Huguenots on the Web

The chaps at the League of Augsburg have been kind enough to publish some of my Huguenot rantings on their site. The first part of my descent into mild obsession can be found here:

J.O.E. Vandeleur

Every Flames of War army needs a commander and Lt Col Vandeleur has got the job of leading my mixed force of British armour and US paratroopers into the fray.

Simple paint scheme:

•  Russian Uniform
• Black ink wash
• First dry brushed highlight -Russian Uniform
• Second dry brushed highlight 1:3 mix of White and Russian Uniform.

All paint Vallejo the ink was Citadel's Nuln Oil.

Model is Battlefront

Ork Deff Dredd

Confession time on Khaki Drab -I've always had a thing about 40K Orks. They're green and they're mean and in the bleak war of the far future the only source of slapstick.

I've been collecting them right from the first Space Raiders box. This is the latest addition to the collection a mean ripping, blasting machine. Should really get back to work on that Stompa! Maybe one day it'll turn up on these pages.

 

Chaos Terminators

More reinforcements for the forces of corruption. These like my previous Word Bearers have been finished using a combination of Army Painter base coat, the darkest of the dips and highlight using Citadel paints.

As before I left the gloss varnish finish, I doubt the fallen much care about camouflage as the Long War enters another millennium. Soon the 13th Black Crusade will sally forth from the Eye... and invade some green flocked polystyrene tiles in my spare bedroom.

 

All figures are Games Workshop.

T-34s

The last of the Soviet tanks rolls of the production eh... desk. These Plastic Soldier Company models have been sprayed with Battlefront's Soviet Armour paint then given a black ink wash followed by two light drybrushes of Vallejo's Russian Green and Russian Green in 3:1 mix with white. Not my best work by any means but repeatable and quickly onto the war games table to deal with all those Stugs.

The Final Huguenot Foot Regiment

This is La Meloniere's the last of the three Huguenot foot regiments that fought in Ireland in 1690. Ready just in time for a League of Augsburg weekend in Derby. Wonder how they will do...

The whole army is going...

But the project doesn't finish there, a cavalry regiment of Huguenots Schomberg's French Horse also fought in the campaign. A test piece is below.

And to keep things interesting I'm adding a cannon or two...

 

All miniatures are Warfare.

Kellerman

This is Perry's version of Kellerman from their 1815 range. Like many other figures he's been languishing on the old desktop for some time and only recently got daubed whilst I was contemplating what to start next.

I recently made a list of everything I'd bought and had yet to paint. I don't recommend doing this, it was depressing in the extreme.
