From Richard P - WSS Front Rank British (270 Points)

Finally managing to get some progress. Another 3 units completed for our early 18th Century games which include WSS and the fictional Indian Ocean island chain of The Woebetides. 

As usual for this project all figured are Front Rank (Gripping Beast) and are painted in units of 18 figures. There are always 16 foot plus a couple of Officer/Sergeant types so they can be used in Sharp Practice games as well as Beneath the Lily Banner games. I intend to add some flags at some point.

Anyway I have now completed 2 x 18 man Guard Infantry units plus 18 foot that eventually will have the rest of the figures added to complete another 2 units. Just on the painting table are the remaining figures including the officers etc. I also have some more Bavarians and the beginnings of the Dutch on the painting table that hopefully i'll get finished before the end of the Challenge.

As always I really enjoy painting Front Rank figures. Thanks for looking!

So that's 54 x 28mm Figures @ 5 points per figure = 270 Points

Those early redcoats look glorious, Richard! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this project before the Challenge ends.

Richard P - 28mm Woebetideus Tribesmen & Totem (272 Points)

Probably my final submission for this years event. As mentioned in previous posts we were planning to hold a big weekend Sharp Practice 2 game in April (proper Yarkshire Gamer size games :-)) set in the 18th Century on the fictional Indian Ocean island chain of the Woebetides. The event has now been postponed to September. These figures represent the Monkey Tribe that inhabit the Central Highlands.  Three groups of 12 Tribesmen, two groups of 6 Skirmishers plus Leaders on the individual bases. The Tribesmen and Skirmishers are based using Warbases zombie bases and the Leaders are on bases from Supreme Littleness Designs. These are great as they have areas to write details such as leaders names.

The figures are from various sources including Warlord Games Natal Native Contingent plastic box set, Perrys Zulu plastic box set and a Wargames Factory Zulu set I got off eBay. Also mixed in are some Victrix Numidian bodies and Gripping Beast Arabs as well as bits from sprues from Warlord Games AWI and War of the Spanish Succession ranges. The idea was to make them look tribal without looking completely like Zulus. Shields are a mix from various sources, some Arab, some Zulu and some Ancient.

The Totem was an eBay purchase and will either be an objective for the enemy forces or a deployment point.
