Pike blocks

I've now finished two Thirty Years War pike blocks. The Old Blue or Winckels regiment and the Yellow or "Hov"regiment. The Old Blue has one banner depicting a crowned silver lion. And another with " MIT GLYK ZIEHEN WIR DARAN UND ERLANGEN DEN SIC" written on it. And the Yellow regiment has one yellow banner with a white cross on it, and the black "liv" banner with the Swedish coat of arms on it.

 Wanted a shot of the drummer with his plumed mounteere cap.

Napoleonics

As almost every other historical wargamer out there I also have some Napoleonics. I chose to focus on the british from the 100-days campaign. In hindsight I kind of regret that I chose to start with the brits, but if I start something I want to see it through.

The 10th Hussars or the Prince of Wales own Hussars. This is the first row, I've got another row coming but hussars take a lot of time to get done.

The 33rd Regiment of Foot split into two blocks.

At last the famous 95th Rifles with two officers dressed in some fancy dolman coat.

The Scanian War

I've now finally had some time to make bases for my miniatures. My basing work and my basing techniques aren't the best but they will have to do. First of are some Swedish troops from the Scanian War who partook in the Battle at Lund which was fought on December 4, 1676. I therefore chose to try to do some snowy bases. The miniatures are all from Warfare miniatures. 

You will have to excuse the pictures, I don't own a good camera and am taking these photos with my phone.

The Dalecarlia regiment in blue and red, while the drummer and the NCOs are dressed in grey and red.

A general taking a message from another officer. I haven't decided who this general is supposed to be yet.

 This is the Hälsinge regiment in grey and "sea"green, while the NCO in the background is dressed in grey but with brown facings. Also, they are wearing "Karpuses" instead of regular hats. I've made them myself with green-stuff. Not really pleased with them, but they will have to do.

This is the Lifeguard cavalry, dressed in buff-coats and a cuirass while the trumpeter is dressed in blu and yellow.

Most of the hat-equipped soldiers are wearing a fist of straw in their hat for recognition. They foot regiments are also equipped with one "liv" or life banner and one company banner. The white banner were often the life banner among the Swedish regiments and could vary in what it depicted.
