Republican Romans

Figures:  Xyston

Scale:  15mm

Here are my first troops for my republican army. These figures haven´t been painted by myself. They have been painted by Krisztian Takacs, a hungarian painter. I got his address from my friend Uwe who´s collecting 1/72 historical figures and who has already sent quite a lot of miniatures for painting to Krisztian. You  can follow Uwe´s blog on my bloglist (history in 1/72).

To be honest, I couldn´t manage to paint my figures in such a short time in such a quality. Many Thanks to Krisztian. The figures shown have been a test to see how the units are going to look like. They look great and I like his painting style very much. 

The only thing I had to do was to base the figures though Krisztian also offered me to do this for me. I chose to base the figures suitable for Armati and Impetus.

As I got my rulebook for Impetus with all its 4 extra books this week I´m going to check next, how many figures I´ll need to complete my Republican Roman Army. Then I´ll send these minis to Krisztian for painting them.

As I have enough to do with painting my 28mm-minis I have chosen to get my 15mm-minis painted.

SYW - Austrian Army: Hussar of the Regiment Nádasdy - WIP - Part 3

Figures:  Wargames Foundry

Scale:  28mm

Flags:  GMB Design

Today the postman brought the flags from GMB Design I ordered just a few days ago. 

As always - really cool stuff. 

I like the quality and optic of these flags very much.

I just bought some flags for the cavalry regiments I want to paint next and of course the flag for the hussar regiment Nádasdy that unfortunately still isn´t ready yet.

But I couldn´t resist to open the package with the flag needed for this regiment for the "Standartenträger" is ready. :)

This is how the "Standartenträger" and his comrade joining the same base are looking with the great GMB-flag.

Though I haven´t finished the whole regiment I was at least able to get the first half ready.  

Originally I didn´t want to post these figs before having finished the whole regiment. 

But the flags have been too seductive.

The rest of the regiment is still WIP, but it won´t take too long until they will be ready for action. 

There are at least another three horses ready waiting for their riders.

Cheers

Hamburger Tactica - Professional pictures

Here is a link for photos from the Hamburger Tactica 2012. I´m sure you will agree that this is a great con.

What I liked most is the builded castle from Chicken. He glued about 30.000 self-made parts together to get this great building finished.
