Dutch Belgian contingent at Waterloo

During our recent "little" Waterloo refight some of the star performers were the Dutch Belgians ( except the light cavalry who refused to charge......................).

I painted this little lot in about 6 weeks and nearly killed myself doing so.  Most of the bases aren't finished and the cavalry still need some work but all-in-all I am happy with them, and their contribution to stopping Napoleon!




















All figures are Perry. Hope you like the pictures.

Brunswick units at our Waterloo game

For some daft reason I insisted on painting the Brunswickers for Waterloo. This consisted of:

Command bases
Foot artillery battery
Avant Garde and Jaegars
Lieb Garde
Line and light infantry
Uhlans and hussars

As they werent under my command they of course performed heroically and held up an entire French infantry division with a cavalry brigade, and artillery, for the entire battle!

Figures are all excellent Perry miniatures. Hope you enjoy the pictures:

Waterloo 2015`

Every year we have a large game. This year was no different and of course we did Waterloo!  4 of us have been painting like idiots for the last six months......................but we got there!

It was an allied victory and hopefully I'll tell all some time this week but here's some pictures of our little battle.  Figures are from teh collections of Jeff Bridoux, William De Pretre, Daryl Smith, and infamous Matt Fletcher, Mark Warner and my good self.

No cucumber or tomato plants were hurt in the making of this battle although we did piss the cat off no end.

Enjoy.

Retreat from Moscow / campaign Poles

Long time, no post...............apologies.

Please see the latest pictures of the Retreat from Moscow Poles, including the command.

Painted by Francesco Thau, I think these figures really capture the campaign look and feel.  Should have a load more release this year.

Hope you like the pictures.
