Tatars Finished

The eighteen Tatars are now prepped. 

Only the Pancerni and an Austrian dragoon regiment to prep and that is me Finished with the collection. If required I will then make the odd vignette but no more units.

I promised to show photos of the Schloss I commissioned from Total Battle Miniatures. I only took one photograph, if you wish to see more visit their Facebook page. Pete who made it said it would appear on Facebook following Partizan. 

The coach is 30mm and the tallest tower is over 19 inches.

Tatar Update

Managed to finish prepping fourteen of the eighteen needed.

I had forgotten how much gluing and milliputing was needed for each figure ...... the easy bit being the soldering of weapons to the miniature.

Two of the last four figures will be for the command stand. I will need to come up with something different from the previous three command stands.

Back to the Tatars

Back to prepping.

Last of the Tatar cavalry owing to having few suitable light horses. Although I have a bag full of figures!

Started another 18 figure unit. This will give me four such units when painted.

They are very colourful and a useful addition.

On the tabletop is a scenario for a future 'Tabletop Teasers' publication by Charles S. Grant.
Currently I have had eight moves. With some interesting outcomes.

Photos from a Campaign game.

Played many years ago. Not sure who won. I would have to look through the Campaign notes. The Campaign was fought over a number of years.

Hopefully, my new campaign will be as enjoyable. A friend from Germany has done some pen and ink sketches of 'Easterners' to add character to the Campaign. The Pancerni commander is a real treat.
