The Big Project
It took me months, MONTHS, but I've done it. Yesterday I did the last corrections on the light grey pants, the dots on the dapple grey coat horse, and its done. DONE.
'Course I'm not the best painter, they're not up to the standards of some whom post here, but I make do with my limited skills and means and what little time I've got once the family's off to bed. But hey, I was so proud of this project that I just had to fire up the kodak and share it...'sides, we don't get much Duchy of Warsaw warbands pictures.
So heres the round up.
First off the british waband, mostly in coldstream guards colours, perry miniatures. The highlanders are a bit anachronistic, being warlord games FIW highlanders, but they nonetheless feel at home.
Next, we've got a french warband made up of both the north star warband as well as some perry miniatures duchy of warsaw soldiers that were modified to look as french as possible (they explain how to do it, by the way, as some DoW regiments used french looking uniforms).
Then the prussians, north star miniatures, but I must say I'm quite happy with the swordmen painted according to leib-hussard colours. Note also the light cavalryman painted to look like a freiwilige jaeger.
A few baddies also, a werewolf I'd been given a while back, finally had an occasion to take a picture and send it to the guy who ghave it to me as well as were-jackals and scarecrows who's minis I simply fell in love with and had to get.
And then the "pièce de résistance", the Duchy of Warsaw warband. Cavalry is victrix, rest is perry, the dismounted cavalrymen being kitbashed perry/victrix. The trumpeters coulours aren't exactly historical but that one was painted partly historically, partly according to me kid's preferences. An eclectic group with vistula legionaires, imperial guards, 16th uhlan regiment and 7th/8th infantry regiment soldiers (did a mix, was too tired one night, did some mistakes, salvaged it that way).
A small note on the uhlans, I asked for feedback on facebook on how to stat them, well I decided to go with light cavalryman stats and have the lance a a piece of equipment instead of simulating it with traits.
Biggest project I ever did. Quite happy with the result.
