About the Project

I've always floated around napoleonic wargames but I've never concentrated on it. I've done tiny 10m andxa bit of 28m. This new year I want to work on napoleonic minis for 3 different systems....maybe four.

Looking at the rules for soldiers of Napoleon I think this system works better for smaller scales. I already have a French army in 10mm so had a look at the army lists. I have enough minis for three brigades which us great. I need to dig out my British alied army and see what they have. The armies need a bit of a repair. I also found what scenery I have for this scale. I think I need moreLooking at the rules for soldiers of Napoleon I think this system works better for smaller scales.

Thrown in with the rest of my Russians I have a small band of supernatural investigators that I printed from lost heresy.  I thought while i was sticking to the Russian theme I'dget my silverbayonet minis done at the same time and get some blurry pics done. Heading home after the Christmas break tomorrow so i can get to basing. Thrown in with the rest of my Russians I have a small band of supernatural investigators that I printed from lost heresy.

Every Christmas I spend a couple weeks  away in Ireland and I always take some minis with me to paint. In preparation I 3D printed some Russians from battle cat miniatures. For £15 you can get stl files for the vast majority of infantry. I've printed off three 12 man infantry units. One 12 man grenadiers unit and 8 light infantry men an officers.Every Christmas I spend a couple weeks away in Ireland and I always take some minis with me to paint.

These are the paints I took with me. I used a shaving case as a mini travel bag. All the minis survived the flight in tact. I hope they survive the journey back.These are the paints I took with me.

I have a sizable French collection fir skirmish games already put together with a couple of perry plastic boxes. Trouble is remembering what each unit is meant to be. The French army is a confusing collection of different units. I had to look at my old paint jobs and try and figure out who they all are and if they are covered in the SandB rules.I have a sizable French collection fir skirmish games already put together with a couple of perry plastic boxes.

Grenadiers. I have all the infantry covered apart from national guard militia units but it's the cavalry I need. They are just as confusing as the infantry with some of the same classifications. Because units are in squads of 12 or 8 and as low as 4 you can cover a lot of options with just a couple of plastic kits. It's worth going for the skirmish look as rank and file marching doesn't look right to me in a small scale game.Grenadiers.

For Shakos and bayonets I already have a few British originally purchased for Chosen men. Mist line infantry come in units of 12 so I've decided to get three line infantry units for each force as a core selection. I have one and a bit of British line infantry made from a perry box.For Shakos and bayonets I already have a few British originally purchased for Chosen men.

Officer minis available. So I'm missing some cavalry, light infantry, grenadiers and a mounted officer would be nice. Also bump up that line infantry to three units. Officer minis available.
