No Money! No Swiss! more Napoleonics

Another day another update, this may be a record!

So another infantry regiment, this time the 3rd Swiss, mercenaries the lot of em! They had the privilege of fighting both on the Peninsular and also into Russia, so this fits into my overall collection nicely as I'm hoping to cover Leipzig too. This should at this scale just require changing the elite companies due to the distinctive headgear amendments.

Painting rather than posting

My time has been spent painting furiously of late, so please excuse the lack of updates.

That painting has predominantly been concerned with Napoleonics. Hammering through the Artillery, First full regiment completed and some caissons for good measure.

More to come........

progress.........

A few more Napoleonics off the painting table

These are Adler miniatures 'special' sculpts, full of character.

Really should photograph the rest of my recent output, its been productive!

And the finished First battalion of French that I am happy about. The flag has been added since this picture was taken.

The road is a section I bought from a manufacturer via Ebay, Fatfrank, quite nice, fairly rigid but they fit in nicely with the rest of my collection.

A quick follow up with some more pics of the progress.

A very long over due update.

6 mm Napoleonics have hit the painting table, all Adler, IMHO the best out there full of character and packed with detail.

I am concentrating initially on French and Russian, this will be expanded further into smaller nations and then start work on my British to encapsulate the peninsular campaign.

So French forces to paint so far.....

24 battalions of infantry
4 regiments of cavalry
3 artillery batteries (2 further in transport mode)
Officers and ADC's aplenty
3 battalions of Swiss

That's about two divisions, plenty to be going on with, and before I forget the same for the Russians.

Work in progress

So this is what's on the bench!

10mm pendraken Austrian SYW

10mm pendraken ACW

6mm Napoleonic, Adler, still trying to work out an approach for painting these as I'm not happy with the finish.

Work in progress

Right starting to find my way around, free time is limited so its a balancing act between bench time or pooter time, bench time is more fun and interesting, but pooter usually wins over and sucks the life away.

So a few pikkies to start, a bench mark point I guess to track progress, and maintain momentum.

My Malifaux crew to start, spending some time on these guys ( by my standards anyhow) yes they are fancy and yes they may be awkward on the table but its my choice hehe.

Next up and running under the brush at the same time are my British Napoleonic's, Peninsular. One infantry division minus artillery, bit by bit and they should soon be done.

So there we go,  now to keep track of progress.
