I didn't have any Pike and Shot armies and to fill this gaping hole in my collection I decided to invest in a Pendraken 10mm a LOA French army and an Allied Army.
First up the LOA Allies.

| Artillery. Left to Right - English, Dutch, and English |

| Dutch Cavalry |
 |
| Dutch Dismounted Cavalry or Skirmishers |
 |
| Danish Cavalry |

| English Infantry. Two units |

| Danish Infantry |

| Dutch infantry |
So first off the painting desk for 2025 is 3 guns, 30 cavalry and 120 infantry.
Surprisingly it only took me around 2 weeks to complete using contrast paints.
French to follow.
There is a plan to use these in a campaign - the 1000 year war - that will hopefully begin this year but more likely in 2026 or 2027 at the latest. 🤣
Great work, Ben! Today's output is quite impressive. This is a commendable start to 2025 painting tallies. Excellent backdrop too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan. A great start and best of all I have continued. I decided to up my photography and am printing out appropriate backdrops.
DeleteBackdrop is really cool. How do you do this wizardry?
DeleteHi Jonathan, no wizardry just very low tech for muggles.😂
DeleteI googled the League of Augsburg for images and found a painting that I copied into word and then printed off. 😊 I am sure there are way easier ways. I did think of just displaying it on a tablet and using that as the back ground but my tablet does not fit in my light box.
I use a small cut off of my grass mat for the base.
what, no pike and shotte? unacceptable! I'm glad this glaring mistake has been rectified. 😁
ReplyDeleteI know Stew. absolutely dreadful! I do have a half painted 17th century Swedish army that I bought in the late 70's but it was in 15mm so couldn't be used.
DeleteThey look very nice Ben...the advantages of 10mm include time required to paint, along with many others!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith. Easy to paint and there are lots of them - two big wins for me.
DeleteGreat stuff Ben. this a great period.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon. It should be fun. I will use OHW rules for it I think.
