Yup...definitely slower now!

Did get the great coats painted last night but that’s it.

However, as I’m now determined to finish my first infantry division, I will need to do a battery of artillery too.....so sat last night and flashed / prepped crew for a couple of batteries.  They will be painted after this regiment.

Cmon get the lead out!

You're going to need at least 3 divisions to form a Corps!  ;)

Give us a chance! Lol

Actually, I am so stoked right now, I have just added a Swiss Regiment into my order of battle, placing them in the “German Division”.  Just pushed my target out a little.

I’m also tempted to add in some Gendarmes as I may be facing a few Spanish guerrillas....but I REALLY like the the Perry Gendarmes Elite in Bearskins.....maybe not authentic for the Penindular....but I want a few....maybe small unit of six....

Meanwhile just been correcting a detail on the first regiment so here are the two units together.

Received the “Clash of Eagles” today, Black Powder supplement.  I bought it principally for the stats regarding Austrians for when I meet the fondue eating fellas but of a quick glance through the book, I have to say I am blown away by the gorgeous photographs of exquisitely painted and colourful miniatures pictures.....WOW!  I could be in serious danger of getting distracted into collecting numerous other armies if I’m not careful.

Will enjoy looking at it in more depth.

I don’t get your point....?

Variety IS the spice of life.   You forgot a few projects there too.

Yes, I jump about a bit, then I spend a fair amount of time on one or two projects to get them playable.

Right now....I can actually see myself finally playing with a Napoleonic army.  I’m not actually far off a small engagement now, certainly not once I paint the next few infantry units.  Took me five years to get here mind but right now, I’m in the zone.

Oh, and probably your fault....but I have a few pirates sat on my paint tray alongside the naps....

Enjoy.
Dave & I will provide opposition to your French, as long as...
it is a thinly disguised 'Thermopylae' scenario but with no hidden pass.
It would be our only chance, some might say. 'One in three hundred'.

So, I’m about 60% though the next unit...36 light infantry and I’m hoping they will be finished tomorrow.

Whilst at it, I decided to paint a few screening voltigeurs.

Coming out very nice!
And I like the pink of your French Dragoons!
Keep up the good job(s)!
