The Prussian army at Waterloo for AOE (Age of Eagles) rules in 28mm

This one was possible when Warlord and Perry released their Landwehr and Line infantry plastic boxes. Even so you can see plenty of my usual conversions based on the 28mm Hat figures and many metal officers and characters. Still no artillery, that will come from Perry, but some cavalry and all the infantry are here.

The French army at Waterloo for AOE rules in 28mm size

This is one of the three Waterloo 28mm armies I´ve been slowly building since the cheaper plastics from Victrix, Perry, Warlord and Hat started to arrive. These plastics were coupled with some metal from Perry, Victrix and Irregular Miniatures. Perry Miniatures gave a lot of life to this period with plenty of characters of many of his top brass officers, specially for the French side (and that includes Napoleon, obviously). Many times I refer Warlord as the battalion commanders when in fact many are metal Victrix. As usual you can see many conversions as the engineers in the cover photo made with bodies from Hat, heads from Perry and Milliput trousers.

28mm Warlord WW2 Soviet infantry

Last week, and after 7 years of patient waiting,  I painted a box of 40 Warlord WW2 Soviet infantry for my friend JMM. All figures became different from one another as both the sprues of bodies and weapons easily allows for it. 

The figures are very good, even if time consuming at assembling due to separate weapons that sometimes are tricky to glue to the arms. Here one of the officers became an NKVD officer, a kind of psychologist,  specialist at persuasion. 

Only two figures got converted. One of the laying down bodies became a radio/telephone operator with extra radio and telephone made out of EverGreen plastic. The other other is the obvious Vassily Zaitzev with a cape made of tissue paper. 

 The Soviet standard uniform (L) was painted with Vallejo Russin uniform while the Telogreika was painted with Vallejo Grey Brown. I painted them as I paint my 20mm figures: black spray as primer; followed by the main colors; then, main colors with 50% white all mixed. The helmets get a bit of metal color mixed with dark green as somehow they become more lively.
