Painted - Prince Hohenzollern

 Pack AN1 from the Perry Bros. this is the Prince Hohenzollern.  Just thought I would post the new pictures I had taken before he returned to his owner, some flaring off of the uniform and facial highlights unfortunately.

Please click on the picture for some Perry goodness.......

aWIP SYW Hanovarians

I have started getting some of the good stuff on to these War Time Hanoverians, a fairly deep base and some midtones. I don't think I will take the more commonly trod path (orange) with these as far as the highlights go and opt for a softer highlight.

Dynamic Tension

Oops,  you know that dynamic view button that blogoogle had placed right in your line of sight whilst studying your blogger page.......

Uh huh, I was stoopid enough to give it a look'see and play and...... why doesn't anything appear like it does on the demo/help page..... and where are my pages...... and...  and... just breath........  OK all the posts are still there but I think it looks a bit bleak in regards to ....everything else? Bear with me bloggers while I try to sort it out over the weekend.....

Ephemera - Napoleonic Rules

As a rule I don't post gamey topics on this blog (fig v fig for my gaming shenanigans) but I thought I might break my rule in this instance. Recently purchased a copy of Republic to Empire by those scary looking chaps at the league of Augsburg and Clarence Harrison of Quindia fame throwing a spanner in the works for good measure.

Now I know "blah blah blah" been out for ages "etc etc" but bare in mind the last Napoleonic specific rules I purchased was a 2nd hand copy of Bruce Quarries (machine gun Quarry's) rules back when I were a pup, this is a big event in the PaintPig house hold.

Anyhoo having read the hoopla on various fora about this set I was still determined to have a look anyway ☺ 

Well, so far they, seem to be quite sensible from what I can tell so I will press on with them. I'm considering using these as a prompt to get a rather bulky collection of unpainted 18mm lead into action and possibly for some "12 figure unit" 28mm action. Any Napoleonic aficionado's willing to offer up some thoughts?
