The Yolly Brothers...

All my Wild West minis are packed away in our summer house so I had to get me some new minis for our first Wild West game. The sulution was to with speed scratch build 6 gunslingers of plastic bits... Victrix old guard minis, Hats from Perry ACW and weapons from all sort of plastic kits, also added a riflescope and I ended up with the grizzlybjörnar Yolly Brothers... by the way they hate to be called Jolly... ;)

 

Sheriff´s Office build

One of my club mateys thought we should run a Wild West campaign at the club and minutes later I started to build a us Sheriff´s office...

The main structures i made out of Foam core board, adding thin structure wall paper for the jail walls and flore and used coffee sticks for the wooden flor and walls. I also built me a small gunrack with some leftoaver rifles etc. the table and chair are from Ziterdes.

Orcs, Elfs and Barbarians

Sorry for not posting much lately, even so i haven´t been idle but trying to give some time for several small forgotten projects. Below some pictures of a bunch of fantasy minis i been painting for Dragon Rampant.

First you have 12 orcs, think the minis are from Mantic games, I added some GW shields, then you have pictures of 18 Elfs, old and newer GW minis and last you have 4 barbarians from Zombicide Black Plauge.

Finnish War 1808-09 Swedish cavalry by Perry

The postman brought me some new shiny stuff tiday, the latest Perry Napoleonic Swedes for the Finnish War 1808-1809. This time Alan have focused on the main two cavalry units that was deployed in Finland, The Karelian dragoons and the Nyland dragoons. 

Both units had similar uniform and equipment but to differ them a bit more than theri headgear the Karelian dragoons are sculped with open jackets, looking greate in my mind. The Karelian dragoons have Bicorne and the Nyland dragoons have shako. 

The 3 minis in each code are delivered with 3 horses in different poses,  it is the same 3 horse poses in all four codes. 

Over all I really like the look of the Cavalry Alan has made and I´m so pleased that he started working on the Swedish Napoleonic range and that Martin at the swedish army museum can provide Alan with so good information regarding the uniforms. More Swedish minis to come I heard :)

Below a bunch of pictures of the minis right from the boxes.

From 1807 no Swedish cavalry carried carbines or musketoons but was armed with Saber and a pair of pistols.  

The pistols was manufactured in pairs. one Smoothbore and one Rifled and they also had a attachable stock that could be mountd on either of the pistols making them in to a small "carbine".
