did not use hidden units, unit characteristics or characteristics for the commanders - except allowing an extra combat die if attached to a unit. <br />
<br />
Main events were the aforementioned cuirassier brigade getting hit by the Dutch battery losing four strength points one lucky bombardment. The Prince of Orange was attached to Merlens light cavalry brigade which suffered casualties and the poor old Prince became a victim himself which really pleased Marshal Ney (Ian). We ran out of time but the allies held Quatre-Bras and the French held part of the road to Ligny, so hence a draw. There are not many pictures as I hadn't much time in between thumbing through the rule book and offering advice.<br />
<br />
Hard to say what I make of them - rules are a bit more complicated than Grande Armee, I probably should have played a couple of game before doing this. My worst mistake was misinterpreting the reserve move, I thought it was 8 BW but is in fact 12 BW !!!! This is why we ran out of time at the club to complete. Basically the French were taking too long to march up. I think giving a few more tries would do it justice, assuming the guys at the club will still speak to me.<br />

These are CGM figures (from Spain) and are generally ok, although I think the sculptor had difficulty with the czapkas, AB's they ain't but price wise I can't complain. They came with separate lances but these were without pennants, so I discarded them and used some metal lances (25mm spears?) from North Star, the pennants are from ordinary photocopier paper and cut to size.<br />

I bought the trees years ago when I got back into wargaming, I cant recall the make but they were a big mixed bag of deciduous and conifers, they were a bit tall for 15mm so I cut them in half and doubled the number of trees! The deciduous are already based singly on poker chips obtained from Asda. Which reminds me, I really need to get some felt to mark the outline of woods.<br />
<br />
I'm not a fan of 'look at me I'm just been shot' poses, so I cut the bases of some of the French and British and with a bit of work with the pliers got them to lie down. <br />

This game was hosted by Ian and there was eventually four of us playing. Ian and John (Prussians), myself and Neil (Austrians). The battle of Kolin was fought on the 18th June 1757, historically the Prussians narrowly lost this one after a series of blunders. I dont know enough about this period of history to comment further, except to say that Ian and John did a bit better! We recreated only a part of the battle, the main bit was off-table to our right. In both cases, the Austrians were supposed to capture a road to prevent the Prussians sending in further reinforcements to the main battle and the Prussians were suposed to capture a hill preventing the Austrians from doing the same.<br />
<br />
Apart from Ian who was rolling some good dice we had some laughably miserable die rolls, we tried to blame young Alex who came to see what all the noise was about. The rules were developed by the Tyneside wargames club and are free to download from their website.Anyway, here are a few pictures when I remembered to take any. Again, not much of a battle report.<br />
<br />
The rules had command pips (1D4) for each general, my general on the left flank was "average-incompetent" which for those who know me is probably a good estimate. However, these were chosen by chance for each commander with the Prussians having better odds for obtaining good commanders. It meant that poor commanders were -1 for command roles, average meant no modifier and good commanders had +1. There were markers for orders for each unit, and to change an order meant using up a command pip. <br />

Prussian cavalry more or less wipe out their Austrian counterparts and then proceed onto the infantry.Kenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03909580539526966279noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645389520223183069.post-4635449970891813722015-05-21T18:00:00.001+01:002015-05-21T18:00:24.860+01:00casualty basesRather than just place the dice next to the damaged unit I thought I paint up some special bases instead. A few people seem to be using them and I quite like the effect. I went for rectangular bases rather than circles so they can join up flush against the unit they are attached to. as you can see I made space for two 7mm dice, just in case. The frames & dice were bought from minibits.<br />
<br />
So I bought some French, Prussian and British OG casualty packs, and will probably get Russian and Austrian as well. Debating whether or not to use dead horses for the cavalry. Examining the packs, most of the French are lying down as expected with only a few standing up like this guy who looks as though he's just realized he forgot something. The Prussians have a couple of poses that dont look like wounded, probably same again with the Brits.<br />

The rules are called "Battle Factor: the age of cannon 1704-1865".<br />
<br />
Neil brought his AWI figures and I played the patriots (or rebels depending on your viewpoint of history), I had two regiments of Continental infantry, two of Buckskins, two ranger units and some militia. In addition to four generals, a cannon and a unit of cavalry.<br />
<br />
The rules I think played well, they were well written which is a good quality in any rule set, they are evolving but most of mechanisms will probably stay the same with some minor retuning as he has worked on these for a while.Neil was very patient while I blundered through the game.<br />
<br />
Each side must secretly determine two objectives (sensible military ones!) and at the end it may be possible for both sides to 'win', mine were to capture the crossroads and the church. Neils were more sensible, he also wanted the crossroads but also the high ground overlooking the crossroads!<br />
<br />
Command and control is based on a 1D6 roll for each general and the C&C, low rolls mean you cant move, change formation or fire as mush as you would like.<br />
<br />
All hits are determined by rolling sixes, easy to remember that. Maybe use fives as well for close range rather than adding extra dice?<br />
<br />
The number of musketry and melee die are decided by the frontage in mm, I think it was 1D6 for every 40mm.<br />
<br />
Artillery and musketry are not deadly, although at close range they can be. The important factor for deciding results is in melee, again causlties can be light it is the morale acsendence that determines if a unit is pushed back or not.<br />
<br />
At about 50% causalities a unit will begin to start suffering the effects of these losses, as these go beyond 50% they cannot attack or advance and will finally rout. The information is kept on rosters and is not onerous.<br />
<br />
When movement and firing occur the defender can react either by firing back, or a formation change. Reacting troops are noted by markers, as well as those that reacted by firing. <br />
<br />
I think the recoil rule may need to be rethought as I kept wining a melee repeatedly and the losing unit sort of got stuck in front of a friendly unit and could not retreat further. Usually, based on my limited experience I would expect to see these pass through the friendly unit causing disruption or not depending on the rule set. <br />
<br />
If you lose a melee, (die rolls are compared and the loser is pushed back), you can follow up but the winners use five dice to the losers three. So having lost once expect to lose again.<br />
<br />
Joining the Whitley Bay war-games club has been one of my better decisions, I'm actually playing!<br />
<br />
In terms of game play, I concentrated on the crossroads my continental infantry won several melees pushing the British back, one of them routed off the board. The church was just about in my setup zone so that was objective down already. The woods north east of the church were filled with indians and British light infantry, I failed to take the woods and my militia and rangers were pushed back. The British centre was overrun with 3-4 of my battalions and more or less won the game. On my left flank Neils dragoons routed my cavalry and caused panic with the remaining infantry battalion posted there. <br />
<br />
I must apologise for the fuzzy quality of the photos, my hands shake and the lighting isn't too good in the hall. <br />

Fortunately, Ian had access to another copy and spent the night before reading up. He used to play DBA many years ago and so understood the systems. The scenario was kindly supplied by Alex one of the designers of DBN, my only modification was to use double bases to plump up the units. We felt time was against us, so decided on using the basic rules without attrition.<br />
<br />
The battle of Ligny was possibly Napoleons last victory, 60,000 french faced off against 80,000 Prussians. I played the part of old Blucher and used the historical setup with III Korps with its preponderance of Landwehr units taking up post on the Prussian left flank. I Korps was guarding the Ligny stream and occupied Ligny itself, while II Korps stood just behind it in reserve.<br />
<br />
My opponent of course decided on a slightly less historical setup and came at my left flank with Vandammes corp and the imperial guard! Gerard was used to attack Ligny and the stream either side. While Grouchy used his cavalry against my right flank.<br />
<br />
We started at 7:00 and packed up at about 9:50, Ian (Napoleon) had almost reached his first objective, the crossroad near Sombreffe which was the supply line back into Prussia. The second objective Sombreffe was at risk but the third, the crossroad near Wagnele (and a route to Quatre-bras) was quite safe as I had depolyed in depth there. However, my left flank guarded by Theilelemans III Korps was too weak and got rolled up - losing five units to recoil - whereby they retreated into places they couldn't! I managed to blow away a unit of French hussars with a lucky musketry role but that was about as much harm I inflicted.<br />
<br />
Impressions: I like the command point system, for each C&C and subcommanders you role a D6 and the numbers pips indicates the number of units you can move. While I thought the artillery was not particularly bloody it did give a sense of pushing back attacks as happened in real battles. However, I recall that my experience of artillery is rather sanguine after the Ayton games! So in reality the artillery rules seemed to work well.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures, the first two or so are from the French side before troop deployments, the rest are all based from the Prussian viewpoint (when I remembered to take photos that is!). All in all I really enjoyed the game, it was really a pleasure to get the little chaps out on the table and throw some dice.<br />

Iain and myself had a meal in the Denison pub and later on met up with the others to setup the village hall. Saturday involved a couple of independent games that were played according to the campaign system that Iain and Paul had been running for the past two months. My goal was to hold an important road junction, this I did and the other two objectives of the enemy were to capture a temple and a convent defended by two other allies (Gary and Bob). The fourth team member (Buff) assisted my efforts and the convent. <br />
<br />
Sunday was the enormous wall-to-wall troop battles, my Mexicans inflicted equal losses to what the suffered but of course the Lancer unit charged the guns (and maxim guns) and evaporated which is now customary for this unit! <br />
<br />
Anyway I took some pics of the two days, better pictures with BATREP will eventually appear on the "Loose Association of Wargamers " website. Somewhere down this page is a shot of my Aztec command base - it was supposed to convey "special" morale boost but to the Mexican troops but I never got a chance to deploy it.<br />
<br />
There was also a side-game ran by the two Tim's - a 54mm ACW game, quite impressive.<br />

Now I can get back to my Napoleonics!<br />
<br />
Again, these are individually based on pennies, good value you get 100 for a pound! Again I have created sabots with magnetic material on the bottom and steel paper on the top. They can move around on the sabots or individually at pleasure. Above all it makes them safe-ish during transport.<br />
<br />
I had a bit move fun with these, I gave this last regiment three different helmet patches: a skull and cross bones, red/white diagonals and a yellow flaming grenade on a green background. The smaller unit (six figures) is to bulk out the very first regiment to 36 figures.<br />

There are usually a few games on offer, last night I played Sails of Glory with Lawrence and Steve who guided me through a couple of games.<br />
<br />
The other games included a Samurai skirmish game, a Zombicide game, and a Seven Seas pirate skirmish game (which reminds me I really should paint up my 28mm smugglers and HM revenue men).<br />
<br />
The game was reasonably fast and furious, similar in some respects to Wings of War in the sense that secret cards are used for movement. There the resemblance ends as there is a lot more book keeping involved as your ship takes hits on the hull and crew. Some very nice counters placed on boards are used to track damage control, each ship can do only so many actions and these drop off as you take hits. In addition you must also keep track of the wind in the age of sail! A couple of times I found my ship had lost the wind and was more or less dead in water for a couple of card moves.<br />
<br />
Steve kindly acted as a coach for me as I captained a french ship while Lawrence commanded the British ship. We each managed a a couple of broadsides and some minor volleys, over the course of the game I lost a mast and towards the end I received a couple of leaks. This can be fixed but with losing so many crew I could not reload fast enough, so it was either quit the fight and sail away or sink! Very enjoyable but would take a few games for me to become familiar with the rules.<br />
<br />
I took a couple of pictures at setup but was that engrossed in the game I forgot to take any more! The models come with the game are very elegant and there was a mixture of small nippy vessels to large ships of the line capable of devastating broadsides but lacking maneuverability.<br />
