Iv'e been painting for around 4 weeks before I started the blog, so I do have some models all painted and based up, just spent this morning applying a second layer of sand on the next 5 bases.
Once I have these based up I will be sitting on 3 Legere and 10 Ligne. I do have to get some more Legere done next though.
Will look at photos later on today and get them posted tonight
After painting 4 guns and crew and basing them, realised I should have put them on a 30 x 60 base with limber (on a 30 x 30). So they will be rebased when I have painted the Limbers
So here what I am aiming for:
21 Bases of Ligne / Legere combined
2 Bases of Young Guard
2 Bases of Old Guard
3 Bases of Bavarians
3 Bases of Chassuers a Cheval
2 Bases of Curassiers
2 Bases of Dragoons
2 Bases of Bavarian Cavalry
1 Base of Hussars
1 Base of Grenadier a Cheval
8 Guns with Limbers
2 Bavarian Guns with Limbers
So thats the list around 39 60 x 60 bases, 10 30 x 60 bases and 8 30 x 30 bases (generals)
A big target by September this year, but will be painting hard to get it done

6mm Napoleonic - The Beginnings
Well when I first looked at Napoleonics I started bigger. I painted a British 15mm Napoleonic Army. While this looked great it just didnt feel like an army. About a month ago one of my friends decided to start a business. He introduced me to 6mm Napoleonics and Baccus miniatures. Since then I have been converted.
So with that here is the start of what looks like to be a huge project for me. We purchased the big box set of Peter from Baccus, and I placed another order just after.
I will be updating the blog on a regular basis with pictures of the miniatures (French) as i get them done. The goal is to produce a fairly large game for a Napoleonics Convention which we hold on the North Island of NZ each year. I am happy to annouce that Taupo will be hosting it.
So a little about what the project is and what were trying to achieve.
The period is 1809 campaign, French & Austria. I took on the French and Craig took on the Austrians.
The rules that we are using are Polmos rules by Chris Grice. We decided to go for the larger scale and use Marechal d'Empire as this suits the larger battles. Bases are 60mm x 60mm (more about this as I post photos)
Well thats it for now, will be posting photos over the next couple of nights
