I’ve had a productive weekend so
far. Heck, I’ve been pretty darn productive all week. This is what happens when
the kids (and more recently myself) are all sick and don’t go anywhere all week
and are too sore in the throat to do much reading with each other… When not
sleeping, they play, I paint toys… I’d much rather be getting out and DOING
stuff with what remains of the summer. Summer colds suck.
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
Australian Light Horsemen from Brigade Games.
I like these figures. Teh detail is a bit finer and thus a tad trickier to paint than the Renegade Cavalry I just finished up, but the horses are solid.

The marker flag/pennant is that
of the 1st Light Horse. I also tried to do the shoulder patches on
the few that are wearing their tunics.
A little preview of what’s
coming up next:
French Foreign Legionnaires from Artizan
Designs. Not quite Great War. I might be able to pass them off as
such… I mean the metropolitan troops were still in blue great coats and red
trousers… But I think the Legion was actually in khaki by 1914.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
The rest of the unit of
Legionnaires. I also have some modern police, WW2 Soviet NKVD and British
Paras, Early Great War German Jagers, Later Great War British (Canadian) Vickers
teams and a pile of other odd and sundry items on the workbench… Probably the
cops will be next after the Legionnaires… But who knows really… it could be an Amazon
General in a chariot!?
Nice work, as usual!
ReplyDeleteFantastic stuff, Tim!
ReplyDeleteIn 'March or Die', Gene Hackman's Legionnaires are wearing blue coats and white trousers after the war has ended. If it's good enough for Hollywood, it should be good enough for you!
ReplyDeleteMore seriously, Plynkes (of Lead Adventures fame) says they looked like this:

Pretty close, just with a pith helmet in place of the kepi with sunshade.
