My friend Gerry is a wargamer with a megalomania complex . He has around 100,000 10mm Napoleonic figures already . I am helping him top that up this year and here is the first of them off the production line
It’s the 1st Battallion of Old Guard Chasseurs a Pied . It’s 99 foot figures and 1 mounted . 60x40 base with 25 figures per base . 4 bases per battalion .
The figures are all Pendraken . Only another 7 lots to paint for this division .
So that’s also 101 pts for the little things and Napoleonic duels. (
Editor's note - the spreadsheet tells me this is actually 102 points...so there you go...)
Just so you know what a lot of 10mm on a table looks like here it is it’s epic
The game MartinC and I are playing in this week - Waterloo
Well Dave, after years of witnessing the scale of your own hobby project efforts throughout various editions of the AHPC, I am inclined to suspect that "your friend Gerry" is in fact just one of your own made-up cover identities...but nobody can argue that the visual impact of such games is indeed "epic" - in the true sense of that word, not in the stupid Warlord-Games-Epic-Scale sense. Great work on these figures, as Pendraken indeed do have a range of fantastic sculpts.
Enjoy that Waterloo Game!
Wow, Wow and one more time wow. great painting on these chaps and man does it look impressive the scale that can be achieved with this size. amazing photos, enjoy your upcoming game.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Very impressive Dave! Great detail on the models!
ReplyDeleteSmashing Dave, Gerry will love these (if he can find them amongst the 100,000 others) 😆
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure he is doing the French Guard at 1/1 ration !
DeleteYowza, that’s an amazing table Dave! Love the old guard Chasseurs.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's impressive!
ReplyDeleteWow indeed, what a spectacle. Those figures are truly impressive in those mass formations. Rather nice up close too. My guess is Gary often mentions large armies are Dave's when asked pointedly. That is how it worked at my club back in the day.
ReplyDeleteVery cool Dave. When you see something like this it really brings home how big these battles were.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Dave and the battlefield shots are simply epic. Well done.
ReplyDelete@all , cheers - Martin ran away and Napoleon won…great game . My British guard decided enough was enough and bugged out
ReplyDeleteThe Chasseurs of the Guard have always been my favourites, so what a treat to see 100 of them! The game does look absolutely stunning indeed, almost looks like the real thing. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat's great Dave, a lovely unit and even more impressive for being 100 figures strong
ReplyDeleteWaterloo game looks awesome! Cheers JezT
ReplyDeleteFantastic. Never done 10mm but they are great and the battle scenes are to die for. Well done
ReplyDeleteWow -- that's amazing productivity, I wish I could get my 10mm figures out at a fifth of that pace!
ReplyDeleteSmashing looking tiny fellas!
ReplyDeletebrilliant Dave, it really captures the enormity of linear warfare with very good painting as the cherry on the pie!
