Printing 24 Chasseur a Cheval to add to my 9 battalions of french infantry ahead of next years re-fight Of Leipzig. Better crack on only 51 weeks to go! Mcdonalds XI corps

Borodino was just one of the three 1812 battles we refought this weekend. Three great games with brilliant socials afterwards. A rough estimate is some 2000-3000 figures on the table. With @johnsavage.bsky.social @frazermac.bsky.social @cakeweaver.bsky.social @fredworthingham.bsky.social and others

Napoleon Savage urges his men on,

First game of BIG napoleonics today. Extremely enjoyable day. Helped by mainly fighting against @fredworthingham.bsky.social and later on @johnsavage.bsky.social with good results. What a spectacular game.

Borodino table being set up. I’m on the left of the Russian line, protecting the village of Utitsa. French still deploying.

Certain people on here have slowly groomed me into the big battle game, I’m here to tell you it’s not worked. Obviously I’m wrong!

Getting terrain ready for an Egyptian based gaming weekend in January, an Oracle, Sphinx and part of a gorge entrance printed, something feels a little off!

A thoroughly enjoyably Pinot Noir assisted evening concludes

Final part, clay on the pantiles.

Pure white.

Storm cloud, faint touch on the woodwork too

Rose vanilla, probably not needed

Ivory

Portrait pink.

Drybrush of Raw sienna avoiding wooden areas

Drybrush of Uluru sunset on all but wooden areas

Dog 💩brown base layer on the next 2

Really happy with the result. 4 more to go.

4 colours in, 3 lighter shades to go.

Stables ground floor complete, it’s a beast!

Test palette piece done, oh how we suffer for our art!

First step with my recently printed peninsular buildings, polyfilla slurry wash. Grey primer to follow then let the painting begin. Following the guru’s instructions. @joewargamer.bsky.social

Next years Lard day project has started, a return to Spain and Sharp practice. Featuring a certain officer risen from the ranks, What a B’Stard!

With the advance in modern medicine not sure this is required!

Making some activation cards for my Broadside bonkers ( working title The Full Nelson ) game at Britcon in a few weeks.
