The Men Who Would Be Kings: Paraguayan Irregulars

 Bit of a delay posting these but here is the next unit for the Triple Alliance project:

This time its a unit of Irregular Infantry to represent the extra recruits added to the core of more professional soldiers at the start of the war. I used mostly the models with chipas and mixed up the shirts to show the disheveled state of the army. 

The Men Who Would Be Kings: Second Paraguayan Infantry

Busy busy this last week, I've not had any time to pick up a paint brush since last Monday! Here is my second unit of Regular Infantry for my Paraguayan army for MWWBK:

My flags have also arrived now so in addition to getting this unit done i went back and added the flag to the first infantry:

The other flag pack does not have the crest in the middle so will be perfect to differentiate the Regulars from the Irregular infantry which are my next two units.  

The Men Who Would Be Kings: War of the Triple Alliance Project

So this is the start of one of my two big historical based gaming projects for the year, the War of the Triple Alliance! First unit of Paraguayans that will be regular infantry in the game:

 

I'm still waiting on my flags to arrive from Flags of War so cant have them battlefield dressed quite yet haha... 12 down and 48 to go!

Man O War: Khorne and Slaanesh Fleets

First completed project of the year... Till i get round to sorting out the sails with transfers or paper sails hehe:

Khorne Death Galleys

Khorne Iron Sharks

Khorne Bloodship

Slaanesh Death Galleys

Slaanesh Hellship

Slaanesh Hellrammers

Slaanesh Hell Slicers

At some point i will also get round to adding the rest of the Nurgle and Tzeentch options, but for now I'm happy with the fleet as is and i want to get some games in with it.

Happy New Years and welcome to 2023!

Happy New Years people! 

Hopefully this year will see more painting and blog content from me, I've struggled with free time a lot this year as I've taken on more stuff from work and ongoing things at home.

I managed to paint 636 models in 2022, covering a lot of Baratheon's, Alpha Legion, Star Wars, Warcaster, Flames of War and of course Pike and Shotte.

Pike and Shotte was the big project of the year and a thoroughly enjoyable one it was too, I've had a few games of it in the back end of the year and its such a fun system to play. 

I plan to continue on the historical train in 2023 by finally starting some South American gaming in the form of armies for the War of the Triple Alliance using The Men Who Would Be Kings rules from Osprey and Perry Miniatures fantastic metals... The Paraguayans are on order already haha.

My second big project for the year is an army of Medieval Spanish for my friends new project On Bloody Ground, a generic ranks and flank ruleset with period specific plug in modules for different eras such as Vikings and The Reconquista!

Some more star wars and man o war will also be appearing, and continuations of existing Baratheon and MoTU projects as and when releases occur.
