After tidying up the weekend sci-fi game I spent a few minutes in the dungeon. Firstly getting the whole Tallarn army out so I could calculate how many points I have in total.
The Tallarn all painted at the moment. Like pretty much all my collections my thoughts immediately go to thoughts about expansion and what else I might add. Ideally I would have another transport or perhaps another tank. I’m also on the look out for some suitable heavier infantry (stop press these may have been sourced from eBay last night)
Secondly in line with the reboxing of the British I purchased some larger boxes for the French to allow them to be stored safer/easier. So as they were being transferred I did a parade for the French as well.
Obviously I’m pretty happy with these chaps so far. 3 or 4 Brigades of infantry. The lead pile contains quite a bit more infantry and the plan will be to paint these as Legere as I don’t have enough of these. Some guard artillery, another unit of chasseurs and another Curassier regiment. I really mustn’t buy anymore French !
That’s it for now, I been busy painting some more Spanish infantry and something completely different, but they are not quite finished yet.
Thanks as always Matt
Wow, that is quite a parade and I didn't realise just how many French units you have!
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve ….im still enjoying painting French so some more to come 👍
DeleteVery impressive parade, Matt, and two of them! You fielded these armies almost under the RADAR. I had not realized how large both had become. Yes, expansion is always on our minds, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon, I just keep adding units you will have seen them all as they pass across the blog, but they look better when all together. Some armies are reaching a natural limit I think ?
DeleteGreat looking army!
ReplyDeleteThanks you sir 👍
DeleteTwo impressive forces Matt and who wouldn't want to expand them
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil……at least for the french I don’t need to buy any more I have more than enough in the lead pile !
DeleteCan't beat a good parade and you have given us two! Super stuff!
ReplyDeleteThank you it actually helps me remember what I have already painted up 👍
DeleteTwo splendid parades Matt….Hurrah! Hurrah!….
ReplyDeleteThe French are looking particularly impressive…
I am curious to see what your Tallarn Heavy Infantry are like…
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly I managed to pick up some metal Kasrkin from eBay. We’ll see how they paint up ?
DeleteVery impressive Matt. The French collection in particular has grown steadily.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, a parade is often a good motivator and certainly helps focus the mind, it’s also quite pleasing 🙂
DeleteThe French are very impressive Matt, a grand collection developing there! The Space Fairies....well, if you must.
ReplyDeleteThanks David fairies they might be but they pack a punch !
Deletegood looking armies. 😁
