French 1813 Finished! Huzzah! However, my photography (especially colour balancing) is worse than my painting. All Pendraken bar the caissons which are from Lancer Miniatures.

I have created a convention that heavy cavalry (proper heavy cavalry) ride black horses, so they stand out on the table.
Altogether 648 infantry and 320 cavalry; 5 batteries of artillery. Massively weighted in favour of cavalry - 32% when I usually aim for about 15% to 20% - but compared to the infantry, they were interesting to paint.
A very impressive army! Over 1000 figures, excellent work.
As to colour of photos - I've found that the green wargaming table seems to really confuse digital cameras - probably as there is just too much of one colour. Taking a photo a bit wider out to get some other items in the frame, then cropping can work quite well.
Thank you Fred, I'll try that.
Very cool Nobby 8)

I'm sure this is finished in the typical wargamer's sense of a finished project. I.e. I have enough done to field a good sized force for a game, with options available, it doesn't mean that at some point in the future I might well find some extras that need adding.
QuoteFinished! Huzzah!
I do not understand this concept of ... finished.
They look excellent Nobby, I am just finding the concept of "Finished" hard to process. :)
Finish (v)
- bring (a task or activity) to an end; complete.
- complete the manufacture or decoration of (an article) by giving it an attractive surface appearance.

I do realise I have no Guard in this formation.
