Just finished reading a fantastic book on Waterloo, specifically the defence of La Haye Sainte. @warzan if you guys have La Haye Sainte terrain in-studio you should definitely check out this very short (two and a half hour audiobook) book and you’ll have John chained to the table painting minis for the next month. Small scale skirmishing, desperate fighting over a few holes in a wall and at least half a dozen scenario ideas for Sharp Practice alone.
“The Longest Afternoon: The 400 Men Who Decided the Battle of Waterloo” by Brendan Simms
I finished painting Sir Harry Paget Flashman VC, KCB, KCIE from Warlord Games based on the GMF Flashman Novels.
Flashman is a coward who accidentally does things that make him look heroic. For example he was in a fort under siege, he broke down in tears blubbering then ran out to the flagpole and took down the British flag in an attempt to surrender the fort. He got knocked out in disgust by the Fort’s commander. The fort was then stormed and everyone besides Flashman was killed. They found him wounded, covered in blood and holding the British Flag in a pile of British corpses. They assumed he took the flag down to save it and since no one was around to challenge his story he went with it.
@rayzryr everything’s coming along really nicely, do the bases come like that or are those custom?
@sundancer very good work on the Legion stuff. They did a great job sculpting Bobba Fett he looks a lot my dynamic than any of the other heroes. I can’t think of a more nightmare combo than Black and White. Bravo sir!
@oriskany Battle of Hamel sounds very cool. If I remember correctly that’s the first time US Troops fought under the command of a foreign nation. Of course as an Australian I may be slightly biased in choosing an Australian Battle 🙂
Anyone who hasn’t checked out the brilliant project absolutely should. https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1288632/
@horati0nosebl0wer Drums in the Ohio Valley look good I would also add Galloping Major, Crusader Miniatures, Redoubt Enterprises and Warlord Games to anyone looking for great skirmish game minis.
