28mm Crimean war figures.

Here are some wargames Foundry 28mm British Infantry of the Crimean war. Firsty I know VERY little about this war or the uniforms and units so If I get anything wrong 10 Please tell me, so I can learn and 2) Bare with me as I am all at sea in this period.

Not knowing Matt provided me with pictures \nd I have copied them as best I am able in the hopes that they are right. A total of 6 riflemen each 3 to a base now ready for action. I have 12 more to do so you shall be seeing more of them soon. Well soon(ish) as I shall start the next 6 tonight.

 In addition to the 6 foot-sloggers I have 1 mounted officer done. One more to do. I showed it last time unfinished. But now it n is finished better to reveal it complete and with the first stands of infantry.  With luck this will give some leadership to the men and allow some games to better be played. But on this score time will tell.











I had more than 1 enquiry about the make of the robot last time.  As such I went up the loft. Straight away I found the box the kit came in now stuffed with old decals. None the less it does show the scale 1/35 and the name "Crusher Joe" of the kit but as yet I am unable to find any ore of them. So if you are looking good luck and comments below on where to get them would be appreciated. (Not holding my breathe though)

Until next time, good luck, good gaming and may  the dice e favourable  to you and also hinder your opponent!

Working class robots ?

FIRSTLY let me say I do NOT know who makes these. So if you do KNOW (No guesses) please inform me.

They were purchased unpainted in eBay by Matt. More than that I cannot tell you.  I painted them of course and now they are ready for the wargames table.

They will make a rather suitable "In Her Majesties Name" force so perhaps I want to get some more. The top pic shows them all together the later pics show just a selection at a time.

These two are an industrialist (possibly Brunel) and one other. Which Matt has referred to as "Mac the Knife!" The real names and intentions of the sculptor are unknown tome so I am just talking hearsay.  The one on the left does have a cybernetic arm but is otherwise a human (I hope) while the one on the right is fully robotic in all the visible areas at least. Who knows under the green coat.

As with all of them I have tended to use dark colours to emphasise the Victorian dark gaslight factories. But with bright red scarfs to unify the group. I could easily have picked a different colour but I did want the scarfs to stand out and thus make them all easily identifiable and blue would not have looked as menacing!

 Each of the robots has some form of equipment, usually in the form of sledgehammers shovels or other digging implements.

One comes with a sandwich board. I did have some fun trying to work out what to right on it. Matt suggested "Space Squid" which I hope is readable. The back says something different. Which Matt will find out on Sunday when he gets them back.


One has a small cannon on his hat. While I do not see this as a practical place to place a cannon, seriously, what do I know. It may be the extra height allows better shots!

That's' it for today. If you do know who makes these kindly let me know. Unless it is secret knowledge in which case feel free to take it to your grave.

All the best Clint
