From JezT: Week One - "Starter for 10" Russian Napoleonic

 Hi All 

My first post for this years challenge and just a single mounted Russian Napoleonic Officer to get me going. Although this is my 5th year of  this great Challenge experience this is the first ever Napoleonic figure posted! My Russian army has been pretty redundant but I have re-started playing Blucher and now decided to rebase my 28mm figures for Blucher use - I'll probably use them in Blucher 200 point type pick up games which you can easily play in a couple of hours. 

This figure is  a Wargames Foundry odd mounted commander I had. 



 It is just the one mounted figure painted but especially wanted to do this to complete the rebasing of a  Russian Jaegers brigade - I think having the mounted commander just adds more to the base. 


Week one completed and just 10 starter points for me. 

Cheers Jez

  2. Nice work on the commander, agree adding a mounted officer into a unit of foot does add to the effect.

  4. Welcome back Jez! You broke the duck with your first Napoleonic figure for the Challenge - Bravo! 28mm for Blucher? Very cool. I use 3mm, but big blocks of 28s would look very neat on the tabletop. Well done!
