The Malburian Project
Right
the Malburian club project. As I said its going to be in 15mm. So first things first, what figures to use. Well the first choice is blackhat miniatures Malburian range, largely because I know the owner and he makes nice stuff. First look at the miniatures, Ive 10 French Inf, 10 Grenadiers and a command set and my impressions are very nice. Well sculptured and proportioned. A litte excess flash, quickly removed and they are ready to go. In comparison to say AB 15's they are a chunkier. This makes the details, far easier to paint up.
Ok as a tester im going to try and paint up in for various regiments. To help with this, Ive used the excellent website http://royalfig.free.fr/index.php?/category/31 and the combined knowledge of my gamers club. To start with Im going to paint a couple of regiments.
AUVERGNE regiment - grey jacket, white leggings and under garment and pink facings
BIGORRE regiment - white jacket, white leggings, light blue under garment and light blue facings]
So here are testers
sorry the files are rather large
Next the command squad

Ok....time to start blogging
Ok
Ive put this off far to long and its time to start taking pics and making some regular posts. I've plenty to talk about, however Ive just got to start taking more pictures. My wife has a new camera, a Canon EOS 500D so Im going to inform her of her up and coming task! First on the new list though is the start of a club project. The Malburian period in 15mm. The likely ruleset we are going to use is Under the Banner. Ive never played it, however looks like fun. Right...to the camera
