Finished up some mercenaries. Irish Kern and Gallowglasses, Stradioti riders for the Condottieri.

Prussian Cavalry
Over the last few weeks I finished the cavalry regiments of the Prussian IV Korps for my Waterloo collection. Close-up and unit details can be found here.

More Saga Age of Chivalry
A few more assorted units. I now have pages up for the Papal States, War of the Roses, French, and Germans. More to come.
I recently acquired the tools to make high quality decals – both printing them and generating suitable images. Where possible, I like to support artists so most of my shield decals and flags are from commercial suppliers, but I am now able to cover designs that aren’t available. Below are examples from this month. All for Saga Age of Chivalry.
Papal States Pavisiers and Swordsmen
German Pavisiers
French Pavisiers (with commercial decals)

Prussians half done
With the latest batch of artillery – shown below – , I have not only completed IV Korps’ infantry and artillery, but also reached the half-way mark for the Prussians!
Specifically, I have now painted 1,309 Prussian figures with 1,288 left to paint. Those break down into 763 infantry left (1,042 painted), all 328 cavalry, 121 artillery figures (180 painted), and 76 command/other figures (87 painted). Getting this far has taken 8 months from the first painted Prussians in late September 2024. Slower than the Anglo-Dutch, but I am still cautiously optimistic that I can finish up the Prussians in 2026.
To celebrate this half-way mark, here is the grand old man, Marschal Vorwaerts, Generalfeldmarschall Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher Fürst von Wahlstadt with his staff officers.

SAGA Germans
I have jumped knee-deep into the new Age of Chivalry supplement for Saga. The first force to be fully painted are my new Germans of the Holy Roman Empire.

Tau Expedition
Many years ago, I received a small bag of Tau figures from a neighbour’s kid who had briefly dabbled in the hobby. The figures were in rough shape – glue blobs and thick enamel paint – so I put them in a box for a long slumber. Nearly two decades later, I found them during clean-up and thought I would do a quick side project in a Grimdark style which might hide some of the blemishes. This small group could represent a Tau expedition entering Necromunda.

SAGA Romans
Last weekend I had the privilege of participating in a local SAGA tournament and won a box of Gripping Beast plastic figures. Add a bit of paint, and here we have a small Roman warband for the Age of Invasions.

Prussian 15. Infanterie Regiment
I have kicked off my the second phase for my 28mm Napoleonic Waterloo project: the Prussians! Oberst von Crailsheim commands the 15. Infanterie Regiment with two battalions of musketeers, one of fusiliers, and the regimental skirmishers. I will set up a page for the Prussians once I have a few more painted. All in, this will be around 2,400 figures which should keep me entertained for a year or two. Off we go!

Epic Knights
As a small side project, I finished my EPIC 40k Knights. These are ancient models from the early 1990 so I used the paint style and decals of that era. The photos makes them come out very flat – they are multi-layer highlighted… – though there is only so much you can do with old sculpts. These were the very last figures for my EPIC 40k collection which, at 2,378 painted figures, is now fully completed! Yay!
