Beautiful figures on your blog, love the pig face orc's.
Think you can still buy them from Miniature figurines?

Thanks Willz .

yes you can still get them but Caliver charge quite a lot for them, it's often cheaper to find originals on eBay though I may top up some figures eventuality. I've still got lots of their hobgoblins and goblins to paint first though.

Not really planned but I came across a batch of Grand Manor resin stone walls and decided they wouldn’t take too long to knock up. I’ve now got 4 quite large enclosures glued and undercoated and hopefully ready for paint. They were intended for a 1745 game and there's a suitable house in the box as well so I may do that at the same time.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

It’s amazing how often you just ‘happen upon’ some old unstarted stuff LT 🤔
It’s almost as if you may have an excessive leadpile.

I think he broke into a wargames show just before it opened and played his own version of Supermarket Sweep.

Some may call it ‘excessive’. I prefer to think of it as big-boned.

Well it's taken me 25 years, but I've finally finished my Napoleonic Imperial Guard infantry - Grenadiers a Pied, Chasseurs a Pied, Fusiliers-Grenadiers, Fusiliers-Chasseurs, Marins, Flanquer-Chasseurs, Flanquer-Grenadiers, Tirailleurs and Voltigeurs - 244 figures in total (AB Figures) and all I'll ever need for my purposes. Now finishing off the Guard cavalry - the Gendarmes d'Elite are almost done and then I'll have the Mamelukes left to do.

I've got 30, 6 and 6 respectively, which tends to be enough for most scenarios. I wanted the two Young Guard Corps for Dresden & Leipzig (as well as the full gamut of Guard cavalry), so thought it was time to finish off the Guard.

I still need some odds and sods, such as Berg Horse Artillery and Young Guard Cavalry, but AB don't really do much in the way of suitable figures at the moment. I've long lived in hope that Mr B might do some French-style hussars with full shabraques (the current ones have sheepskin shabraques), as they'd be great for Young Guard Chasseurs a Cheval, as well as a few Confederation of the Rhine hussar types. I'll probably use their Vistula Legion Lancers for the Young Guard Lancers.
