Roll Call 2017, release the Swedes!

Roll Call 2017 is up soon and I'll be playing in the FoGR 25mm period.

Little sad to see that the 15mm FoGR period got cancelled as there was only one entrant.

So, I'm bringing out my 25mm Later Swedes again for a run. 

I may be listening to some Sabaton to get inspired!

Lion from the North

25mm Medieval Knights

Part 2 of my painting up of my 25mm Medievals.

My general figures are from Curtsey Miniatures and they are great figures.

You can tell that they are lead, they weigh a ton compared to the plastic figures

this will be my CnC.  I've gone for a round base for him so that he's really obvious.

25mm Medieval Foot for ADLG

The ADLG bug has bitten me and I've taken the leap into 25mm.

As a massive medieval fan, I couldn't go past the Perry Plastics to form the core of my army.

I added to the army some figures from Fire Forge games.

Crossbowmen with Pavasieres

Crossbowmen

Longbow.  I've also started a few stakes for the bow.

Medium foot.

Foot Knights!
Their heavy armour does work really well in ADLG

Light Foot with Handguns

Roll Call 2015

And that was Roll Call 2015.

It was my first time at playing 25mm FoGR and it was a lot of fun.  Its less of a manoeuvre game than 15mm and more of a get stuck in.

I changed my army slightly and went for the 30 Years War French rather than Later Louis XIV.

The reason?  Cav.  The Later Louis needs Cav and I didn't have enough painted.

So, I ended up 4th.  I got two big wins, a draw and went down screaming in the final round.  A Samurai army showed the French why their swords are world renowned.

The players

A few pictures




Game 1 vs Scotts - Big Win

The French eying off the Scots

Scottish warriors coming charging towards the French

Game 2 vs League of Ausburg - Big win

Lots of shooting

The lines collide

Game 3 vs the Imperial Spanish - Draw
Lots of Elite foot

The two sides eye each other off and then decide, pub is a better option

Game 4 vs Samurai - Big loss

The Samurai line up against the French, it didn't go well for the French

25mm Early Louis XIV FoGR army

I did the last finishes to the army tonight and my 25mm Early Louis XIV is basically finished.

I have one last artillery base to do, just need to find a wheel, I seem to have lost one.

The Warlord plastic figures do paint up very nicely.

Now, how to get this lot to Roll Call via public transport without damaging anything........

More 25mm Renaissance goodness

Got the generals and the dragoons done now.

Have to find some more flock, the stuff I have is good, doesn't give me the height I was after.

I can see some ebaying going on...
