This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

Empire Knights or Gendarmes w/o Skirts
As mentioned before, I plan to use them for Italian Wars, although their armor is a bit more fantasy than historical. Proper looking French Gendarmes should have those skirted tunics over their armor. I did leave off their shields, but may add them later for an Empire army.I used decals that came with the kit for the standard and also the musician's trumpet flag. Although the color scheme and helmets are for the Knights Panther, the decals are for the Order of the Blazing Sun. I thought they looked more like something from the period.They are old models, and out of scale next to most 28mm figures, but I still like their overall look.Along with the older Empire Knights unit painted up as Reiksguard.Have some 3D resin printed Napoleonic Prussian artillery to work on next. Those should be the last figures needed for an 1813 Campaign game I hope to run later this year, in addition to an Italian Wars Pike & Shotte game. Until next time, thanks for stopping by, and wishing you all the best.
