now that looks like an infantry line ! gotta love the big battalions 
great work as always

It wasn't until I based them up that I really realised how big the battalion was
I did think there were a lot of figures to paint

[Matt J]

Really REALLY good mate.

Amazing - digital photography can be a cruel medium for the little fellas, but these are magnificent.

Good progress on the current batch, most of the detailing done
Brass, officer's sashes, skin and hair to do

Looked out the next batch, the first of the French; officers, artillery and Brigadier General Armand-Louis de Gontaut, Duc de Lauzun's Legion Hussars

Detailing including brass and officer's sashes done
Skin and hair to do

Prepared the next batch, the first of the French; officers, artillery and Lauzun's Legion Hussars

Cut out the labels and flag for the current batch
Realised that I don't have enough bases ready for this batch
Sorted out enough to cover this batch and the next, need to get them prepared and painted

[paulr]

Skin and hair done last night
Touch ups done this morning
I'll do the wash this evening, once the touch ups are fully dry

The next batch, the first of the French, are waiting for space to open up on the painting rods, hopefully tomorrow afternoon

Bases prepared and both sides painted last night
Edges of first half done
About to start the edges of second half

Wash done
Final dry brush and figure bases to do tomorrow once wash dries overnight

Base edges all painted
Magnetic vinyl glued to bottom of bases, will dry over night

They are not for the faint hearted

That's a lot of troops.  Lovely work on all the figures so far.  I really like how you organize your troops with the basing.

[paulr]

I've just checked the spread sheet as I realised I hadn't include all the 6mm 1944 German infantry, that didn't change the numbers significantly

The spread sheet error that didn't include several of my WW II forces in the totals was significant

The revised numbers are...

6mm - Ancients, Napoleonic, WW II, Modern
8,710 Infantry
1,201 Mounted
1,199 Vehicles and guns
11,110 Total (increased by 1,206)

10mm - Ancients, AWI, WW I
2,660 Infantry
  494 Mounted
    27 Vehicles and guns
3,181 Total

15mm WW II
  274 Infantry
    76 Vehicles and guns
  350 Total

Naval - Age of Sail, Pre-Dreadnaught, WW II
  342 Cruisers and larger
  279 Destroyers and smaller and cargo vessels
  621 Total

15,262 Grand Total
