FPW Wurtemburg Commanders

With some spare figures I had lying around I have put together 2 more command bases. I will not need them playing F&F, but they will get used if I am trying out Black Powder or similar rules. Again the figures are all from Outpost. The flag is from the Warflag site and the MDF bases are by Warbase.

Space Marine Captain

A space marine captain that I have rescued for my Nephew. I think he is from the Ultra marines but he wanted him painted to match his Black Templar's. The cross bar for the flag pole was missing and I couldn't find anything alternative so I add a flag. Came out okay and will look good amongst the rest of his force. Sorry the picture came out a bit shiny, think the white background of the flag caused some reflection.

FPW Bavarian Infantry

This is the second brigade done for my Bavarian Division. This brigade is only at 6 stands. The figures again are from Outpost and the flag is taken from the Warflag site (very useful for flags). I just need to complete 2 more infantry regiments of 10 and 6 stands and 2 small units of Jaegers and the Division will be complete.

Page Added

I've just added a new page to collate my Franco Prussian War project. So far I have added the Wurtemburg Division, which is now finished. Below is the progress made so far on my Bavarians.

Wurtemburg artillery

Feels like ages since the last post, but it isn't. I haven't gotten much done this week due to family commitments. I did though manage to complete the artillery for my Wurtemburg Division, hence the division is now complete. As mentioned in an early post the crew have been put together from Prussian artillerists with headswaps and a few spare Wurtemburg infantry I had left over.  I have though a couple of spare commanders which I will paint up as this will allow me to use the division for other rule sets such as Black Powder.

Next up I have ordered some more Bavarians from Outpost, enough to allow me to finish the 1st Division of the 1st Bavarian Corps, not sure if I will do the 2nd division next or start on a French corps.

Bavarian Cheveaux-Leger

Next up for my Franco Prussian War forces is 2 stands of Cheveaux Leger for my Bavarian Division. These figures are from Outpost. I didn't bother with the command, simply because they come in packs of 3 while the troopers are in packs of 4 and I only wanted 4.




For those that read some of my earlier posts on the Wurtemburgers here, you will remember the gaff I made when ordering my artillery crew and ended up with Bavarians instead. This time I got some Prussian crew and with the help of a scalpel, a few head swaps later and Wurtemburger artillery crew I have. The uniforms are not an exact match but can be covered when painting them up. I could have got the crew from Friekorps but was reluctant just to order 1 pack and pay the postage.

More Greeks

The next instalment of my Hellenistic Greek force are now completed. First up 2 more bases of Thureophori. this time I went with a more uniform look on the clothing and gave them red shields. Once again these figures are from Essex miniatures.



Next are 2 bases of Greek heavy cavalry, again from Essex miniatures. I went for a very uniformed look for these, not sure if it is historically accurate, but so. The white shields help them blend in with the rest of the army. Now with the available Psiloi and hoplites I already have painted I can put together any of the Hellenistic variant Greek DBA armies.
