The older I get the less I seem to actually read stuff and make some interesting "mistakes", last year I left a load of painting to the last minute, finished it off and went to post it only to find the Challenge finished the day before !
This is (or was !) my Empire Bonus Round which I was convinced ended on the 21st January but in fact had passed last week 😆
These are for my Plancenoit Project and are part of Lobaus French Corps, normally I complete a project and realise I haven't done any Command Stand and this time I was determined not to be caught out, so I've started with them.
Here is the first base, 3 28mm mounted figures on a 80mm round base, all the figs are from the Perry Miniatures French Napoleonic Range and this is the make up for my Division Commanders, there is a General de Division accompanied by an Infantry Colonel and an Adjutant.
The second base is a Brigade Command and consists of 2 mounted (ish) figures, an Infantry Colonel and another Adjutant. I love this figure and it's one of my favourite in the range, the Adjutant has dismounted and is using the horse as a place to rest his telescope (great pose but not convinced it would be that steady)
So that's 5 28mm mounted figures at 10 points each for another 50 points, half the amount they would have been if I read to the end of the sentence 😆
Fine print? Who's got time for that nonsense. I missed the empire round altogether. Well I am sorry not to see these fine command stands in the Empire theme round, I am quite happy to minion them here. I also really like the guy with the telescope, but share your doubts as to the steadiness of the rest.
Ken - as always your Napoleonics are superb. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate 👍
DeleteGreat work. These Ken's are quite nifty at painting.
ReplyDeleteYears of practice 😆
DeleteIts creeping madness Ken, it starts with the desire to complete big projects that so overwhelm your mind that there's no space in your brain for concepts like time. I'm not sure why its affected you :-) I did the same last year. This is a very nice entry, the range of Perry French Napoleonic command figures is extensive and well thought out, bit of a shame that the Prussian and Russian range is not so large
ReplyDeleteCheers mate, it's been easy getting French Command, Prussians have been more of a challenge 👍
DeleteThat’s a nice collection of the high command - they look suitably unconcerned with whatever is being looked at. Altogether nice poses and nicely painted to
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, the calm before the storm 😆
DeleteI've tried my best to not get sucked into Napoleonics, but every time I see Perry figures painted up I feel my resolve being tested. Very nice work Ken. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteIt's just a matter of time mate, give in now 😆
DeleteYou are retired now, every day is the same , it’s easy to get confused . Nice job matey
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit wierd !
DeleteIncredible as always Ken!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much 👍
DeleteI always love French Naps and you've done these lads proud
ReplyDeleteCheers 👍
DeleteFantastic French command. When days started to blend, I went back to my work morning coffee “todo” planning routine. Rather helpful for maintenance, cooking etc. Dates are more of a guideline than a rule though.
ReplyDeleteI used to work a none week based shift pattern (5 days on 4 days off) so I haven't had a clue what day it is for most of my life 🙃
DeleteExcellent work at half the points. Kidding aside they are gorgeous.
