15mm Seven Years War (In Canada)

I just hauled these out because they happened to be in the box next to some of the other stuff.  I have had these in my collection for decades and only got round to re-basing them last year, There had been talk ages ago (probably a couple of years) now of doing a Maurice campaign on the back of the Long street one. but things got sidetracked with CoC I think. Either way, I'd looked these  guys out and based them a bit better than the cardboard they'd originally been attached to.

So here's the Boss man and his troops of the French La Reine regiment posted in Canada. (So I was told)

They'd need filled out to make a proper force, but I'd been thinking Canada just so I could add some Indians to the force, replace skirmishers for Artillery/Cavalry in the ratios thing.

In Her Majesties Name Ramses 2nd

Last one for this batch, I picked these up at Claymore last year and finally got round to finishing off bases recently.

I'll use these along similar lines to the Followers of Ra, it'll just be a Ramses 2nd and some less culty followers.

In Her Majesties Name Okhrana

I had to look up what this batch were called in the game as all I could remember was the Russian secret service. Either way, a bit more on the steampunk side of the IHMN but here's my Valhallan Imperial guard that I used alongside an old ratty shaman and his big wolf. (Not pictured)

Almost all of that lovely heavy ordnance never got used, except the Congreave Rocket Launcher (Missile Launcher) that saw one appearance at the end of the campaign and missed. But then again, whichever idiot of a boss saw fit to send some Siberians into the desserts of northern Africa is beyond me. Although the natives seemed quite fond of the furry hats for those cold desert nights.

In Her Majesties Name Police

Catching up on taking and posting some of the stuff that I've finished off last year and this year and wanting to document what I actually have available to use for games in separate posts.

So first up In Her Majesties Name a Police force, I'd bought these a while ago and was rather disappointed to find out when I got them home that when they said 25mm, they actually meant 25mm. (An unusual occurrence these days, given that often 28mm are nearer 35)

So a bit on the small side compared to everything else I have for the game.

Rogue Stars Ready to go

We're doing a big game of Rogue Stars at club tomorrow (well lots of 1v1's) to learn the rules and now that my PC is working again, here's the 2 crews that I've put together for Ric and myself to use.

First up some new miniatures for me from Hasslefree using their names for now. A Mercenary Crew. Left to right, Drax (Modern Survivor) Weapons master, Sola (Fantasy Dwarven Pirate?) techie t-leaf, Vic (pilot) Leader and medic, Rattie (GW Ratling) the Sniper, Oscar (Modern Survivor) Munitions specialist.

 So I managed to completely skip thier Scifi range when I got these because the scifi ones I wanted were all out of stock. So maybe another time.

Next up Star cops (Void Vasa miniatures) Again Left to right, Archangel (recon), Suppressor Sergeant (Riot/Close Support) Knight of Spirit, Leader/medic/psionic, Suppressor (Riot/Close Support), Commander X (Mobile/Close Support)

I've got a few other groups I could use for this, More Vasa infantry that could easily be a Militia, Escher gangers that could be Pirates, Squats that would be Miners, Necrons to be robots, and Orks that could be aliens alongside my Krogan and genestealers or something.

But we'll see how the game goes first.  Because it's so trait driven it seems like it'll be really hard to remember what everything does, despite the mechanics being fairly simple so I expect it'll take a few games to bed things in and tweak traits as I've probably picked stuff that won't work with the models or something.

Germans for CoC

In the grand tidy up and catch up I finally got round to flocking the bases of my last squad of Germans, leaders and support options. So here are the obligatory washed out pictures. New phone does not mean better pictures, lets call it user error.

 The big picture, 3 squads of 10 men, including a Junior leader and an LMG team.

Senior Leader options

2 man sniper team

Werfer of flamen, panzershreck and panzerfaust.

I'm not sure I need much more for these, tentatively of the Luftwaffe, with a squad of Fallschirmjager (sp?) and the rest standard troops, I could perhaps do with getting another 3 LMG's and an MMG, so as able to field different periods but probably not necessary yet.

Next I'm sorting through my dark ages stuff, to see what else I need to make up units/groups for Dux Brit and Saga Forces as I'm sure I was a group/part of a group short for 2 Dux forces.

Sharp Practice British

Well it's been a while and in amongst the tidying up of other projects, I finally managed to finish the last group for my Napoleonic British, so I've now got both sets ready to play. (Yay) Just need to do another couple of Deployment/objective markers and perhaps investigate some support options, but that's how it goes.

 The full set, 4 groups of line/light infantry, 2 groups of rifles/light skirmishers, 5 officers, 2 drummers, 1 colour party and a deployment point.

 2 Officers and an NCO for the infantry groups, there are 2 drummers as well.

 2 Rifle Officers, one with his rifle in hand, heavy sabre and his blue french cavalry trousers.

And an almost passable close up.
