Latest Purchase......

 

This is my latest purchase and the possible start of a new project! Not another one, I'm afraid so, very much in the planning stage at the moment but with some inspiration gleaned from various blogs I really think this could be one to go for. If it happens I will be going down the Elite Miniatures route as I really like these figures a lot and they do a pretty extensive range of Spanish, Portugues, British and French and should cover all the figures I will need.  Not totally decided on rules, maybe Black powder but we will see, the book purchased will be used for some ideas to begin with but I may well go with the main rules.  I already have some uniform guides for British and Portuguese and off course the French, will have to find something that covers the Spanish if I decide to go down that route. 

With this project being a distinct possibility I may get rid of some of the stalled projects and sell a few of them, I will think about it but it may be the time to pass some of these onto someone who will use them, time will tell! I do have way too many projects on the go and will have to prioritise and rethink what I can and can't continue with.  Interesting times as always!!

  1. I like Elite Napoleonics. They exude a certain, charming arrogance. Which projects are on the chopping block?

    1. I love the whole look of Elite as well Jon, they really are the business for Napoleonics. Much thought required for what will go, not a hundred percent sure what to bin.

  2. Donnie, I know we are all butterflies 🦋 but I think you may be the King of the butterfly movement!
    Hoping to see this progress to the point you get some figures on the table! I know they are not as visually appealing, but have you considered Epic...they still look good when painted, and have many advantages

  3. I really find it hard to stick to one thing Keith that's for sure, my main problem!! Looked at Epic but I am doing an ACW one and don't want to start another one in that scale. Just waiting word from Elite to place my first order with them and then I can start and hopefully remain fully focussed!!

  4. Another post,another project, it's difficult to keep up! Valour and Fortitude which is a free download from the Perry site is my current go to for Napoleonic, I obviously like it and it has the added benefit of costing nothing, it's also related in some ways to Blackpowder if you like those rules?
