Napoleonics! The Brigade is taking shape....

Phew. Been painting some Flames of War lately for a Desperate Measures list, but I've been getting bored with the same old tri color scheme. There's so much dunkelgelb you can paint before you just get sick and tired of it.

And then there's Archeage, a PC MMORPG. Ugh. And that sucked in about 2-3 weeks of my time. Shame to me.

And then it happened, I randomly put on some French napoleonic marching songs from Youtube, and my Napoleonics bug hit me. Hard.

So I then started painting up some voltigeurs for my current 10mm Pendraken collection, and before I knew it, I finished up a new Infanterie Legere battalion.

A bit blurry, but the collection of what I have right now painted. A small infantry brigade, with an addition of a Hussar regiment.

The infantry. The closest Legere battalion is the one I just finished painting this week.

Artillery battery.

Ersatz Panzer III preview!

Some preview shots of my Panzer IIIs (well, one for now) for my future Ersatz Panzer platoon for either Market Garden or Desperate Measures list.

These Ersatz tanks were either replacement tanks, training tanks, or simply last ditch efforts to bring armor to the front.

Hence these look like as if they've gone through hell and back.

First time I've actually gone this far in adding battle damage in the form of wear and tear to the paint, and this being the preview, I've still got quite a few more details left to add - and I plan on adding as much dirt as I did to my Panzer IV Js.

Models are Plastic Soldier Company Panzer IIIs.
