my army.

[muffinman42]

It's not much, and it hasn't seen combat in a while but here they are;

their are;
15 rifle men
3 officers (the ones with plumes)
1 capt' (from my Imperial Flagship, no point takeing pictures since all I've done is change the figures and move the gallay to bow and vice versa) hero, but only aboard ships if he's on a ship it is impossible for him to be hit by any minifigure or creation not on the ship.
1 commander, normal hero, great leadership.
3 (hopefully 4 soon) cannon operators.
2 field cannons(not my design), to be fired they need to of been, loaded and aimed after firing they need to be cleaned before reloading, in total thats 4 actions needed to fire once, which is why their are two men to each cannon. Cannons need two minifigs to move them and it uses all those figures actions, the cannons can't be moved while loaded.
1 cart driver
1 cart, for supplies, just an after thought.


OK; heres the pictures:



Notes:
the total number of minifigures is 24
the cannons have amunition but can't be loaded. (the amunition rarely runs out since they can only fire once every two turns)

27 guys IS an army. Hell I got factions that have less.

[muffinman42]

hmm, checked on the definition of "army" is land based militry... so when somebody says they have enought food to feed an army they could mean anything from a single person to millions....
it's 24 people, cannons and carts don't count as "guys"....

[Bragallot]

If I see anyone calling a single person an army, I'll smack his head in, I swear.

Sorry I just skimmed over the numbers quickly 'cos I am doing this while I'm gaming.

It's a nice enough army though, first of their kind I've seen here. Only suggestions are:

- cavalry
- some irregulars
- Moar pics

I'm really loving this influx of Napoleonic era Armies. I wish I had some more of these guys but I'd only use them for Britannians. Any chance of a pic of those galloper guns? I also think you have enough there to fight a fair sized skirmish battle.

Green Jacket riflemen?


As per Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series of books.

[Bragallot]

Warhead where'd those come from?

[Warhead]

Eurobriks.

I saw these a while ago and knew they were about. They have a very nice site for this sort of thing.

[Davoth]

Wait, so they aren't yours?

If they might be yours, what is the seven barrel gun thing?
If they aren't, do you know what it is?

[Bragallot]

It looks like a portable (?) ribault.

[Warhead]

Yup, it's from the Sharpe Novels. It's a seven barrel musket that was supposed to be commissioned by the navy for sailors to shoot down from the rigging of ships onto the enemy bridge. Only problem was the sailors kept falling out the rigging when they fired. However, Harper (The Character) was a huge Irish man who could fire this weapon without any problems.

Thanks for the compliment but no they aren't mine, but they might be when I do my own.

[Davoth]

I meant how it was made, the lego piece.
Thanks for the extra info though.

Any chance of a pic of those galloper guns?s.

not my design but it's a very nice one!

I plan to have cavary BUT, the only horse i have is already in use, and the next two i get will be cannon pullers.
Due to the nature of the army their's unlikely to be irregulars other than important people, i might make custom bodys for the officers (also frees up more printed torsos).

I didn't take a ton of pictures since
1: ALL the riflemen are the same except for heads, same with officers and cannon operators.
2: we have all seen a redcoat before.
3: im lazy.
4: it's cold outside and the lighting inside is crap.
6: i dislike the number 5.

that awesome multi barrel thing seems to be made by linking normal flintlock rifles together using u-clips. might try that, give more variation... then again with my opsesion on reloading rules ... though a stock of them that can be fired and then thrown away might be good.

I might make some green coats (as they are known on eurobricks) as an opposing fraction.

[Warhead]

I might make some myself too as I've always likes the Green Jackets.

@Davoth: :Facepalm: Oops, I have no idea how it was done but would you agree that they look a bit like Brickarms clips that are used in the middle?

[stubby]

I can't quite tell from the photos, what's the purple thing on the leader's hat? Is that a piece I'm not familiar with, or customized?

Looks to be a pipe cleaner.
