Bits and pieces part 2

So this bank holiday weekend has definitely seen an increase in output as a number of figures were cleared off the painting desk. First off there was a return to the Franco Prussian war and my second regiment of Landwehr for the upcoming campaign. As usual these are all from Outpost/Reiver castings.



I think these will be the last Prussians for a while. I may return in the future and add a French infantry division to 4th Corps.

With the ongoing games of Midgard at the club, it was a chance to add some more Italian infantry. This time figures designated as Samnites from Museum miniatures. 



This brings me up to 3 units of Italian heavy infantry, I do have enough figures from Essex miniatures for a 4th unit. I can see myself adding more units in the future, namely some heavy cavalry, medium infantry and some skirmishers. Then I can field them as a stand alone force.

Now I also added a few figures to the Warhost collection. Namely three more Dwarf warriors and an Air elemental for the Elves. The Air elemental is a 3d print provided by Mitch. He is also busy printing me an earth construct for the Dwarves.






I've got a couple more things on the painting table that I should get completed before I go back to work on Tuesday. They are some Roman velites and Spanish light cavalry, then a couple of more Dwarves before starting on some Elves.
