Ah, man it's Ancient Hastings 😁 awesome looking battle!
You kinda need a balance of both. Ordering your army about is one thing, but other factors like shooting the enemy, fighting hand and hand, retreating, all should be done on luck, and the discipline of your troops.
Hope you didn't lose the King's Colours?? 🤨
Same here, writing my own Black Powder era rules atm. Love Black Powder, but the Orders page in the Black Powder rules is veeeerrrrrry long 😵
Mmm, Normans, great Victrix kit.
Went to a chat with Abnett, he talked about this movie. He said it was crap, but he also wrote two versions. One with more action and larger fights, etc, and the one we got. He thought the first one would be too expensive to make. Turns out, the one we got was the dearer version 🤣
Lovely cavalry force! I'm tempted to get some Napoleonics in 10mm.
Thank you, I bought it that day in fact, during the Battle of Evesham reenactment. It was a blistering hot day, so it kept me cool, and kept my head well protected from swords and arrows from those cheeky baron soldiers 😁
It's fun nonsense to read, though. Just read your review on the Wuttemburg army, I really need to check out Piano wargames 😁
My favourite hat 😁
Looking good! 😍 The red uniformed ones in the middle, what are they, if you don't mind me asking?
Had a good look at your website, amazing stuff! General De Brigade looks to be my fave. Skirmish games like Sharp Practice are cool, but you just can't beat the sight of whole armies on the table 😍
I really don't mind simpler, if it means I can get more minis in battle, all the better. And yeah, they look great. I'll have to get some and compare Victrix too
As someone who bought a box of Duchy of Warsaw line infantry, I'm very impressed with them. Look forward to seeing your review.
Also, the rest of your collection is top notch.
Yeah that's what I thought, they fought side by side at Borodino, as I've read, along with other German states. The Bavarians lost an entire cavalry force at the Great Redoubt.
Think I'll add a few other German states to the army too.
😂 I knew wargaming was an old hobby, but wow! Now I wanna see your Punic Wars collection of a thousand models, cause holy hell. You can't mention and not show it all 😁
Amazing, I didn't know another company did 28 hard plastic Bavarians. Thank you 😁 I was gonna get some Front Rank for my Portuguese, mainly command figures.
They are beautifully painted, all of them are. And 600, wow, the largest army I have is normans, about 300 or so; rookie numbers 😂
Amazing! The infantry the Victrix kit?
Thank you kindly. I can see British and Austrian flags, what other armies are there in this beautiful collection?
There you go.
Would love to see some Napoleonic armies, pretty please? For inspiration!
I have a kit of Bavarians from Victrix and a box of Duchy of Warsaw from Perry's. Normally I'd play them as two separate armies, but I decided to combine them into a single, french allied army.

My own chaos marine force was a renegade force, kinda stopped cause the new chaos minis looked too chaos-y. With these, they'll be making a comeback 😁
I can no way justify buying this, other than the fact it was 'simply there' 🤣
Just a rough draft of a new game I'm working on. Been in my head for ages, wanted to get it on paper. Next is to get it on Word.
Where did you get the Ogres from?
First painted minis of 2026! Napoleonic French for Black Powder. I'm pleased with them, but the colour of the blue uniforms could be a bit lighter, I think. Still, that's something to consider for the next sprue (three more to start).

What was everyone's tabletop Christmas goodies last year? Just got mine from some vouchers my mum gave me (best present ever.)
Nice, I was looking at WW1 naval gaming, would love some heavy dreadnought action.
Is Blucher any good? I got Eagles to Glory for my 2mm Napoleonics, like looking at others, lol.
Ooo, that's quite ambitious, I hope you pull it off! 😁 I painted cavalry for the first time this year, I actually thought it was easier than I expected.
