link I've been neglecting the blog for a while (link above) but I thought I'd put a post together for these guys. This is the final unit for my Papal Army for the Battle of Mentana. Unfortunately the Perrys still haven't released their French Franco Prussian Infantry so I'm a bit stuck finishing off the Project for the end of October when I was hoping to put the game on at the FIASCO show in Leeds. The figures are from Gringo 40s, they are big 28mm and not always avaliable, thankfully I managed to sweet talk the owner to make me some. For the pendants out there I know the flag is wrong :-) More pics and a link to the latest Yarkshire Gamer Monthly Wargames Update on the Utubes on the link above. Until next time, Sithee Regards Ken

OK self confessed "pendant" (!?) here! Curious about the guy in the cape – aren't his cuffs a different style to everyone else's? And a different colour? Whatever, the painting is superb! |

Hi Mollinary, Putting "Pendant" is the easiest way to wind up a "pedant" it's an old Private Eye Joke (UK satirical mag). The "guy in the cape" is actually the Officer so yes his cuffs are a different style and no they are not a different colour (both red). Hope that clears that up Regards Ken

Thanks YG! I assumed it was deliberate, but didn't get the Private Eye reference. Thanks for the info regarding the cuff style, not sure I have ever come across this distinction before. One lives and learns! |
