Napoleonic Parade

 Normal programming has returned.

A parade of my French and Dutch Napoleonic armies.

Both have had their bases freshly flocked to make them presentable on any wargamers table!

The French Army was painted in the second half of 2025 while the Dutch were painted in late 2022 or early 2023.

All figures from Pendraken in 10mm

A bird's eye view* of the battlefield. The French force in the foreground are attacking the Dutch across the river who are defending their windmill.

* actually one of the Montgolfier brothers.

I have updated my terrain as well. With new streams and rivers and roads that have all been flocked on their edges to blend in better as well as being based on  1mm magnetic adhesive paper. This lies a lot flatter than when thicker material I used before. 

I have also made some additional fields and bought some cows and sheep to add for scatter terrain.

Just the Dutch

And the French from overhead

French from their front

Closeup of M. Napoleon surrounded by his favourite things. The Old Guard to the right, the Grenadiers to the left, and the Grand Battery to the front. (and a nice place to sleep behind him)

French from the side

Dutch at an angle

Atmospheric shot of the French through the trees. (Ridley Scott will be quietly jealous)

Now he will be furious.

There is a lot of the little buggers!

Not so many Dutch.  Where are the damned British!

When will the British turn up? When will a game of Napoleonic's be played?

Stayed tuned ..... but not soon.

I think we will be going Victorian before we go back to Napoleon. (And maybe fast forward to the 400th century, but nothing is set in stone it is all written in the sands of the desert 😁)
