Title: French 1809
Post by: xccam on 13 January 2015, 05:13:15 PM
Hey guys, I want to post my painted Pendraken guys, even though compared to some of the stuff I've seen here they don't look that great, I'm sure with practice I'll create an army the Emperor would be proud of!

Anyway here is a picture of the army as it was 2 days ago, and a link to the blog I plan to keep updated in my signature which hopefully explains my plans for the army.

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know I've hit 500 figures painted, and there have been some fairly significant updates since February.

Hi Xcam. Welcome from me too.

May I suggest you take your figures into the next club meeting and show them off. You'd be surprised how much interest you'll arouse.  ;)

Well done, the end results look great and just serve to inspire met o get mine done and also to try and raise my painting standard.

What size bases are you using? I have 40mm wide with 6 figures in two ranks, but I rather like yours with the extra figures.

Nice work, xccam. But still a long way to go.  :) What are you going to do about the Spanish?

Project coming along very nicely, Xccam!  :-bd =D>
Title: Re: French 1809
Post by: xccam on 06 May 2015, 02:09:14 PM
Thanks guys!
@Norm The bases are 60mm x 30mm
@Hertsblue as for the Spanish I will possibly use MM primarily as they stock a Napoleonic Spanish range. Either way the Anglo-Allies will be put on hold for now whilst I do exams and such, but after that we will see where we are regarding Peninsula Brits and Spanish.
