February 2011

Fantastic month after not expecting to get much done.

11 x 8 figure cavalry regiments: 196 points !!!!


Also prepped some more figures for the next two months when we had a nice warm day.

Had a small change in my cavalry plans. One of my units was made up of  left overs and was to be an "irregular" unit but I did not like it (luckily deciding before painting). This does mean I have to buy one more set of figures.

March Plan:
4 x 12 figure infantry units (started on first 3 units)
1 x 8 figure cavalry unit (just arrived in the mail)
13 x generals and personalities

If I can hit all these, the imagi-nation project will be almost mature. Have to finish the baggage and I have a bag of civilians.

Played a pick up game with my son on the floor using the Memior 44 figures and his home made rules...heavily favoring his attacking Russians.

Jivvanese Jager zu Pferde

Mounted jagers in campaign dress.

The last of the Spanish-American War figures I got with some others in an e-bay deal. Also the 19th cavalry regiment...one left to paint.

Lorax Lancers

The second unit of lance armed cavalry in the Kingdom. Recruiter from the cattle ranchers of the midlands.

Ronk Ruin Rough Riders

A frie korps raised from ranch hands in the interior. Word that these men were found unfit for the Lorax Lancers is only idle gossip.

Hinkle Horn Hussars

Dapper Hussars ready for action.

Hippono-Hungus Hussars

Jaunty pinks and blues for this dashing regiment of Hussars.

Valing Valley Chassuers a Chevel

Well dressed light cavalry without the maurading bent of the hussars.

I like how these came out, the blue and white is a nice contrast.

West Bunglefield Chevau-legers

Simply dressed light cavalry without pretention. The rose colored facing is in honor of the flowers grown in Bunglefield.

Krupp Kurassiers

The second regiment of armored cavalry.

Culpepper Carabiniers

More heavy cavalry. Ready for the campaign in the north.

Zweiback Garde du Honneur

This heavy cavalry regiment provides a field force and honor guards for visiting dignitaries. Dressed in elegant black and white with polished steel cuirasses.

Dutter Dragoons

The second heavy dragoon regiment in dashing pink.
