A while ago, well back in early 2023, Reject Richard made some Army Camps, for his 30 Years War figures, here.
I thought they looked rather snazzy, so thought I'd make something similar for my 2mm Battle of Almanza project
Now being 2mm you'd have thought they wouldn't take too long to plan out and paint up, but I've been working on the 2 army camps for far too long, they shouldn't have taken me 6 months to complete but they have!! I suppose the 2 stays in hospital this year haven't helped?
First up, we have the French camp
All the figures on both camps are from the excellent Irregular Miniatures
On the base we have a few tents???? some infantry on parade, with a few Officers watching on. I added some supply wagons bringing in some garlic and onions and a base of the horses that I posted a few weeks ago.
The red coats will tell you that this camp is for the English and allies.
We also have loads of tents, 2 smaller regiments of line on parade, a base of cows which again was posted a few weeks ago, and a few supply wagons too!
In this pic, I've added a unit of English foot for scale, both camps are based on a random shaped mdf bases, that I picked up on facebook from John Banks and are approx 5 inch square.
I added a hill to each of the bases covered in woods just to add a little scenery and colour. I also added a large pond, again just to break the base up. I keep saying this.....hopefully we'll see these out in Posties Shed sometime soon? You never know.?
Excellent looking stuff Ray!

ReplyDeleteCheers Lee!
DeleteTop work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry!
DeleteExcellent work, Ray! I thought this project may have disappeared. Good to see it back!
ReplyDeleteIt's always been there Jon, just need to be a but more rigid and stop buying new figures and finish things off! It's never gonna happen of course!
DeleteThey are "the business" and no doubt about it! These games promise to be quite grand when brought to table!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed. Just gotta get them on the table?
DeleteExcellent looking camp with many nice touches to bring it to life.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter.
DeleteThat is awesome. So much detail work.
ReplyDeleteCheers Alex, much appreciated!
DeleteExcellent work on those Ray:)!
ReplyDeleteCheers Steve.
DeleteImpressive Ray.
ReplyDeleteThanks OB.
DeleteBeautifully done Ray. They look like proper army camps rather than just a few random tents.
ReplyDeleteThat's the great thing about 2mm. You can make things that look real to scale.
DeleteCracking work Ray, they look super. Really gives the effect of a camp, adding the figures, wagons etc. really add to the overall look and the irregular shaped base adds to the finished article.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, I'm pleased with the overall look and composition myself.
DeleteHoly cow! Those are not only tiny, but actually look like what they're supposed to be. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteSplendid looking camps, just the buisiness!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain.
DeleteWow! They look the absolute business, Ray. Almost like one of those drone footage shots they like to show during wildlife documentaries of the herds moving across the landscape.
ReplyDeleteThat's the exact effect I was going for Simon, thanks!
