Vauban Fortress



Here is my Star Fort, or rather Vauban Fort.  Its just finished so not used yet but I do plan on getting a go with it soon.  I went for a simple 5 bastions and 1 outer bastion to cover the gate.  The whole thing is made of card with a layer of milliput over the top for texture 'brickwork'  There are 2 bridges to approach the fort and 1 bridge to enter it, all 3 can be cut/burnt if the enemy attack. 

WSS French engineers

 I have some new French engineers/Pioneers for my Spanish succession.  I based them with Gabions so they are in the act of building defences. 
 
 I also have some limbers for both Austrian and French, based in groups of 2 to match my cannon basing.

Necromancers Tower

 When I started the Fantasy project I decided to make 3 bits of terrain specifically for each army.  For my first but of tinkering I started with my undead army.  So I had to come up with an undead theme.  To start with I decided on a Necromancers tower.  The idea I had in mind was of the tower in Ian Livingston's book Titan, a book which in my  early youth killed my head with ideas.  The picture of a wizards tower in the book in profile with interior visible, and that's the inspiration for this one, minus the interior.
 The Tower has a number of features, it has a nice watchtower on top for the Necromancer to look out for whatever it is Necromancers look out for.    On the base I have a blue pool of water washing into it for a fresh drinking supply, and at the rear it has a green brown pond with a tentacle sticking out for all the bad stuff to be dropped into.
 There is a yellow stone living room, and a white marble enchanters room where the necromancer does all that stuff they like to do with dead bodies.  On the top roof there is an observatory, probably for looking at whatever stars need to be looked at.   Please also note the green slime dripping from the drainpipe. 
Overall I was most happy with this model, Although at first I painted it grey and it didn't look all that good so I repainted it yellow/sand and I thought that was just perfect.  I like the way the candles are burning too.  It took me 2 days to build, not including a day for painting.   Now onto my Graveyard.

6mm Spanish Sussession Austrian Army

 The Austrian army, Built for the Italian Campaign, and will be a defensive army, so I will need fortress guns to add to it, and it needs more infantry but its on my list of stuff to do.  I based the battalion guns on 2x3cm bases to slot in with the line infantry, you can see the results with my French army post.
 The full Austrian army, the sheep arnt part of it but fill in space!
 Austrian cavalry.

 Austrian Dragoons, so far they are the best units in the army, despite the fact they are only 4.
 Austrian command 1 Commander, 2 sub generals 2 lesser generals.
 Austrian cannon, 3 batteries.

6mm Spanish succession French Army

 Ok so its not a full army yet but its on its way.  I am doing the Italian campaign mostly thanks to mr baccus person [Peter], I was chatting to him about what to do with WSS, british/French etc and what campaign.  He said Italian campaign, so here I am.   I am making the French army as a attacking army, my Austrians defensive.
 French generals, 1 overall commander, 2 sub generals and 2 lower generals, depicted with different number of figures.
 French Mortars.  I decided to dig the cannon into position with gabions around them, simply as it looks cool.  The gabions are made from sticks with wire wrapped around and gravel stuck to the top. 
 French siege guns, dug in and ready to blast the Austrian defences.
 The French army in full
