After a few battle reports and a couple of thought pieces, time to return to parading some recent units mustering out from the painting desk. January saw another productive month at the painting desk. More than 100 figures marched off of the workbench. At the photo booth, a logjam forms with a large number of units awaiting their turn. Notice in the sidebar that I managed to reduce The Lead Pile by 945 figures in 2024. Great result! Expect a broader discussion on the painting front when I publish year-end review of figures painted.
Anyway, into the photo box today are two units comprising the Spanish Walloon Guard. These two units are made up of 46 figures with Old Glory foot led by Eureka mounted colonels. Flags are by David at Not By Appointment.
Why the Walloon Guard? Well, if I am going to refight the 1743 Battle of Campo Santo, Walloon Guard need to be on the table. This is a first but necessary step.
The Walloon Guard look great, very nice looking unit, cracking uniform. Look forward to seeing how the Rejects get on in Adobe Wells, should be good!
ReplyDeleteThanks! With the Rejects, game should be a hoot!
DeleteFantastic job on those units Jonathan. Looking forward to Monday. I've been out practising my markmanship... though perhaps it's my dice rolling that needs to be sharpened up!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Richard! Yes, put some practice in on your dicemanship.
DeleteExcellent unit they look lovely! Looking forward to more double entry accounting!

Thanks, Iain! With no bookkeeper in this scrap, there may be a double entry but not from an accountant.
DeleteVery nice indeed Jon, and David's flags look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith! David’s flags are my favorites.
DeleteA grand looking regiment, nicely done
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Neil! Your latest French look fab!
DeleteLovely looking regiment Jonathan!

Thank you!
DeleteThose wonderfully painted figures keep rolling off your painting desk. 945 figures in 2024 is impressive.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter! The 945 painted figures are actually the number of figures painted in excess of new figures bought. Final count was a few more than the 945 counted here.
