Having laid in a sizable supply of primed and Ready-to-Paint figures in preparation for hunkering down in winter quarters, I pick up the brushes and get back to work. The completion of undercoating activities appears to cross the finish line only days ahead of a wintertime atmospheric river of moisture headed into the Pacific Northwest. Did I lay in enough supplies to make it through winter? Perhaps not but there are always opportunities to step outside to lay a coat of spray primer down on a handful of figures if the stockpile runs low or my interests change.
Anyway, marching out from the workbench today are 48 figures comprising the 96th Infantry Regiment. These 48 figures are spread across three, 16-figure battalions. Today's release brings the fledgling FPW Prussian army up to six infantry regiments. This is probably enough to begin thinking about bringing this small force to the table. Figures are 15mm Lancashire Games.
With the game table seeing Reconquista armies battling it out at Zallaqah (I still have one BatRep from a week ago to write), it may be little surprise that more figures for this period have been pressed into the painting queue. More Christian horse and foot are working their way through the production line. Hopefully, some of these units will find their way to the photo box and eventually here.

Nice work Jon, those Lancashire Games figures really are very nice. I have never heard of the Battle of the Clouds but the table set up looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks! As I have mentioned many times before, I really like the Lancashire infantry for these mid-19th Century wars. I had not heard of this AWI action either. Evidently, it was only a skirmish. When I first saw the title, I figured Matt might be presenting the ACW Battle of Lookout Mountain.
