Royal Navy Landing Party (finished)

When I say finished I actually mean finished for now until I stoopidly buy some more or new figures are release or well you know.

The troops with pistols have been seen before and are both an Officer pack and a Royal Navy brigade Boarding party pack Available here (http://www.ironcladminiatures.co.uk/)

 Separately they are . Roayal Navy Brigade landing party with Rifles. 1 pack of 4figures. Very nicely sculpted and cast but not exceptionally so. And should your boarding party need longer ranged weapons than pistols rifles of carbines are the way to so.



there is a set with a machinegun but it is a deck mounted gun and thus of less appeal in a game setting due to it's lack of manoeuvrability. That being the case I probably will not purchase it.










We also have the "Royal Navy Support weapons" pack. Just 2 figures with 2 "heavyier" weapons.  The first being either a Volley Gun or some type of light machine gun depending on the rules you use. While the second is either some form of grende launcher or a form of scatter/shotgun maybe a Trench gun. As there are no descriptions it if up to you and the world setting and rules you could use.

These are painted with the feeble excuse that I can now use them in a "In Her Majesties Name" (IHMN) game. You never know perhaps I will. Several at the club already have the rules (as do I so it is just a case of getting going. There is no reason not too for me now.

There you go another blog post done and as the rain now falls It is noticeably cooler so maybe more painting very soon.

Wherever you are take care have fun and I wish you well.

All the best from Kent.

      Thank you Michael. As I was painting them I did think of you. I was imagining you painting them.

    Tasty stuff Clint, and you have certainly made those minis look better than the painted ones I recall being shown off on the Ironclad stall :-)

      Thank you Simon. It is nice to paint something a little different every now and again. And I did enjoy painting these. Altogether I think them a dashing group.

    An unusual set of figures that I'm certainly not familiar with. Here's hoping you get to use them in a game.

    I just knew that since it was raining, you'd be painting something "water related" :-)
    Lovely job Clint!

      Ha ha! Well, the sun's out again so the Egytians will be appropriate (but I'm painting zombies at the moment, so I'd like to see yours as well!)

      Only 1 Zombie At present. or 10+ Egyptians. Overcast here so you never know It could be 6mm Sci Fi (If I had some to paint!)

      Unless I get a firm and definitive answer I will just do as I please! (You are waned!)

    I didn't know Ned Kelly's ultmately joined the Royal Navy!
    An amusing set of giures which I'm sure will fit in well with the IHMN system.

    They look great Clint! I did mine up in Winter uniform for use with IHMN too.
    I have a take on some stats for them too - if you are interested let me know.

      Thank you Paul. I must admit I did look at your figures prior to painting my own. However I wanted Tropical uniforms so I knew I wanted White trousers. But because of you I nearlt had white straps but it was too much white when the trousers were painted.

      Thank you Dave. The "New" Germans should also be out soon (if not already). I will get them in Sept. And paint them soon after. Might be worth seeing which you like best.

      Thank you Tamsin. At Selwg I will most likely pick the new Germans up. I say most likely as I have not seen them just yet
