Progress for today – based 150+ Orcs. the time just flew by 😛 Actualy just put the weekender on and went into robot mode so it did pass quite painlessly 🙂

Still need a bit of a touch up to get them to tabletop standard but shouldn’t be too much more work for them to pass the 3 foot test – you can already see that they are orcs 🙂

Also got the current batch of Napoleonics up to the varnish stage (will give the white another touch-up thereafter so please ignore the mess).

@mage these are French Napoleonic line infantry for use in Sharp Practice. Minis are a mix of Perry Miniatures (2 box sets of “French Napoleonic Line Infantry 1812-1815”) and the French half of the “Waterloo” Black powder starter box from Warlord. I’m starting with all the minis with greatcoats for no apparent reason 🙂 From memory I still need another couple of dozen more painted upi for a decent sized starter force (From memory 4 blocks of 8 line infantry, plus 3 blocs of 8 line infantry plus 2 units of 6 skirmishing voltigeurs is roughly equivalent points-wise to the British force I have of 4 units of light line infantry plus 2 units of 6 95th Rifles plus commanders. The only halfway expensive thing I have bought so far was the box of 95th Rifles from Warlord – it was GBP20 for 16 metal minis. (all the other box sets are Perry minis and pretty much GBP20 for 40+minis or 14 cavalry). So with the Sharp Practice rules, Waterloo Starter and the Perry boxes I have probably dropped about GBP200 into this endeavour, and that has given me about 250 infantry, 2 dozen cavalry, a cannon, a smattering of officers and a both a skirmish level and mass battle rules set to use the same minis with.

With regard to a Space Marine, these are ‘true scale’ 28mm, so a lot smaller than the standard ‘heroics’ we all know and love nowadays 🙂
