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.

28mm 4th East Prussian Landwehr Rgt, 1813-15

 Another project finally rounded off, not finished of course as there's always the possibility of adding to them, but finished for now. Prussian 'brigades' were large during this period really amounting to a small division so as you will note when you look at the pictures of the 'brigade' I have added a second brigade commander plus the divisional command stand (Blucher of course) as my go to rules are General de Armee so I will split the division into two more workable units.

All of my Napoleonic 28mm have been built to contribute to the rest of the club members collections so I can't see them being added to for a while but I certainly enjoyed painting them all up.

You will note that the Landwehr battalions are smaller than the line and will be classed as small units in the rules. They will also be conscript, again for a bit of variation on the line troops. All Landwehr are Perry's, I really like Calpe figures but his ordering process is a complete pain in the arse particularly for Landwehr which isn't even on the main page and must be typed out for each individual figure ordered. His loss and mine, shame but get with the modern age or lose money!

If you want to see closer photographs of the rest of the brigade scroll through the 28mm Napoleonic section of the blog.

Next, maybe hundred years war English and Scottish mounted knights?

Take care, stay safe,

Dave.
