I've got three Project trains running side by side this year and it's Napoleonics time again, I'm alternating French / Prussian etc so here are the next reinforcements for my French Plancenoit build.
This represents a Battery of 3 x 6pdr guns plus a Howitzer which was attached to the Young Guard Brigade I am building. It consists of 16 figures with 4 to a gun on a 60 x 90 base. I was keen to keep base frontages consistent throughout this project and depth was just what looked right.
The figures are from Elite Miniatures and are sold as a Battery in one pack. For those who follow Yarkshire Gamer you will know that this has been a bit of a nostalgia dive for me, I painted a load of these for the Wargames Holiday Centre back in the day and after 25 plus years without doing any it was like putting on an old pair of slippers. I love em.
Points wise, 16 x 28mm figs at 5pts each make 80, plus 4 Artillery pieces at 10 each give me a grand total of 120 points.
These are getting posted on Saturday for the next Thursday so I would expect at least another ship before then. I'm working on some Spanish Heavy Cavalry for the Italian Wars at present whilst the next Napoleonics will be Prussian Landwehr.
TeemuL: I like your big ships, but I like these 28mm minis even more. Strong colours and neat finish is a strong combination. I also pay attention to your bases, it seems that is somekind of idea how the ground actually looks like and not just gluing random tufts here and there (and mostly trying to hide something...). Good job, and we will meet again today!
Wonderful work Ken. These sculpts look really imperious with their hauty attitudes! If i was dressed tvat smartly i would be too 😜
