Title: Napoleonic Bavarians
Post by: Shecky on 04 December 2020, 02:35:57 AM
In what is probably a new record for me, I was able paint the entire Napoleonic Bavarian Army Pack in about four weeks. The record is not that I painted them in four weeks - the record, or milestone, is that I painted every single figure in the army pack! 
They were really fun to paint and now I have more allies for the French.

These are based for Et Sans Resultat!. The Bavarian Army Pack equates to a fair sized corps in that game.

Thanks everyone for the kudos.

I wouldn't say I've completed the project - just a sub-project of a much larger one.

Here are my unpainted Napoleonics.

My gaming buddy just gave me his recently received Austrians to paint. Then I also have a full 1809 French Army pack, another 1809 Austrian Army pack, Russians and Prussians.  It's about 6 pounds of lead left to paint.

Seems it is the season for finishing 10mm Bavarian projects.....  :-bd 

Very nice looking troops Shecky.

Saw a post on another forum yesterday from a gamer who claimed to have 20,000+ unpainted 15mm Napoleonic figures.... :o
