Peninsular Napoleonic's

[Aldramelech]

I've always loved Napoleonic's, It was always my favourite game and I remember with great fondness the regular games of Napoleons Battles when I first started wargaming all those years ago.

Despite this I have never owned a Napoleonic army, When I first started everyone already had it all covered at that club in 15mm and buying 28mm was for very rich people. It was an impossible dream to think of having a 28mm Napoleonic army.

How times have changed! Not only can I now afford such things but the introduction of all the wonderful plastic sets out there have even made it quite cheap.

So I have decided to embark on a large, long term project. Not just one army, but two, British and French for the Peninsular.

Just finished my first Battalion of Brits, these are from Perry's:





Although I knew this would be a long term undertaking I don't think I realised what I've gotten into, these guys are very hard to paint, this lot took a month. They are very "fussy" figures, if anything they have too much detail. I'l also be using sets from Victrix as well.

Lots to do  :grin:

A grand start, good clean style and nice basing. Good luck with the project.

Excellent work, great looking unit with sharp lines and colours.

I've been banging away at the Perry French in between other projects for the last few years and only have 2 battalions done (about 70 figures!) so I can sympathise.

Thanks Gents

Very nice work!   It really does take quite a while to roll out Napoleonic units.  I started myself 8 months ago; in retrospect I was mad.
