Some pictures of painted (mainly) historical wargames figures. The name is a pun, not a boast.

28mm Landsknechts Swiss Wars Pike Unit and Handgunners
I think these are mostly Wargames Foundry, first painted because I fancied the challenge - then expanded into a unit bit by bit through picking up the odd figures here and there. I think I was working on the unit to catch up with some club members who were way ahead. Never did get it ready in time for the game they were planning.
Mostly painted by me - about 10 or so handgunners were picked up on ebay painted but unbased, although I also added a few flicks of the brush to these before varnishing and basing.
The flags are also handpainted - I'm no expert on this era (didn't even do basic buying for research) so I think I was just after general effect. If you can identify them please let me know. The pikes hurt.

Prussian Napoleonic Artillery 28mm Painted Connoisseur (?) Figures
28mm Prussian Napoleonic Foot Artillery - battery one. |
28mm Prussian Napoleonic Foot Artillery - battery two. |
These are two batteries of Prussian foot artillery as part of Bulow's 3rd Corps in 1813. Part of a plan to field these opposite Bertrand's IV corps. I think these are Connoisseur - but I'm not 100% sure. I took a look at this fab list of figure producers and I'm still not sure. It does though remind me how much I have coveted Calpe's artillery. (update: I now think these may be Elite miniatures, that takes me back!)
The two units are very similar although the bottom unit I decided to paint the gun barrels using non metal metallics.
Here are some more pictures (still need to work on depth of field - I just don't like using flash when photographing minis).
