"Christmas Project. British Peninsula 28mm for Black Powder" Topic

Hi all,

At the start of December a couple of the local lads decided they wanted to get into Black Powder. I suggest starting with Napoleonics as like all of us I knew I had figures to spare hidden away.

So commencing on 27 December and planning to finish today, the last day of January I would have my Peninsular British ready to go. Well I did get all the painting done, the basing but failed to finish the flock, flowers, bushes etc on the bases.

Here is a pic of all the work done less grass on 80% of the bases. I will do that over the next night or so.

Here is a link to the album which shows a few more shots.

Once the flocking, basing is done I will add pictures of each of the individual units.

However here is a quick summary. (All infantry are 24 figs, skirmishers, cavalry are 12 figures per unit)

3 British Infantry Units. (Coldstream, Buffs and Kings own)
1 Highland Unit (Gordon's)
3 Portuguese Units (21st, 23rd and the loyal Lusitanian legion in green)
2 Rifles ( 95th and 60th)
2 Cacadores (5th and 7th I think)

1 Hvy Dragoon unit (1st or 2nd sorry late can't remember)
1 Light Dragoon unit (10th)
1 Hussar unit(15th)

1 Royal Horse gun
1 Royal artillery gun
1 Royal Horse Limber

6 Commander Figures
6 Casualty figures.

So I came up short on want I wanted to so. Still have a couple of guns of each type, another limber, 2 Light Infantry units and the 42nd Highland. But these will now be done as time goes by. All in all I am happy with the outcome and was a lot of fun finally finishing a project.

I apologize early for those die hard historians amongst you that may be picky on some of the colours, but take a breath please. I painted them to enjoy the game, not put in a museum.

Anyway that said, I hope you enjoy and as always comments welcome.

Better pics in a day or so.

Cheers😆

Sorry but all I get is the army picture, then a whole bunk unrelated photos. Would like to see some close ups.

Wow that is prolific and quality work! Well done.

P.S. It might be the photo but the British guns look very blue instead of a medium gray.

Ditto the Iron Duke. Well done.

In a month. You are kidding me right

Fantastical

Thanks guys, yes a months work. Being on leave from the military gave me the time oh and an understanding wife is always important. Yes the guns are too blue and I now have the proper grey to fix them. Same grey as the limber.

Will follow up with some pics.

ok so here are some of the pics. All bases finished and figures ready for the flags to arrive and get fitted. Flags are coming from Rick at Flag dude.

Here is the whole shebang!

The limber was fun. I made the rope joining each pair of horses using twisted wire and model ship chains to attach at the back of the limber.

Wonderful work, e=xtra especially in so short a time.

Oh, and I think the "new" grey for the Artillery isn't blue enough! :-)

Congrats on a project looking so good!

Thx Gonsalvo, thanks Mark and hope you are enjoying the Cavalry. Look forward to seeing some pics when you get them done
