Small steps toward getting the first battalion done!
1. The minis are about half-way done with painting. I am finding that, for the mainly darkly-colored units, white primer is not such a good choice. The second battalion will be using black gesso for primer.
2. Bases - I forgot about the bases when I placed the order for the minis. So, I sent off an order with Litko - hopefully they will arrive later this month.
3. Rules - The delay in ordering bases corresponds with my indecision on a rules choice. In the end, I am going to try a modified Impetus set. Miniatures Wargames #322 has an interesting article on a conversion of Impetus to the AWI, which I am using as a starting point.
I'll post pics when I get something done!
Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWith their short, wide 'overtrousers' these WSS miquelets almost look as if from the Half-Continent!
Btw, is the bayonet known in the Half-Continent? DM Cornish's own illustrations show none attached close to the sword scabbard?
The illustrations might not show them, but bayonets are specifically mentioned in the books.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the pics and more info re the rules. I am really enjoying your blog.

I had meant to leave a comment concerning 28mm figures. I am tempted to try my hand at skirmishing- any suggestions for 28mm figures to use?

p.s I thought the Spanish reenactors were excellent and very appropriate...
