Well its been a while since I updated my blog, so I thought I would start with the first figure of my latest project.<br />
Here is Gaudenz Von Matsch, Landeshauptmanner of the Tyrol, the last representative of his powerful noble family. He was close counsel to the Arch duke Sigismund of Austria and the Tyrol and most importantly to me leader of the Imperial army at the beginning of the War of Roverto in 1487.<br />

I have been researching this war on and off for the last couple of years, sadly there is not a lot of information in English, but i feel I have enough on the main players to start putting my plans to the the paint brush. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
The war against the Venetian city Rovereto in the valley of
the river Adige in the Trentino region of Italy, started with the imprisonment of Venetian merchants and their goods in
Bozen, Tyrol in April 1487. The Austrian military commander was Gaudenz von
Matsch, who at that time was in high favour with Sigismund of Tyrol. The Imperial army consisted of lots of soldiers of fortune of all classes, nobles and freemen mainly from Swabia and also some Swiss infantry. Only a few infantry were from the Tyrol, like those from Landeck. After a long bombardment by artillery the city fell on the 30th May 1487. It was the sack of this
city that alarmed the Venetians and they send their best commander Roberto di San
Severino (you'll here more about him later) to deal with the situation.

Sadly Gaudenz Von Matsch was not present for the main battle of the war, as he was identified in August
1487 as one of the “evil councilors” who were plotting to pledge land and
castles to the dukes of Bavaria. He left the army with his personal troops to secure his own lands. From what i can gather he failed and his lands and properties were confiscated and given to the Von Trapp family.<br />

The figure itself is from perry miniatures war of the roses range, with a head from gripping beast plastic dark age warriors box set. As you can see i've tried to find a suitable figure to match ny research and its great to see some of his armour still survives in the Metropolitan Museum of Art Steve hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183494789294939320.post-86399672546648271322016-04-24T11:28:00.001+01:002016-04-24T11:28:18.723+01:00R.A.G.E<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>Battle of Chalons Summary:</strong><br />
In
the years preceding 450, Roman control over Gaul and its other outlying
provinces had grown weak. That year, Honoria, the sister, of Emperor
Valentinian III, offered her hand in marriage to Attila the Hun with the
promise that she would deliver half the Western Roman Empire as her
dowry. Long a thorn in her brother's side, Honoria had earlier been
married to Senator Herculanus in an effort to minimize her scheming.
Accepting Honoria's offer, Attila demanded that Valentinian deliver her
to him. This was promptly refused and Attila began preparing for war.<br />
Attila's war planning was also encouraged by the Vandal king Gaiseric who wished to wage war on the Visigoths.<br />

Marching across the Rhine in early 451, Attila was
joined by the Gepids and Ostrogoths. Through the first parts of the
campaign, Attila's men sacked town after town including Strasbourg,
Metz, Cologne, Amiens, and Reims. As they approached Aurelianum
(Orleans), the city's inhabitants closed the gates forcing Attila to lay
siege. In northern Italy, Magister militum Flavius Aetius began
mustering forces to resist Attila's advance.<br />
<br />

Moving into southern
Gaul, Aetius found himself with a small force consisting primarily of
auxiliaries. Seeking aid from Theodoric I, king of the Visigoths, he was
initially rebuffed. Turning to Avitus, a powerful local magnate, Aetius
finally was able to find assistance. Working with Avitus, Aetius
succeeded in convincing Theodoric to join the cause as well as several
other local tribes. Moving north, Aetius sought to intercept Attila near
Aurelianum. Word of Aetius' approach reached Attila as his men were
breaching the city's walls.<br />
Forced to abandon the attack or be
trapped in the city, Attila began retreating northeast in search of
favourable terrain to make a stand.<br />

Reaching the Catalaunian Fields, he halted, turned,
and prepared to give battle. On June 19, as the Romans approached, a
group of Attila's Gepids fought a large skirmish with some of Aetius'
Franks. Despite foreboding predictions from his seers, Attila gave the
order to form for battle the next day. Moving from their fortified camp,
they marched towards a ridge that crossed the fields.</div>

Playing for
time, Attila did not give the order to advance until late in the day
with the goal of allowing his men to retreat after nightfall if
defeated. Pressing forward they moved up the right side of the ridge
with the Huns in the center and the Gepids and Ostrogoths on the right
and left respectively. Aetius' men climbed the left slope of the ridge
with his Romans on the left, the Alans in the center, and Theodoric's
Visigoths on the right. With the armies in place, the Huns advanced to
take the top of the ridge. Moving quickly, Aetius' men reached the crest
first.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKboeO3Th1FrAQR3tsxbTBn3Eko8IBC1YSPe83nhYMiRSBW3WTBA5ZWFxAfXRogsVwLE2bXJkNRaJUHfzsCKzAcIkKvzYkBXIZX7e1borjhBZ86AGUWlyslzw91-BC23GmSq8zNPQvV0g/s1600/chalons6.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKboeO3Th1FrAQR3tsxbTBn3Eko8IBC1YSPe83nhYMiRSBW3WTBA5ZWFxAfXRogsVwLE2bXJkNRaJUHfzsCKzAcIkKvzYkBXIZX7e1borjhBZ86AGUWlyslzw91-BC23GmSq8zNPQvV0g/s320/chalons6.gif" width="238" /></a></div>
<br />
Taking the top of the ridge, they repulsed Attila's
assault and sent his men reeling back in disorder. Seeing an
opportunity, Theodoric's Visigoths surged forward attacking the
retreating Hunnic forces. As he struggled to reorganize his men,
Attila's own household unit was attacked forcing him to fall back to his
fortified camp. Pursuing, Aetius' men compelled the rest of the Hunnic
forces to follow their leader, though Theodoric was killed in the
fighting. With Theodoric dead, his son, Thorismund, assumed command of
the Visigoths. With nightfall the fighting ended.<br />

<br />
The next morning, Attila prepared for the expected Roman attack. In the
Roman camp, Thorismund advocated assaulting the Huns, but was dissuaded
by Aetius. Realizing that Attila had been defeated and his advance
stopped, Aetius began to assess the political situation. He realized
that if the Huns were completely destroyed, that the Visigoths would
likely end their alliance with Rome and would become a threat. To
prevent this, he suggested that Thorismund immediately return to the
Visigoth capital at Tolosa to claim his father's throne before one of
his brothers seized it. Thorismund agreed and departed with his men.
Aetius used similar tactics to dismiss his other Frankish allies before
withdrawaling with his Roman troops. Initially believing the Roman
withdrawal to be a ruse, Attila waited several days before breaking camp
and retreating back across the Rhine.<br />

The armies are reputed to be huge. between 30000-50000 on each side.<br />
We didn't quite match that, but a rough guesstimate is around 5000 figures in total! <br />

I've been working on these for some months on and off, mainly testing different colours to see what I felt looked best for a faded tropical uniform. I'm happy with the results and have quite a few more painted ready for basing.<br />
The desert war, research wise was new for me and the first model I bought was the 251. Which turned out to be a bit of a school boy error as apparently it seems none were used in North Africa..<br />
My initial idea for this project is to do a platoon of DAK, followed by Brits and Italians for North Africa, then maybe move to Crete or Italy. The rules I will be using are <a href="http://toofatlardies.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=124&zenid=0b37a01540896510150e82c393b05693" target="_blank">Chain of Command</a> by TFLs. Which have been sold to me by my friend Pat as the best rules he's ever played.<i> </i>I think this is because even if you roll low on the command dice it can be useful for you ;)<br />
You can see some of his lovely stuff on his <a href="http://wargamingwithsilverwhistle.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">BLOG</a><br />
<br />

All 28mm Perry miniatures.

The other weekend I popped to Nottingham for a weekend with Perrys and friends.<br />
Lunch time Friday I met with the twins for a nice lunch in one of Englands oldest pubs dating back to 1189AD and set in to caves outside Nottingham castle. Later on we had some LAN gaming fun using Battlefield, with some 2 on 2 action. Followed by a few beers in the local.<br />
Saturday morning <a href="http://stuartsworkbench.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Stuart</a> , <a href="http://je-lay-emprins.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Simon</a> and I were treated to a sculpting master class by the masters themselves, <a href="http://perry-miniatures.com/" target="_blank">Alan and Michael Perry!</a> In which we learned many little tricks to help us to convert miniatures and up our game (some pics of what I managed to do soon).<br />
Then on Saturday afternoon we popped to Michaels wargames room and met up with Aly Morrison, Dave Andrews and rick Priestly for a game of Hail Caesar. <br />

The scenario was a fictitious battle where the Lancastrian English crossed the channel to teach the Burgundians a lesson for supporting the Yorkists.<br />
The English troops were supplied by Michael Perry, the Burgundians by Simon Chick and Dave Andrews. My Italian force had been left behind in the boot of my car :( <br />

The overall battle plan for the Burgundians was for the centre to hold whilst the two flanks with most of the heavy cavalry charged forward to push the English back to the port. I was playing the overall commander in the centre and after as few turns of patiently waiting for the flanks to engage (bad dice rolls were slowing down the advance) and now coming under a withering hail from the English longbowmen, I sounded the advance and charged forward with my infantry. This started off well routing 2 units of Michaels bill and bows. Sadly was the grind started i started to suffer to many casualties, this along with the losses due to the longbows as I advanced saw off my attack and the Burgundian centre began to collapse. <br />

Sometimes a range comes out that makes you feel as excited as a fat kid in the queue at Krispy Kremes. This is it for me but with fewer calories. Luckily for me a got to paint these my business, next i'll be painting some for plain old fun!<br />
At the weekend I will be researching for an interesting OOB circa 1810, to give me a nice mix of battalions and a regiment of light dragoons wearing the tarleton! To face these I will be planning on finishing off my Confederation of the Rhine regiments backed up with some French combined grenadier battalions and light infantry. <br />

<i>This range is being extended back to 1800.
The codes up to BH 67 have been designed for the Waterloo campaign, but
can be used prior to that particular campaign. These include
Highlanders, Riflemen, Light Infantry, Light Dragoons, Royal Horse
Artillery and named Staff officers.</i><br />
<i>
The extended range will encompass the British troops who served in
Egypt, India, South Africa, Denmark, Hanover, Italy, North and South
America, the West and East Indies as well as the Peninsula.<br />
Remember the plastic British Infantry (BH1) and Hussar set (BH 80)
cover the whole 1808-15 period, whereas the plastic Light Dragoon set
(BH 90) covers the entire period.<br />
There will be a separate range for the auxillaries who fought alongside the British during the early period. </i><i><span class="contentText"></span></i>Steve hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183494789294939320.post-42351869311366620632015-07-05T22:06:00.000+01:002015-07-05T22:06:09.900+01:002nd Nassau Usingen Regiment <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The second battalion of the 2nd Nassau Usingen regiment were one of the first units to make contact with the French in the 100 days campaign. At the village of Frasnes just before 6pm on the 15th of June 1815, a lone horseman was seen approaching their position. He turned out to be a trooper belonging to the Prussian 4th (1st Silesian) Hussars, who was separated from his regiment during their retreat from Gosselies. He was unarmed, covered in wounds and blood. He told Captain Wirths of the Nassau Usingen regiment, that the French would probably break through to where the battalions picquet was standing very soon.<br />

Not long after parties of Uhlans were seen approaching, they failed to satisfy the challenge of the sentries and were peppered with musket shots from the marksmen, hidden behind hedges and walls.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A combat ensued and with the help of a battery of guns the Uhlans were kept at bay for a while. After around half an hour of fighting the Nassauers were still holding their own against the lancers of the Imperial Gaurd. They still had some men in the village, the main body of the battalion was on the heights, with the gun battery overlooking Frasnes.<br />

<br />
Before long however it looked like the main body of the lancers were preparing to bypass the village altogether, across open fields to the west of the Charleroi road. As they closed The Uhlans were pushed back with heavy losses by musketry and canister from the heights.<br />

Fearful of being cut off by a flanking movement Major Von Normann decided it was time to pull back to where the remainder of the brigade were hopefully taken up positions at Les Quatre Bras.<br />
As they were withdrawing the French made an impetuous charge, which was stopped in its tracks by more canister.<br />

As they retreated towards Quatre Bras, the artillery remained on the road with the battalion in two halves on both sides of the road, which was in a deep cutting. They marched in closed columns harassed by swarms or guard lancers. The guard lancers encircled them and executed many charges which were repulsed by the battalion. The lost no men during the retreat, but 39 were killed, wounded or missing durinf the fight in Frasnes including Captain Von Muller,<br />

Which led my brigade of Scottish veterans to bug out of the town they were holding, instead of reinforcing the melee they were involved in. I decided it wasn't my tactic nous that failed, it was the fact that none of the figures I was commanding were mine. They are all owned by my good friend John. Who risks the car journey with thousands of nicely painted troops in his boot to my house for the game. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I have decided to start rectifying this one small step at a time. The first step is a new commander (the last one was obviously cashiered). And what better officer to lead your force than Major general Sir Denis Pack. Pack got around, He was commander of the 71st foot during the capture of the Cape of Good hope, which at the time was a colony of the Batavian Republic (a French Vassal). He was in the Peninsula 1808, and the disastrous Walcheren Expedition, 1809.<br />Pack was back in the Peninsula in 1810 and fought at Rolica, Vimiero, Coruna, Bussaco, Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, Vittoria, the Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthez and Toulouse. His Peninsula medal held seven clasps coming second only to Noseys nine clasps. <br />During the battle of Waterloo he commanded the 9th Brigade under Picton, which consisted of <span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">3rd/1st Regiment of Foot (the Royal Scots). 42nd regiment of foot (the Black watch), the 2nd/44th (East Essex) regiment of foot and the 92nd regiment of foot (Gordon Highlanders).</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">its not much, but its a start..... </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">next will be some of Perry Miniatures new plastic light dragoons wearing the Tarleton!</span><br />

Well its 200 years since the battle of Waterloo, John and I were planning to go along to the bicentenary events, but sadly could not make it for one reason or another.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So instead of sulking we played a game! not quite Waterloo as we decided to keep it to a manageable size for an afternoons gaming.<br />
So here is the battle of Waterlooville<br />
<br />
We used General de Brigade rules and points system. I was leading the British defending the town against the French trying to take it. The British had 550 points to the French 700 point army. We also limited the amount of cavalry to 1 regiment per 4 infantry battalions.<br />
One thing i noticed straight away when selecting my force was. You don't get a lot for 550 points!<br />
after throwing away my first draft of my force i settled for this<br />
<br />
1st brigade<br />
4 battalions of Scottish infantry<br />
2nd brigade<br />
3 battalions of British infantry<br />
3rd brigade<br />
a regiment of 12 light dragoons <br />

On the other flank the 90 ligne charge the 71st who give a well aimed volley which fails to stop the French, before retiring behind the 92nd.<br />

Turn 7<br />
after giving a good volley the 92nd see off the French by the bayonet, this routs and disperses the 90 ligne who had taken nearly 50% casualties.<br />
The 19th ligne reinforce their comrades assaulting the town but find it to hard to kick in enough doors with the wily Scots fight on, although out numbered and hold the French off.<br />
the cuirassiers again aim for the light dragoons and hit them with enough impetus to see them off. this would of left the British right flank open and easy pickings for the heavy horse. But they obviously had worked to hard, blowing they retreat again behind their lines to recover.<br />
With the dispersal of a battalion from the French 1st brigade, the rest of the brigade assaulting the town has to test for brigade morale. Luckily for the French they are far to concerned with whats going on in the streets to care.<br />

<br />Turn 8. </div>
<div>
The British win the initiative and believe the time is right to see off the attack by the now weakened brigade. Jubilant in their victory the Gordon highlanders are chomping at the bit to get involved in the street fight and look on with blood lust in their eyes as they see the generals ADC galloping over to the colonel.</div>
<div>
So imagine the surprise when they have the order to retreat just as victory was in their grasp! there must be some mistake said McDougal to McCloud?? As the British start an orderly withdraw, as the French take the now empty townhouses and the field of battle.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<i>yes i rolled a double one when trying order the brigade to assault and see off the French. This caused command confusion which resulted in the my brave Scottish laddies retiring to the rear, with much cursing and gesticulating towards their hated foe. i guess with all the noise of battle the order "see them off lads" could easily be missed heard as "let's be off lads" </i></div>

<div>
A great fun days gaming was had, and even though I lost, it was just to funny to get upset about.</div>
<div>
bitter me? nah.... </div>
<div>
I believe as they are all Johns miniatures that there must be some kind of conspiracy, so i best get cracking with my huge pile of lead. Then i'll have no excuses!<br /><br /></div>

Here is a picture of the beginnings of my Venetian force, which is going to be this years project for my personal collection. All the figures above are from perry miniatures European armies range. A mix of plastic and metals miniatures, With the odd metal Italian head on a plastic body. I had great fun painting these and they make a refreshing change from all the black powder era goodness I have been painting lately. The flags are from Petes flags , are printed on cotton and I can highly recommend them. I have around 60 more troops all prepped up and waiting in the line. </div>

I'd have liked to name this post 28mm Viking army, as I've been working on and off on this collection for over 10 years. It peaked at around 300 figures and currently stands at roughly 70. <br />
So not quite an army more just a small raiding party. <br />

So today I was playing with the lighting in my room and thought I would take a few pictures to see what effect my new lights have. The majority of the troops are from Gripping beast with a couple of Crusader miniature beserkers thrown in.<br />

Damned finecast!!<br />
painted these boys up, probably took as long to clean the castings and fill the little holes in the resin as they did to paint. But they eventually turned out very well I thinkSteve hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2183494789294939320.post-66412518845217650502015-02-22T18:35:00.001+00:002015-02-22T18:35:22.733+00:0028mm Republican Roman Cavalry<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I painted this unit of Republican Roman cavalry for <a href="http://www.victrixlimited.com/index.php" target="_blank">Victrix</a> last year. They are actually metal <a href="http://aventineminiatures.co.uk/" target="_blank">Aventine </a>Miniatures figures which have been especially designed to fit in with the fantastic Victrix plastic Republican Roman range. They are available as part of the army deals on the Victrix site or separately on Aventines. They are finished off nicely with <a href="http://littlebigmenstudios.co.uk/catalog/" target="_blank">LBMS</a> transfers, which are splendid as usual. </div>

All the figures are from the latest Perry miniatures plastic box set, with a couple of slight conversions and some extra bits taken out of the previous medieval boxes. <br />

I have to say these were a real joy to paint and a welcome break from all the Napoleonic miniatures I have been painting lately. The men at arms go together real easy with lots of variety and options. One point I need to remember on the next batch, is to make sure I have cleaned up the mould lines properly. There are very few and the casting is excellent, but due to me being impatient and rushing I missed some obvious ones that didn't stand out until I had started the highlights on the armour.<br />
I have varied the metal quite a bit from dark unpolished to bright silver to add variety and show the more successful condottiero. Although i'm not sure you can tell in the photo.<br />

I have also tried to show a lot of movement on the base, something basing for Impetus allows you to do. The base is 120mm by 60mm. With the charge being lead by the chap without a helmet. Whilst the knight wearing the tall plumed helmet points out a worthy adversary in the enemy ranks and calls out a (somewhat muffled) challenge.<br />
