Wellington and Picton

Greetings,

 Here is Wellington (left)  and Picton (right), painted and based. I'm not quite happy with Wellington's horse colour, but I'm leaving it be.







 Oh, and due to the sheer horror of some of my friends I have purchased several yellow paints. Although I'm not a fan of hearing that it is a harder colour to paint than white. I'm going to try and get a unit of French line painted for the weekend for a game against an American friend of mine. Hopefully I will be able to stop his force of Spanish and British.


Photos, army lists and battle report hopefully will go up on the weekend.


Regards,

Uxbridge

Greetings,

It has been a while since I've posted anything, but I have had about a month sabbatical from posting. No idea why, but I think an elusive camera might have been one issue and me not painting much being the other.

Recently the Waterloo rules from Warhammer Historical has been on my mind a lot. I've had two games using the rules. one at 1100pts and one at 1500pts. I have bought a multitude of extras for the French and the British forces that I already had. 

Here is Uxbridge, Wellington's second in command during Waterloo. There are a few things wrong with him. His sash and cummerbund should be yellow with a red stripe through the middle, all that is orange on him should be yellow and it should be a leopard skin on his horse not a tiger.
Reasons why, I have no yellow paint. The green and red sash and cummerbund break up the orange and blue, and I like tigers.
