Crimean war Russian

 These are from Itrregular miniatures alma battle pack which contains 3 armies, this is the russian side.
 In the pack you get 8 Regiments of infantry in spiked helmet, 5 regiments in round hat, 1 regiment of marines, 2 skirmishing regiments, 6 cannon and limbers and 5 generals.
The guy I did these for wanted them based to the rules that come with the army 'Warring Empires' as a rule system the rules arnt all that bad.  I based them to the rules meaning you get 3 strips to a regiment, if you based them 2 to a strip you could get alot more bases to the army but its down to the player to decide.

Overall I quite like the battlepack and certainly good value for your money.

Crimean War French

 The crimean war french in the Alma Battlepack are much the same as the british withy a few small differences.
 With the french contingent in the pack you get 3 cannon, 3 skirmish regiments 6 Foot Regiments, 1 Zouave regiment and 4 generals

Crimean War British

 
I recently got the Crimean war Alma Battlepack from Irregular miniatures, in it you get 3 armies, russian, british and french. These are the british part of the pack.
 In the pack you get 6 guns with limbers, 10 regiments of line infantry, 5 light infantry regiments, 6 generals.

28mm Saxons

 These guys are from gripping beast and much the same as their vikings from the same range, in fact on the sprue there is little difference in figure. 
 there are 44 figs in  the box and 1 command of 3 included in that, the commander has a cloak which looks ok, and a standard and horn.  All easy to put together.
 the box fully assembled and painted.

Vikings!

 
A Pack of 6mm Vikings from Baccus.

These are a new range for Baccus and well over due. The figs are lovely and all mixes of poses which is always better than boring Napoleonic's all in rank and file. Don't get me wrong I like Napoleonic but as a painter they are rather dull to paint, very little variety.

French 1st Hussars

 
French Hussars of the 1st Regiment. Apart from the fact that they are easy to paint I just like the look of the 1st Regiment, The Figs are from Lancashire Games and these were ordered without command which is a shame as Hussar Command is what makes French hussars look so good, the reverse colours and mixture of dress between the command contrast well with the rest of the regiment, but here am I talking about what you cant see.


2mm Scale American Civil War

 
Here are Two complete American Civil war armies in 2mm Scale. I cannot remember how many figures but in 2mm who cares, they are all 2mm Irregular Miniatures figures based 3 strips to a base for infantry and 2 cannon with 2 limbers for cannon, command is different numbers of HQ spread to fill out Corps commands and overall C-in-C.
The Scenery is made of moss Flock glued to card for trees and scratch built buildings.
 
A close up of the Union army with zoarves to the Front, 4 batteries of cannon and 4 commands with 1 HQ.
 
The Confederate army is slightly smaller again with zoarves.
