High Elf archers from Aveloron

 

I painted some OOOOOOLD plastic Wood Elf archers.
Their commander I think is a Wood Elf hero from GW:s old game of Warhammer Quest but im not sure. I think I bought him as seperat packs of some heroes or if it was a painting set, I really cant remember. It was a really long time ago and it feels nice to give him and the others som paint.
They are a rather speedpainted unit but I have found some nice teqnuices that really works for the amout of effort.
The regular archers is as I said regular Wood Elf archers, I have used them as Shadowwarriors in the past with blue capes. But now I have painted them all in white/grey colours with green capes. 

They will all count as High Elf archers from the kingdom of Avelorn, the kingdom housing the High Elf Everqueen. This kingdom is almost Wood Elfs on Ulthuan so it fits perfect to use old Wood Elf miniatures for these. Avelorn got all sorts of treemen and spirits so its fun to dip my toes into their theme. 

This is the first of my big batch of miniatures from the kingdom of Avelorn.

French 3rd Hussar Regiment

I have painted unit of hussars for my French Napoleonic army.
I went with the 3rd hussar regiment this time and given them all really nice hats to mark them as elite.

The miniatures are from Perry Miniatures.

Black Powder AAR: France vs Austria

 

Last weekend my friend Tobias and I had a game of Black Powder with our growing Napoleonic forces.
My Frenchmen would be facing his Austrians. 

We took what we had painted and deployed to the gaming table.

Im sure that we made tons of misstakes because it was a couple of years since we played Black Powder and then it was the first edition. 

With all those Austrians cavalry on the table I thought it was just best to form squares with the infantry.

Wow, what a game. We had a blast.
We made tons of misstakes but we learned a lot.

Im sure we will play lots more of Black Powder, I had almost forgotten how fun it was.
