Hi all,
A bit of a diversion... (already)...
I thought id kick off the challenge by knocking out a few brigades of French troops for my never ending Blucher project. Ive been chipping away at this project (one way or another) for about 12 years, and despite being able to paint them quickly, I just as quickly get fed up of them!
Anyway, here they are.
A total of 12 battalions worth of Adler 6mm Napoleonics.
Scores on the doors!
273 Infantry @ 0.5 points each = 136.5
1 mounted @ 1 point = 1
Total = 137.5 points
Cheers and merry Christmas!

Brilliant work Steve! I have a soft spot for Adler Napoleonics as I had a large collection in the past, all based for 'Grand Armee'. Great little models. I really like how orderly and neat your bases are, with their serried ranks of beautifully painted miniatures, waving brave banners, and all augmented with clearly designed labels. A nice and strong division of French grognards, ready to put the enemies of the Emperor to flight. Well done!
I've added a few extra points for the flags as I know how challenging they can be at this scale.

Those look magnificent! I am in awe of how good these 6mm figures look, but also how great the bases looks. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much!
DeleteStunning, are you sure these are 6mm? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe little blighters certyainly are.
DeleteCracking work as ever Stig ! And diverted already - what a surprise !
ReplyDeleteplans are only guidelines though arent they?
DeleteI find the Adlers harder to paint and bases, as they are all individual figures rather than the Baccus strips, but you have done a great job on them! Also like the battalion flags, nice touch.
ReplyDeleteyes indeed. My only complaint with them is that they are not on strips. very fiddly to base up.
DeleteImpressive battalions! The 6mm is all rage this year and likely in 2023 too. Not (yet) infected by the bug... but I have recently acquired the electronic version book of Strength and Honor so who knows
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it. I do like the smaller scales.
DeleteLovely work on the wee chaps, Steve! :)
ReplyDeleteSome 28mm next though, i can only focus on the wee chaps for short bursts, then i start rushing and making a mess.
DeleteI don't know how people can paint at this scale.. and for Nap models on top! Amazing work, and beautiful quality here!
ReplyDeleteblack undercoat and dots of colour matey.
DeleteGreat figures and basing. looking forward to seeing more
ReplyDeleteLots more in the pipeline. lots....
DeleteReally nice units.
ReplyDeletecheers Peter.
DeleteGreat work man! Love that micro groundwork.
ReplyDeletecheers, yeah the basing really makes all the difference with these guys.
DeleteLovely painting and basing!
ReplyDeletethanks mate.
DeleteGreat stuff Steve
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteSuper looking Blucher bases - a great rules set for fast play big battles too. Also - impressive output 6 days into Challenge XIII.
ReplyDeleteBravo, these are a great sight!
ReplyDeleteNice blocks of troops, Steve! They really pop without being distracting and I love the vignette quality to the basing!
