From KentG: 28mm ACW Union limber, 18mm Westphalian commission (142 points)

Morning everyone just a small submission this week due

to Commission work taking over, First up we have a 

6 horse Union Limber, This was part of a large stash of 

metal and plastics that  I swapped for painting some minis.

The figures are 28mm Metals, except for the Limber itself which was 

missing so I've used a plastic limber. I have a confederate one that is

 also missing the limber so will do the same with that in the coming weeks

I love limbers and I rather dislike them, you might say what?

well I love painting them and they just look amazing on the battle field

as eye candy, but they are so big and heavy they are a right pain to store and 

I've even found they don't fit on some battlefields.

The three guys on the limber are my favorite, they look like best of mates 

Westphalian Army

Next up we have unbased commission. For those that don't already know 

I'm  a commission painter and have been for 18 years now.

the annoying thing about this is you don't get to paint a lot of your own minis

This challenge I'm trying my best to do my figures but the commission work 

has a schedule which I try to stick to, which means they can wait no longer.

Sapper de la Genie du Garde

12 foot

The figures are beautiful AB miniatures and have travelled to me from Australia 

and end up in New York so they will be well travelled

The army is Westphalian which I have never painted before so has been a 

challenge to try and find correct uniforms.

Guard Carbinier Battalion

12 foot

Guard Chasseurs Battalion

12 foot

Grenadier Battalion

10 foot one Cav 

This is about a third of the figures so there will be a few more before 

I can get back to my own minis.

            Points 

            28mm, 6 horse limber: 6 horses, 6 figures, 1 x limber = 70pts

            18mm unbased infantry x 46 = 69pts [Millsy... -25% points for unbased]

            18mm unbased cavalry x 1 = 3pts [Millsy... -25% points for unbased]

            Total 142 points

From Millsy: Only a crazy man paints limbers. There, I've said it. At least when you do paint them you do a cracking job mate! Beautiful brushwork on the Westphalians too, especially the grenadiers and sappers of the guard who are absolutely glorious. 142 more points for you tally!

From AlanD - Gallic Cavalry (55 points)

Pompey's army for To the Strongest! continues to grow this week with a unit of Gallic cavalry.

Figures are from Wargames Factory (donated by Paul OG - thanks!) They aren't too bad, although the detail is very soft in places.

Shields are hand painted, which was fun, but did not make me want to paint a whole army of Gauls!

From Millsy: Absolutely wonderful brushwork mate! There's so much to like about these, especially the plaid and the basing but the shields are the real show stopper. I've painted enough checks myself over the years to know how frustrating it can be but the results speak for themselves. Bloody beautiful and worth another point apiece I reckon.
