Hungarian grenadiers by Armand d'Arc

Again the work of my Argentinian friend Armand d'Arc


This time, Armand show us a batallion of Hungarian grenadiers defending Norden Cota, a fortified advanced post of the Allied (British-German) in his fictional African campaign, near the frontier with the Associated territory.


There are some old Airfix British grenadiers but the ca. 400 men are conversions from different sources, requiring the modelling of the typical chair-shaped headdress.


These men are destined to fight against the Cazadores de Balbastro, the Colonel Pardo's men!

  3. Rafa - those figures look great. I take it Armand is another solo gamer with no time constraints in setting up etc? That 'Festung' (fortress) would also look right at home defending one of the Swiss passes to northern Italy from hordes of ravenous French too!

    Great stuff Rafa.

    Cheers,

    Yes, Armand plays 'solo' a fictional African campaign, a mix of napoleonics and colonial. He makes the history and plays the characters.
    It's a pity he don't have a blog! but he post in many napoleonics forum
