« on: January 30, 2023, 05:52:15 PM »
Painted these over a couple of weeks. Battle Honours 15mm, Russian 1812, Seven 18 man Battalions. about ten more to finish my Russian Infantry, a couple of horse regts and a bit of artillery will finish the Russians, then finish off my 1807 French Infantry (6 battalions).

If it isn't enjoyable, it isn't gaming!

Yes, some of them are huge. Some are smaller and some are actually 15mm. What can you do?

Your Russians look very nice Phil, 6 to a base too.  I like that.  Mine are 4 to a base and I haven't the heart to start another round of re-basing.

Thanks OB,.

Rebased all my armies to 6 to a base (and 5 to a base for Second rate and militia), back in 2021. It took me a year of doing some every day, along with painting more troops as well!  :D

Yeah, 6 to a base looks best to me too.  I think I'm going to have to emulate what you did.  French, Spanish and Russian armies.  Not this year though.

That's an impressive and high quality output there.
I went with six to a base back in the first edition days but stuck with single rank for cavalry.

45-50 figures per day!  That is a lot of figures painted in a VERY short time.  I've done over 400 figures in a month but they weren't well uniformed.

What is your general process - and I'm assuming the figures were already prepped and primed and dry and ready for paint when you started?
