Jim Wasley Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I picked of these box sets of the Marlborough's wars,I have started the Infantry of the Grand Alliance first and these are in the British colours,they are reasonably easy to paint,I have one figure finished to show how they look,and in the middle of this I am painting the Riders of Rohan and their horses. cheers Jim 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Top work as always Jim, I painted a few boxes of Rohirrim (spelling), for a friend s wargame army and enjoyed them immensely. The Grand Alliance infantry look good as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wasley Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Completed more of my Marlborough's War figures,Infantry,Cavalry and Artillary,the Artillary set is a real treat to work with and paint,it comes with some nice extras,barrels,buckets,cannon balls and a choice of cannon barrel size(I chose the 12 pounder),I finished 1 to show you and the other 2 are differnt heads and uniform colours,Cheers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wasley Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Just some more progress,on the Austrian Napoleonic Landwehr figures have them all primed ready for paint,will have to put the paint brush in top gear to clear space on my work bench,I have figures coming from all directions and eras,still like the hat on these figures kind of looks like the Aussie slouch hat.Cheers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I hadn't realised how nice the Malburian figures are, I thought they were a re-boxing of some other, rather poor figures from a now defunct manufacturer. Great work Jim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work Jim. They are not to bad,the horses and figures a nice touch,the plastic is a little soft and there was a few sink holes in the top of the Landwehr and Shako hats, but good to work with,it would have been nice to have a few more Grenadier heads,but you do end up with a lot of spares,backpacks and heads.the box has a total of 54 figures along with the 2 horses and riders,to me the horses are well sculped.and for the WarLord Marlborough figures the Artillery figures a very well sculped,and the Infantry are nice and very easy to paint,I plan on getting more and paint more colours as they look great on mass,I'm just not keen on the horses they look a little to small more like a pony,but this may have been the type of horses used?Cheers.P.S. I took some close up pics of the Victrix for you,so you can see the detail.I also added a pic of the Woodland Indians I just finished,Cheers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I have to ask Jim, where/ what do you do with all your miniatures? Do you have the same dilemma as model builders? Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Jim, the Victrix figures look really good, my Wargamming buddy who I did the Waterloo game with has a few boxes of the Victrix on his painting table.and is really looking forward to the Perry plastic Austrian Cavalry being released . MY Austrians are all old Wargames Foundry and as I have 1100 plus figures I'm not looking for more! You are right about the Warlord horses, their plastic Infantry re great but the horses are not up to that standard. Take care mate Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the same dilemma as model builders? Stuart Thanks Stuart,Yes it is a pain I have well over 200 AFV in 1/35 and almost as many aircraft,also some auto models,and my collection in small figures is growing,everything is on shelves in the garage,My 2 daughters have no children so no Grandchildren to pass them onto,and there are no model or game/clubs in this area to share the hobby with,and I"m find with the figures is I have so many spare parts left after a build.I could try and sell some but I really enjoy them,and selling is not the reason why I build them,I've been retired for many years now and it keeps the grey cells active,did read another modeller was going to melt them down and make a coffin out of them,I guess it's a dilemma we all have in some way,but it's a good dilemma,so I will keep building/painting,putting shelves up and leave the dilemma to others after I'm gone 😀. Cheers Jim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Wasley Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 I've finished all my Grand Alliance and Sun King figures,I may buy in time one more box of Infantry and paint them in white with red edging,So as not to bore you I have combined them all together,Cheers Jim. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Really nicely done, Jim both the painting and the presentation. I do like the diorama bases for the light infantry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy for your kind words,I do try and keep them simple and keep them on small bases,space stops me from going to big,would love to build a large Dio to place them all on.Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
