An Army Finished.

I have been working on this army for a bit over 14 months.  I have had the figures for much longer, but I finally decided to paint them up.  I did so because I wanted to play DBN more.  I initially wanted to build a 10mm or 15mm army, but at the time 1/72 was the most viable option – but just two days after I finished painting, Warlord Games come out with their Napoloenic Epic range! Talk about bad timing – but hey c’est la vie!

DBN is not my favourite Napoleonic wargame, but I have a very soft spot for it.  It is easy to play, sets up quickly, cheap to buy into miniature model-wise and can be played within an hour and a half – if you know what you are doing.

It is one of the best time/space economic game systems in the Napoleonic range and worthy of consideration.  It has its flaws and drawbacks, but I will discuss that on a different post.

Below I have some photos of the command stands I painted up for DBN, as well as other for other games.

Next up are the Fusiliers, the heart of any French army.  I will try post them Friday evening.

That’s a fantastic collection. The command stands look great, nice characterful little dioramas, and the painting is excellent. Really looking forward to seeing you share more posts of the other units.

One question – now you have the French painted, are you going to start an opposing army?

Beautiful. Nothing quite like a well painted Napoleonic army on display. Takes a lot of effort, but always worth it in the end!
