Explosion markers and more casualties for Salute 2018

I have painted some more casualties for our salute game "Battle at Stäket 1719", both Swedish and Russian this time.

I also tried out to make me some explosion markers to represent the heavy bombardment the Russians troops experienced from the Swedish galleys. Thanks to Jay for an exellent explosion marker tutorial.

1st Batalion Södermanands regiment 1719

1st batalion of the Swedish Södermanlands Regiment finished for our salute 2018 demo game, Battle of Stäket 1719. Jesper are in the progress of painting the 2nd batalion.

The batalion are composed of 1x6 Forlorn Hope (command and colour platoon) and 4x12 Shot (musketeer companies) in total 54 minis.

All minis from Ebor Miniatures.

The Kings new Clothes

The King have got new clothes or at least some paint. Got the stunning minis, from my matey Sören at Eagle of Empire miniatures, of the Swedish King 1523-1560, Gustav Eriksson, House of Vasa some weeks ago, painted it right away but havent taken any pictures untill now. I choose to paint inspired by the Carl Larsson painting that inspired to the mini in it self.

Östgötatremännings regiment 1719

I have painted a bunch of minis for the Östgötatremännings regiment that also took part in the Battle of Stäket 1719. Most of them manned the oars on the galleys but at least 2 companies took part in the actual fightign with the Russians and was defending the unfinished fortification to the left of the Södermanlands regiment.

I shoose to depict them in Carpus to differate them from Södermanlands regiment. 97% of the minis are from Ebor miniatures and one of them are from Warfare miniatures.

1719 Artillery crew and Officers

Latest addition to our Salute 2018 project are Swedish artillery crew as well as some Officers. All minis except one are from Ebor miniatures, the last one are from Warfare miniatures.
