Some more pictures of completed units from my Fescennia campaign: another cavalry regiment from Erymanthia and a tribal regiment from the Amirate of Auges, one of the unusual countries from the Electorate of Lernea.
Manzana Lanceros Regimiento.
The uniform is dark blue with orange facings. The figures are Warlord Games 28mm plastics.




A Tribal Militia Regiment. The figures are from Wargames Foundry's 25mm metal Sikh Wars range. I am basing these irregular types as light infantry, with a mixture of sword and musket-armed figures.

I have managed to complete several new units for my Napoleonic "imagination" campaign - Fescennia - these being from the country of Erymanthia. First of all, some cavalry regiments: hussars and dragoons. These are Perry Miniatures or Warlord Games 25mm plastic figures. Their flags are based on a French dragoon guidon from the early 18th Century!



Above are the hussar and dragoon regiments.

Fresno Dragones Regimiento.
The regiment has a dark blue uniform and green facings
and ride grey horses. Officers have a white plume.




Roble Husares Regimiento.
The regiment has a dark blue uniform with light green facings and rides light bay horses.
Officers have a busby, rather than the shako of the ORs.



Some infantry and artillery to follow: Hinchliffe 25mmm metal figures purchased many decades ago!
The Granaderos de la Guardia No.2 Regimiento.
The unit has a dark blue greatcoat with white facings and white shako plumes.
Their colour is a standard from a late 17th Century Dutch regiment!



Regimiento Fusileros del Sur.
These are light infantry, green uniform with blue facings.


Ciruelo Mosqueteros Regimiento.
A line infantry unit, with a dark blue uniform with red facings.
The flag is also from a late 17th Century Dutch regiment!


A Foot Artillery Battery.
The Erymanthian artillery all wear a dark blue uniform with white facings.



A Foot Artillery Howitzer Battery.

With the world as it is at the moment, I have been doing plenty of painting of figures and making of scenery. Here are some items of scenery I have just completed:

A pillar monument for my medieval/fantasy campaign.

A couple of low palisades for general use
 I have not yet worked out which paint to use in order to get old wood to look like it does,
which is a sort of grey. Any suggestions?

A piece to show old tree trunks,stumps, perhaps a blasted copse?
