From KenR: 28mm Napoleonic French Artillery (120 points)

I've got three Project trains running side by side this year and it's Napoleonics time again, I'm alternating French / Prussian etc so here are the next reinforcements for my French Plancenoit build.

This represents a Battery of 3 x 6pdr guns plus a Howitzer which was attached to the Young Guard Brigade I am building. It consists of 16 figures with 4 to a gun on a 60 x 90 base. I was keen to keep base frontages consistent throughout this project and depth was just what looked right.

The figures are from Elite Miniatures and are sold as a Battery in one pack. For those who follow Yarkshire Gamer you will know that this has been a bit of a nostalgia dive for me, I painted a load of these for the Wargames Holiday Centre back in the day and after 25 plus years without doing any it was like putting on an old pair of slippers. I love em.

Points wise, 16 x 28mm figs at 5pts each make 80, plus 4 Artillery pieces at 10 each give me a grand total of 120 points.

These are getting posted on Saturday for the next Thursday so I would expect at least another ship before then. I'm working on some Spanish Heavy Cavalry for the Italian Wars at present whilst the next Napoleonics will be Prussian Landwehr.

TeemuL: I like your big ships, but I like these 28mm minis even more. Strong colours and neat finish is a strong combination. I also pay attention to your bases, it seems that is somekind of idea how the ground actually looks like and not just gluing random tufts here and there (and mostly trying to hide something...). Good job, and we will meet again today!

From MattW: Prussian Landwehr and skirmishers 200 points

 Prussian Napoleonic Landwehr and skirmishers

More additions to my Prussian army, a Silesian Landwehr battalion for my 1813 Prussian army collection along with a commander for my current WIP Landwehr regiment. Another regimental commander for next weeks entry another line regiment and finally some Prussian line skirmisher command which missed last week. The 28mm miniatures are from the elite miniatures range, as per most of my Prussian collection.

Smashing work on these Landwehr and skirmishers, Matt. I'll look forward to next week's continuation of this project.

From MattW: Napoleonic Prussians (40 points)

 Napoleonic Prussian Landwehr and Fusiliers

As the current flavour at the club is Napoleonics' I have commenced the completion of my stash of Prussian Miniatures. These figures were from the Elite Miniature range which has a lot of character and I like when they are in big units as they have that movement and character of ranked units. I have two more battalions, a dragoon regimen, two hussar regiments and two batteries of guns to complete the stash. I do need to purchase another brigade so I can have a full division but they will be Calpe I think. 

Skirmish Fusiliers

28mm miniatures x 8 @ 5 points = 40 points

From MattW: Prussian Jagers and Schutzen (60 points)

Prussian Schutzen and Jägers

lacking in my Napoleonic Prussian army are my schutzen companies and Jagers, rectified this week with the addition of 24 figures. We have been playing Napoleonics at the club playtesting the new Perry Rules, the Prussian Napoleonic Jagers and schutzen will help combat the French hordes…. The miniatures are 28mm Elite Miniatures which gave a certain character and make up the majority of my Prussian 1813 army. More to come over the next five weeks
