AHPC11 - I Give Up!


That it I Give Up!


This was my last entry into the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge!


The figure is from Outpost Wargames Services from their Highwaymen range and will add a further 5 points to my total.

There's still a few hours left so good luck to all and Thanks to Curt, Sarah and all you lovely Minions for all the hard work. And lastly a special thank you to all my other Challengers for pushing me to get rid of that dreaded leadpile!

Cheers Ray

AHPC11 - Donnybrook - Imperialist Infantry Baden Baden 1683

 


I thought I'd try and squeeze in 1 last post before the end of the Challenge and after painting all those lovely Warfare Miniatures Ottomans, I thought I'd start an Austrian/ Imperialist force for them to battle against.


Now a lot of this force will probably consist of Poles, but I thought I'd start with an Imperialist foot regiment as I haven't any Poles!

I hadn't planned on painting this unit up during the Challenge, so a quick look in the League of Augsberg's book "With Talon and Claw" and I decided on regt Baden Baden.


You may notice they're missing their flag. Apparently Warfare Miniatures will be releasing some Austrian flags shortly, So the unit will have to wait to be flagged.


All but 1 of the figures are from Dixon Miniatures, the other being from Foundry. 
There are 21 figures in this regiment so they will add 105 points to my total!

AHPC11 - Haitian Revolution - British 14th Light Dragoons

 


My last unit from the Haitian Revolution for the Challenge and its back to the British regulars.


Two troops of the 14th Light Dragoons were detached and joined 8th Light Dragoons in the Low Countries in 1794 for service in the Flanders Campaign. Then seven troops were detached and deployed to the French Colony of Saint-Domingue in 1795 during the Haitian Revolution, they took part in an action at Mirebalais in June 1797 in which they helped defeat 1,200 ex-slaves who were sympathetic to new regime in France.


The figures are British Light Dragoons with Tropical helmets and of course are from Trent Miniatures.


Now I'm off to try and finish my last unit!!! Fingers crossed!



8 x 25mmmounted figures @ 10 points each

for a total of 80 points!
