15mm Napoleonics Collection so far.

Okay so after seeing Paul Alba's collection over at this blog some time ago I finally decided to get some pictures up of mine.  Here is Paul's link

Also Please note that a couple of the units in various armies were painted by Galpy, they include my Dutch Lancers, a unit of Hussars, a unit of French Dragoons and a unit of Nassau Infantry.  I hope I didn't miss any...  his link is below

Anyway here is the collection to date.  This all of my painted 15mm Napleonics.  They are a combination of AB, Old Glory, Essex, Battle Honors and a we bit of Minifigs.

Above is my British Infantry command stands and skirmish stands to date. 1x40 Guard unit, 1x20 95th rifles (Irregular mounting) and 6x3 man skirmish bases, 5x32 Line infantry units, 1x32 Highlander unit(w/ Approp. skirmisher stands) and 1x32 Nassau infantry unit.

Above is my British Cavalry and artillery, as you can see I need a bit more here.  I will get more of what I need here when I do my next AB order. 1xbattery of Congrieve(sp) rockets,1xRHA battery, 1x RA Battery, 2x12 Hussars, 1x12 Light Dragoons and 1x18 Heavy Dragoons.

Here are my 1806(Jena) Prussians.  I still need to flock the bases on these and I still have a TON more to paint of these as well. So far 4 various infantry units, 2 batteries of AB artillery still to finish w/Limbers, 1x18 AB Kuirassier unit. and some AB command stands

This is my French Artillery I have both Foot and Horse Batteries here and they are all AB except for a few cannon above... 3 foot batteries and 2 horse batteries. As stated below these are getting rebased.

Here is my French Cavalry here are 3x12 Dragoon units, 2x18 large Cuirassier units, 2x12 Guard Lancers, 1x12 Lancer, 1x12 Chausser and 2x12 Hussars. Also command stands at the lower right.

Here is my French infantry and skirmishers so far, they include 2x32 Guard units, 1x Legere unit, 1x32 Suisse line unit, 7x32 Line units.  So that is the collection, I have been painting this since around April last year when I started collecting and painting them.

I am in the process of rebasing my Artillery as I had the bases lengthwise for depth and discovered that they should be based width wise also on the table right now and in the process of painting are an AB French lancer unit, 1 AB French Legere unit, Some AB Napoleon and retinue. and another unit of Dragoons again AB.  Oh well it is not much but it is mine and ready to table for the most part.  Enjoy... Cheers.

15mm Napoleonics Collection so far, well almost all of it... ;)

My camera was not cooperating so I wanted to warn you up front and apologize for the crappy pics.  Anyway this is almost my entire 15mm Napoleonics collection that I have painted up so far.  I painted all of these this year so as you can see I have been busy.  I still have a ton more to paint but I will get it done some day.  Anyway on the Left are my French and on the Right nearest to the camera are my British and farther back on the Right are my Jena Prussians.  Yea I know Jena Prussians together on the same field?  Probably never happened historically but I have mainly been focusing on my French and only until recently started back on my allies that being the Jena Prussians.  Originally I started painting up the Brits but than moved on to the French after finishing the first 6 British Infantry units and the artillery.  So here they are...

15mm ACW Collection

Well I have finally got my 15mm ACW collection ready for the table.  Actually I have had it ready and played 2 games with it over the last month and a half, but I would be remiss in not posting them to my blog. Most of these miniatures are Old Glory with a little Essex and Musket Miniatures thrown in for good measure. The lower 2 trays are my CSA(Confederate) troops and the upper 2 trays are my Union troops.  I guess you can tell by the pictures where my loyalties lie... LOL  I was born and raised in the south and now live in California of all places, go figure.  These armies are based for Johnny Reb III with each 4 stand block of troops being one regiment.  I still have over 1200 pcs of 15mm ACW troops still to paint, but I can see that I need to work on my union troops some more to have parity.  You will notice the black bases in the lower first tray, those are 4 more limbers I have for the Union still to paint which I just noticed are in the Confederate Infantry tray.  I guess I should move them up to the Union trays... lol  Anyway it is not much but it is a start.  I think there are about 600 figures in here and all of it painted this year!

Well here is the lot from the trade I did yesterday and this is not all of it!!!

Ok lads here it is, this is about 90% of the stuff.  It was kind of a hap hazard collection, like the Prussians are from 1806 or there about's and the Brits are mostly from 1814-1815 but then there is a bunch from 1806.  I even found some Russian hussars. It is so much stuff I will never be able to paint it all, but I will try!!! :) I had a lot of unmarked stuff of which the infantry I was able to identify, but the cavalry is some what hopeless!  I must have about 100 packs of Cav from various nations that I just can not figure out, and Essex' website is less than helpful.  Do any of you know anyone that is an Essex Nappie expert?

The picture above is just the British, and don't let this picture fool you it is stacked deep! Below is most of the collection which also included about 1000 ACW miniatures pictured in the top center.

I imagine at some point I will trade some of it off, as I need French Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry especially  Cavalry.  So if you are up for trades PM me and I can get lists out of stuff for you too look at...
