Showcase: Imperial Cuirassiers

Can't have a proper 17th century Imperial army without a ton of Cuirassiers! 

Showcase: By Fire and Sword Imperial Skirmish Force

Diving back into the 17th century! Here's an Imperial skirmish force consisting of a bunch of pikemen, musketeers and dragoons.

Also: cannons snuck in behind some field fortifications. All 15mm in size, all by Wargamer.pl for the By Fire and Sword rules. Really nice figures, and it's great how Wargamer.pl took on the challenge of making a huge 17th century range to popularize this period.

WIP: Inquisitor Eisenhorn

A quick WIP shot of another Inquisitor Eisenhorn. At this point he's mostly done, but needs some final smoothing out of things and so on. To distract from all these little problems I used a fancy backdrop. :-P

Note the slightly different colouring on the shoulder armour compared to an Eisenhorn I painted last year, who was more along the lines of the studio paintjob. 

Review: Northumbrian Tinsoldier Miniatures

Today I'll have a closer look at one of the most characterful new range of miniatures of recent years. It's figures by Northumbrian Tinsoldier.

Showcase: 6mm French Napoleonics

A whoooooole lot of 6mm Frenchmen!

Showcase: 3rd Highlander Grey Rifles

Just a little one-off figure there - an Infinity miniature again, and I think the first Ariadna figure I ever painted. The colour scheme was requested to be along the lines of the box art. Had a good time painting this one. I couldn't go all-out on the figure, but he'll do for a gaming piece. What do you think?

Review: 1/16th Cuirassier by MiniArt

Today I would like to chat about Miniart's 1/16th scale French Cuirassier kit.
