At the moment I have 4x16 javelin men, I plan to turn two of these units back into War band. The reason being is I want at least three units of slingers, so I'm trying to limit the amount of forward units on the field. Also I need to produce a lot more cavalry but with my new found love for dipping, this won't be a problem.
I'm sure there are many of you out there that recognise the style of these flags straight away. A Little while ago after hitting many dead ends in search of French Battalion Fannions, I came across Flag Dude's web-site and sent him an e-mail. Well the results have finally arrived and I was very happy. I even got to say which Regiments I was making and have the Battalion flags tailored to fit. Excellent work. I couldn't help but order some more after the first batch, only this time went for some Dutch, Nassau and Belgium standards. Another reason I like this approach Is that it saved me many hours researching and fiddling about. Highly recommend a visit to the Flag dude.
French heavy cavalry don't come much heavier than this...the Cuirassier. Big men on big horses, the ultimate shock weapon.
Finished Cannon balls painted black and dry brushed with a little muddy brown.
I had actually been thinking of making a few Cannon balls out of Miliput to use on the bases but these tiny Ball barrings are a much better option and I'll never run out of them either. Hours of sculpting saved by a lucky find.
A weighted bag used for holding camera equipment split open today at work and to my surprise, thousands of tiny ball barings rolled out. When I picked a few up I thought they looked perfect for 28mm Cannon balls, so I borrowed some.
