SEVEN YEARS WAR FRENCH 28MM

A selection of Seven Years War French cavalry and mounted generals. I know they are not based, but still thought I would post them as they look nice. First up is the Bercheny Hussar Regiment.

Next is the Royal Cravattes Regiment 

Finally the Clermont Regiment and some mounted Generals and ADCs. All the figures are by Front Rank Figurines

XYSTON MINIATURES SUCCESSORS

 Successor Theurophoroi supported by Greek Psiloi archers.  Figures are 15mm Xyston Miniatures.

In the background are some teeny weeny 6mm Ancient Germans! These are Baccus minis, they just need bases and so I will photograph them properly when they are done.

AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE HESSIANS

A Brigade of Perry Miniatures Hessians from the American War of Independence. Now in the collection of Martin Scott of Herts Volunteers Wargames Club.

This infantry regiment is the Von Trumbach Infantry Regiment, the other regiment in the top picture is the Prinz Carl Infantry Regiment. The latter were featured in a previous post.

The Brigade's Grenadier Regiment - Von Block (Von Lengerke 1777) composed of the grenadiers of the Infantry Regiments Wutginau, Von Donop, Von Trumbach and Prinz Carl.

Hessian Jaegers - already featured in a previous post but they are such good figures and I really like the officer with the eye patch!

SCOLA GENTILLIUM SENIORUM

These are 28mm Late Roman heavy cavalry, Figures by Wargames Foundry. Now in the collection of Mick Hoddy of Herts Volunteers. Mick requested coloured lances rather than the usual brown, so I went for the green and cream/buff combination seen here. I think it looks rather nice if I do say so myself. It makes a nice change. I suppose it could be argued that there is no evidence for coloured lances being used. However there is also no evidence against it.
They will certainly stand out on the table top though!

28MM LATE IMPERIAL ROMANS

Some Legio Commitatensis - the legion with the red shields are Foundry and the legion with the yellow shields are Gripping Beast. The supporting dart throwers are Foundry. These guys have plain shields - the Late Roman period wasn't all about fancy pants shields but getting troops on the ground to defend the Roman way of life,  and to prevent it from disappearing under the waves of migrating Germanics - not that it would matter the Romans were already heavily influenced by Germanic/Saxon material and culture by now anyway. Now in the collection of Mick Hoddy of the Herts Volunteers Wargames Club.

GRIPPING BEAST 28MM ANGLO-SAXONS

 A nice unit of Gripping Beast Anglo-Saxons completed just before Christmas. These are the pictures I took before remembering to add the flags, but they still look ok. I accidentally deleted the pictures with the flags!

PRINZ CARL HESSIAN INFANTRY REGT 28MM PERRY MINIATURES AWI

Hessian Infantry Regiment Prinz Carl firing line - part of a commission for a Hessian American War of Independence Brigade. Figures are 28mm Perry Miniatures.  Flag is from Maverick Models.
