Hobby Update: 18 Feb 23

 A very short update, since I haven't actually been doing much hobby stuff and what I have been doing has been more RPG-oriented.  But I have managed to finish off some more C17 Eastern European light cavalry, sufficient to do all of the C17 scenarios I have for the Thirty Years' War in Europe's Tragedy and To The Peace of the Pyrenees.

 

These will come in handy as I tackle these scenarios later this year, using the Twilight of Divine Right rules (I think), as part of the preparation for tackling a full Thirty Years' War campaign. Anyhow, here they are, from Baccus:

The figures are quite nice, although they definitely have the older style horses and there were a couple of figures that had slightly difficult to remove flash (attached to the body, face and horse's head) - I have filed a couple down into long beards since I couldn't get a cut to remove them.  I think that this range is getting a refresh very soon (the Polish Great Northern War range isn't on sale at the minute).  But they are nice enough, and I am looking forward to getting them into action soon.

Per Broden's Charity Project: Lund 1676

These are my contribution for Per Broden's 6mm Charity Project - all the details are here.  I was happy to get involved, it seemed like a great idea, especially as the overall commitment wasn't too big.

As usual for Baccus, the figures are lovely, very easy to paint up.  I didn't do it under timed conditions, but I reckon they took about 50 minutes overall, as a maximum.  I am a fairly poor painter really, but it is quite easy to get at least an acceptable appearance from these figures at game table ranges.
