After picking up a few figures from Reiver Castings I made some progress on the Prussian Landwehr. This is the first of 2 regiments I need to complete. Especially with the upcoming campaign games. The Landwehr regiments muster out at 2 battalions each, or 6 bases for Fire and Fury.
It was very pleasing getting these done, almost felt like a proper painter again. Though I have noticed some issues with my eyesight on these 15mm figures. Unfortunately backed up by a recent eye test, just another week to wait for my new glasses.
I did also complete a few extra figures for the Barons War. These were also picked up at the Border Reiver show. 3 extra peasant spearmen and a blacksmith from Reaper miniatures. Just need a smithy now for the village.
Next in the painting queue are a few more Dwarves and some 15mm Punic War figures.
A good looking unit and figures. Your basing sets them off nicely.

DeleteI like the look of your Landwehr! Hope you get your eyesight sorted. I have trouble seeing smaller figures too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jonathan, hoping the new glasses work out
DeleteI have been wearing "special " glasses for figure painting for years...probably 15 or 20....I had them long before I needed proper ones for reading etc. My normal distance vision is OK...I can watch TV or drive without glasses, but small, up close vision is rubbish now!
ReplyDeleteI agree re the basing on your Landwehr, looks great 👍
Cheers Keith, my close up vision is normally fine, but is now starting to get worse
DeleteGreat looking minis! Love the Prussian unit!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal
DeleteNeil. The landwehr are great. Fifteen are beyond my skill to that quality.
ReplyDeleteHave been through eyes getting worse for near sightedness ( is that a word?) and cataracts, a good pair of glasses usually do the trick.
Cheers Joe
DeleteNice work on the Prussians, they look great, the blacksmith is an imposing figure, should look great on the table.
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie
DeleteNice work good to see you back on some painting 👍
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt, actually felt good to get some painting done
DeleteThe Landwehr look brill, Neil.
ReplyDeleteCheers Richard
DeleteAlways good to see Prussians like the Medieval chaps too...
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteGreat figures Neil. I don't think any of us really understand the strain we all put on our eyes painting little figures. Its no wonder most of us wear googles!
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray, I think years of painting is finally taking its toll
