Recently Painted No 16 - Napoleon


Napoléon Bonaparte  ruled France from 1799 to 1804 as First Consul, and from 1804 to 1814 as Emperor of the French, as well as a 3-month period in 1815, called the Hundred Days.

Command group with Napoleon, his Marshals and aids. Figures are by
AB, painted by myself and Postie



Napoleon searching for the enemy. Figures by AB painted by myself and Postie
Napoleon, dictating orders. AB figures painted by Postie
Would you like a drop of brandy Emperor, "Only if it's Napoleon, Madame".  Figures by Essex, I believe  and the Cantiniere came free with Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy. Painted by myself and Postie

    Very nice work! I really like the larger staff vignette. 15mm is so great for this (especially with AB stuff). The equivalent 'scene' in 28mm would take a good portion of a game table.

    @Paulalba, Man Cave & Rosbif - cheers chaps!
    @Curt - Yep! also cost you an arm and a leg and take a damn longer time to paint! 15mm is the king!

    Wow eleven Napoleons. I recognize him every time.

    In pic #6, neither the dragoon nor the Mameluke will tell the Emperor he left the cap on his telescope!
