Welcome

Welcome to my wargaming blog,
I'm Dave and live in Morpeth, Northumberland in the UK.
This may or may not be a regular thing, we'll just have to see how it goes.
I am a painter/collector of figures first and a wargamer second. My thrill in this great hobby of ours is to place that final well researched & painted unit into the cabinet. The actual gaming with the figures is an important but secondary experience, we all like to win, but it isn't the be all and end all of it, being with good friends and having fun is.
Hope you will enjoy reading this blog as much as I will writing in it.
Just to remind the visitor to scroll down the various pages and click on 'older posts' to see more.
Dave.

1870, Imperial Guard, finito compleato!

Done, finished, that's the 1870 French Imperial Guard compleated, here's the pics:

French 1st Guard Division (Voltiguers):









2nd Division 1st, 2nd and 3rd Regiments plus Guard Zouarves:








Guard Cavalry Division:

Now for them to sit uselessly in reserve awaiting the moment when Bourbaki finally makes a decision.
Dave.
