Review: Chasseurs á Cheval 1808 - 1815

Hey, look at this! It's a miniatures review. It's been a while since I've done one of these. Recently a box of the new-ish plastic Chasseurs á Cheval by Perry Miniatures came into my possession. Good enough a reason to review them!

Showcase: British Camel Corps

Now for something different - here we got mounted 1st Grenadier Guards, Guards Camel Regiment for the Gordon Relief expedition. 

Showcase: American Civil War Ambulance

Here's another piece for my American Civil War collection: A two-wheeled ambulance wagon.

Showcase: Gendarmes d'Élite

Now for something different for a change. These really well clad chaps are French Gendarmes d'Élite in their 1815 attire.

Showcase: American Civil War Mule Wagon

Today I would like to share some photos of the Perry miniatures Six Mule Wagon, supplying my little Confederates in the field.

Showcase: Bigger ACW-Regiments Pt.3!

As mentioned before, here are the 2nd Louisiana 'Alligator Rangers' with their base size increased from 6 to 8.

I took the liberty to use single bases on two of the horsemen too just in case I feel like playing something skirmish-y.

Of course this means I also have to add four more dismounted cavalry. Good thing I still have a bunch of half-painted dismounted Confederate cavalrymen from the Sash&Saber range. :) Now where did I put those models....

Showcase: Bigger ACW-Regiments Pt.2!

My next step toward a campaign-sized force for Longstreet was bumping my Butternut-clad regiment up to 10 bases.

Showcase: Bigger ACW-Regiments Pt.1!

A Longstreet campaign is becoming a thing again for our group, and thus I'm required to bump my usually 6-bases ACW units up to 10 bases each, at least three of them. Luckily the Perrys plastics boxes come with a lot of figures, so I still had a good reserve. I started with the 3rd Louisiana in their regulation dress which probably was never widely introduced at all. 

Painting these additional 4 bases (the ones in the front, apart from the command base) made me really appreciate the older Perrys ACW plastic infantry. They're just very nice to paint and aren't much work to put together. Brilliant, perfectly serviceable gaming pieces.

Review: Perry Miniatures Union Infantry Skirmishing 1861-1865

Now for the most recent American Civil War plastics set released in 2016 by the ever prolific Perry brothers - the new Union Infantry.

Review: Perry Miniatures Confederate Infantry 1861-1865

Here it is - my review of the Perrys' plastic American Civil War Confederate Infantry box!

Review: Late Napoleonic Line Infantry, Perry Miniatures vs. Warlord Games

Today I will compare two kits which couldn't be more similar. Both of them are (predominantly) plastic kits, both covering exactly the same topic: later Napoleonic French line infantry, 1812-1815. 

It has been a while since my last comparative review. The first one, in which I took a closelook at Black Tree Design's metal and Warlord Games' plastic WW2Soviet infantry, went over really well and I hope that this article will be as positively received. I have got a box of each here and assembled and painted a good portion of models from each box. Neither box was sent to me for free, I bought them both.

Review: Perry Miniatures American Civil War Artillery

It has been a while since I posted a review of a set of historical figures so today I would like to take a closer look at a recent review - the highly anticipated plastic American Civil War Artillery by Perry Miniatures.
