For my second entry of the day I've gone all silver Bayonet on ya! I've no real interest in the game Silver Bayonet, but I've been a long admirer of the figures produced for the rules, they're so full of character. So I took full advantage of the recent offer from North Star, where you could buy the figures individually, rather than the unit boxes they usually sell in.
I managed to get this unit finished in time to take some pics and post it up. Sitting them on a radiator to help them dry quicker did help!
I painted the figures at the back first, the chap back o the left was supposed to be for my Haitian project, but Haiti's too hot for him,
The figure on the left, has a greenstuff cloak added
as does the Cuirassier on the right, all the others are as they came in the post. Which is a shame, they're both really nice figures and I've hidden all that wonderful detail under a cloak!!
I'm not sure if these will become a unit of stragglers or command figures if I'm being honest, they'll probably be a bit of both in the end.
Points mean prizes and these bad boys will give me 40 points.
8 figures@ 5pts each.
Teemu gave me a bonus of 2 points taking my total to 42pts, pushing me up to 23rd with 247 pts in total.

Nice variety of characters!
ReplyDeleteCheers Alex.
DeleteHa! Looking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael.
DeleteLooking very nice Raymond.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Sir!
DeleteNice brushwork, Ray! You are working overtime to produce such a steady stream of Fernchmen.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Challenge Jon, I always push myself hard!
DeleteMore cracking work Ray although I do feel sorry for the Haitian refugee sent to the coldness of Russia!
ReplyDeleteYeh, poor chap, but I did paint him with thermal pants on, so he should be ok??
DeleteThese have some very nice character to them. I like them a lot. (IMO all the Silver Bullet range are pretty impressive). Would never had known the cloaks were greenstuff tho - nicely done Ray!
ReplyDeleteAgreed all the range of figures are beauties. Shame I can't use more of them really?
DeleteWonderful paintjobs on some terrific sculpts - plus that snow base effect you've achieved is top notch too. Awesome posting, Ray.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you approve Simon!
DeleteLovely figures beautifully done again Ray. Some great poses among that lot.
ReplyDeleteThere are Lawrence, although I'm gutted the 2 best figures both needed a cloak and its hidden all the detail of the sculpting.
DeleteAwesome looking Retreat soldiers, Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Dean!
DeleteI really like those figures.
ReplyDeleteI'm mighty pleased with them!
DeleteSplendid looking French stragglers!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Glad you approve Sir!
DeleteNicely done Ray 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt!
DeleteThey look great Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul, glad you likes 'em!
DeleteThe Silver Bayonet figures always DO look very tempting, Ray.....and you have done a nice job on them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith, they are all great looking figures, the whole range of them, that is.
DeleteThese look a great addition. I have thought about these figures for Flintloque but didn't know about the opportunity to buy the figures singly. Perhaps I've dodged a silver bullet in terms of expense. I'm enjoying your new collection.
ReplyDeleteStephen
You perhaps did, or you could go the whole hog and buy the lot???
DeleteReally nice, effective snow effects, the diorama will be a big factor in your reports.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Joe.
