Boy Soldiers Pt2

So here are the first 3 painted up along with 3 Musketeer figures. I've painted them as BUF Auxiliary based on Pete's illustration in the Somerset book.

Boy Soldiers

Here are the first 3 Chinese figures converted to be VBCW boy soldiers. They are along side 2 Musketeer figures so you can see the size diffrence. I used Woodbine (Gripping Beast) heads as they are smaller than Empress Minitures ones. These where the 3 easiest figures to convert, the rest will take more work.

A Great Day at Frome

Just spent a great Saturday in Frome at a battle put on by Fitz. A 3 sided scrap in Bristol between the Anglican League, Royalists and Letft-wing militias. As you can see it was a major street fight and not the best place for cavalry.

The Captain's cavalry run in to an Anglican League section

After a days hard fighting against the Anglican League the left-wing militia's controlled the docks.

Tym's cavalry

 The Royalist's where beatten by the Anglican League in the morning, but had stopped an attack by a force of Canadian Mounted police fighting for Albert.

Bristol

A great day and I hope to go back soon for another game.

Brigade Games Order

Chinese

My order from Brigade Games has arrived so I am now the proud owner of 50 Lewis guns!
I also have 2 packs of their Chinese and 1 of their Turkish figures.

More Chinese

 As you can see from the pictures the Chinese are smaller, I was going to give them Empress heads but this would look wrong.

Turkish gun crew

 I did order some Gripping Beast heads at the same time so I'm going to use those instead. I'm also going to change their rifles to Assault Group Lee Enfields which should make them look like boy soilders.

With an Empress figure so you can see the size diffrence

This was one of the plans for the figures, and I think it will work well. I'll post some pictures when I've done the work.

Another Job Finished

Finished this last night and took some pictures. 3 more converted Empress figures, the mortar is from Assault Group.
This one will be up for sale, along with some rifleman. I'm having a bit of a clear out to make some space.
My order from Brigade Games is in the post, along with some figures from Artizan. I'll post some photo's of these when they arrive before they get the chop.

More Royalists

 Here is some more finished work, this time a anti-tank rifle for my growing force of Royalists.

The figures are from Musketeer and the heads from Empress. Pete has been showing off his fancy basing on GWP so I thought I'd better up my game with these.
So far we've sold 10 copies of the book and had some good feed back, so I hope it will sell well.

Almost an Author

The finished front cover, now I'm waiting for the preview copy.
