Retreat from Moscow - 25mm Size Comparison

 Just a small and quick post for today....

Stephan, aka Duke of Baylen asked a question about figure scale in the comments of me last post. 

He asked, "How well do the Silver Bayonet figures fit with the Perries? I imagine the former are rather larger but I haven't any to compare. My interest is how well the Silver Bayonet figures would fit with the Deadloque range which really are big [though full of character]."

So here's a pic that will give you all and Stephen an idea of their scale.

From L to R Essex, Eureka, North Star (Muskets & Tomahawks), Perry and finally The Silver Bayonet.

They're all based up on Warbases 2mm round bases, wit Eureka being the smallest, but its quite difficult to decide on the tallest, but hopefully, you'll all agree that you can quite easily use all these figures together with no issues? 

So what do you think????

AHPC15 - Retreat from Moscow - Meets The Silver Bayonet

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.
