They Have Arrived! WAS

They are here!

My order from Freikorp 15/QRF has arrived!

I do not have time to take a detailed look at them due to work, but I should be able to show some mock ups of units after the weekend. Here is a picture of the stuff out of the box!

I shall start the WAS project after I finish the DBA Polybian Roman I am currently painting.

WAS Austrian Miglio Cuirassier

Here is one of my Eureka Smaples painted as a Miglio Cuirassier. It took me about 2 hours. Nice!

DBA IV/61 Venetian Italian Condotta

A Happy new month to you all!

Since the holiday break I have not painted much. I am waiting for my 18th century order, and trying to learn Prussia's Glory II. I have also played a lot of Arkham Horror with friends.

That said I do have an army to show you! This is an Italian Condotta army representing Venetian forces in the First Ottoman-Venetian War.

The majority of units are Mirlton and they are a treat! The "Greek" stradiots are Essex.

The Flags of the army represent the Venetian Republic, the family of D'Este (one of who was a commander in the first campaigns, the Loredan family (a scion was the overall commadenr) and the Mocenigo family (A later overall commander and Doge).

The army is heavy in light cavalry and light troops to represent the more mobile warfare the Venetians waged against stronger Ottoman armies.

New Project! War of Austrian Succession

Hi all

I have begun my WAS project. The pictures below are one each of a Eureka 18mm SYW range Austrian Infantry painted as a Deutchmeister soldier and the other is a Freikorp15 15mm SYW range Austrian Infantry painted as a Diesbach soldier.

Let me give a shout-out for the customer service of both companies. Eureka USA sent the two sample minis I bought in three days.

Freikorp15 did evan better! I emailed Geoff for two samples and he sent me 3 sets of two. For free! Great service and super professionalism!

For the minis

here are comparison shots

Both minis are very nice. Eureka is a tad taller (not really noticeable). Both miniatures have a good amount of detail for 15mm with Freikorp having better pockets and buttons and Eureka better hats (they have the oak leaves while you will have to add them for the Freikorp minis, not a big deal). I believe the Eureka mini has a nicer pose but the Freikorp is not bad at all!

I photographed the Eureka miniature in phases to talk a bit about my painting style



When paining 15mm my pattern is as follows.

1) I lightly clean any flash but not mould lines. These minis are too small to be worth going after mould lines in my opinion. I wash the minis in warm water and dish soap.

2) I then undercoat the miniature black. I always do black for minis smaller then 25mm because it makes it easier to do blacking (keeping small black lines that help details stand out). After the undercoat I apply one or two thin layers of black making sure that no metal areas show.

3) I block paint the base color. For white at this scale I block paint dark grey. When block painting I cover all the are leaving some black at the deeper folds. For red I block paint GW Foundation Paint Mechrite Red. I use a mix of GW and Vallejo colors. I either leave cross belts black or paint then brown.

4) I block paint the highlights. I block paint the white making sure to leave the black at the recesses. I pain the gaiters, shoes and tricorn with dark grey. When you are painting at smaller scales I prefer to keep dark colors a tone lighter then their normal. I paint bright red as the highlight for the mechrite red. Small details like the pom-poms I just directly apply the colors on the black. I paint packs brown and highlight the cartridge box with light gray. I paint the wooden parts of the musket in brown.

5) I paint the face, palms and hair brown. I highlight the packs with light brown. I paint the cross belts and other belts white making sure to leave a line of black on the two sides. I highlight the hair with a lighter shade of brown.

6) To end it I apply a straight flesh to palms and face, make sure the mustache stands out, pick out any black lining required to raise details and paint the oak leaves a straight goblin green. I paint the musket barrel a lighter brown, and the iron parts with silvers making sure to keep black lines to raise the detail. Finally I paint a white line for the tricorn. Once the paint is dry I apply a gloss varnish coat. The final unit will be given a spray of matt varnish.

I did the same for the Freikorp15 miniatures.


I think I will use Freikorp15 for the start of my armies and then expand slowly to Eureka!

Time for a Sale!

Way cheaper then 25/28mm but unfortunelty there seems to be no way to get the outland game miniatures. I can find the Revell packs in Greece in forgotten piles in model stores on Ippocratus. Two armies would probably cost around 300$-400$.
