Rolls Eyes "typical Flaky artistic type" strikes agian!

hello all ---------------------------------- yea its been over a year since my last post here artistic doldrums and depression strikes agian!!
but neh mind lets move on im in the mood agian!

What sort of mood?

a Flintloque mood!

so those who know me will know that i have moved from one end of the country to the other (kent to rural northen scotland/joccia) so most of my stuff is still in storage back in dover :(

but Hey Ho! neh mind i am resourceful (and i have internet connection)
so with the help of Ebay and the bring and buy table at skelp wargames show i present you my latest unit a 90% finished orcish light infantry Regiment "the 19th Border Rangers" a Joccia/Albion border regiment (hence the token Joccian Large rat)

and yes i could have stripped the white undercoat of them but i was feeling a little lazy
the models are a mix of 54008 62nd foot lt inf, 54010 62nd foot fusileers, 54014 45th foot  line
and the command group is a light inf officer from 54001 105th command, sargeant with (modded polearm) from the 54000 62nd foot command and the cornet blower is my favourite greatcoat wearer the spade bearer from the 54029 albion engineers pack

they are converted slightly below my standard uniform mix (1/3rd greatcoats 1/3rd forage caps/bareheaded 1/3rd full uniform)

the 19th Border Rangers

No of models =12
Unit Type = orcish light infantary

Headgear = stovepipe shako

Other details =  

models below

TA for know and a merry x-mas 

Bring out yer dead!

Converted orc casualties this is the start of my "bring out your dead" project!

thus 4 normal casulties models/markers (1 for each officer test) for each of my regiments so as each unit takes damage and a officer test is needed i will put a casualty down thus leaving a path of bodies as the armies proceed across the battlefield
note these are in addition to the counters that follow the units

and for the the special "ELTONS Crazy as fuck" touch i will make 3 single bodies and for the 4th "unit destroyed marker there will be a special bigger one with the units banner prominant and whats more they will be converted and painted so each unit has its own 4 models!!

Flintloque and cannons and such

Hello all as normal i have been nudged out of my lethargy by somebody else ------- but whatever the reason here i am with cannons to show

Grand duchy of barksburg interrupted 2

ok second of the units that has been distracting me

The Kanterburky Loyal volenteers

in england at the time of the Napoleonic wars there were 3 levels of militia each with slightly different "contracts" (based on ancient common laws etc)  the simplest was the various "militias" they were effectively conscripts chosen by electoral rolls but you could opt out in various ways (mostly paying a man to take your place) and most importantly you if asked to cross county boundaries even in war times you had the right to say no (and you couldn't be deployed abroad) and often dependant on county you got a tax break and were allowed to return to help with the harvest

next grade were fencibles and yeomanry (fencibles for foot and yeomanry for cavalry) these were militias who were often volunteers raised (and paid for) at the government's request
often by local notables most importantly these units could serve anywhere in the country but not abroad

the last kind are bands of "loyal volunteers" mostly infantry, (most often lights) these are true privately raised militia often in units of well below full battalion strength.
in fact there is a very good book covering the uniforms of many of the London "loyal volunteer" regiments ----- one of the distinctive features of these regiments is their love affair with the rakish Tarleton helmet

often all three types of militia were proven recruiting grounds for the various county regiments as the poor and young and bored "got a bit of soldiering" and imagined "this was for them" and joined up into the proper regiments

in the world of Valon its slightly different and militia regiments of all kinds get sent abroad all the time

so here are the first 6 of my second orcish militia regiment the kanterburky loyal volunteers based on the 54010 fusiliers i will pack out the uit with more of the 54010 and packs from the 54008 62nd lights
