Here we have 2 regiments of fusiliers with attendant battalion guns and a battalion of converged grenadiers. They are accompanied by a hussar regiment (actually about 2 squadrons), with half of a heavy horse regiment in reserve. A Jaeger battalion has occupied the village on the flank.
This also shows off my newest terrain solution for 3mm.
The board is a 20×20 piece of MDF, covered in iron-based paint, then painted in acrylics. I have forgone flocking, but all the stands and terrain have a magnetic base, so they stick to the board (an important consideration with 3mm stands being so light). I am trying for a more impressionistic battlefield here, with terrain as simple as possible, so that the miniatures don’t get “lost” to the eye. Nevertheless, I want the terrain to look reasonably realistic at arms length.
What do you all think?
The stands are half-inch square (taking the “you might as well use boardgame counters” critique of picoscales to heart here) and, as I said, magnetized.
This is going the opposite route of the hyper-detailed terrain kit I normally build for 3mm. The goal with this is to get what would effectively be a 6×4 foot minis battle into the space of a large board game box. The playing terrain represented here is the equivalent of a 20×20 space.
We get slapped around, but we have a good time!
Very nice looking, very cool and topical. You could sell it to NASA as entertainment for the astronauts on the long haul to the Moon or Mars
