This was a free sprue from Warlord Games advertizing their French Line Infantry. I have some plastics in my collection of figures but I prefer metal. This project had just the right amount of model work that appealed to me. Glue on a head, attach the backpack and roll. No fuss, no muss. I have never got into painting Napoleonics and I don't have a lot of knowledge of the period. This was a simple project. Only six figures and my Spanish Guerrillas do need a target to ambush. I went for a ragtag look. The greatcoat made it easy to paint.
There is one thing worse than painting miniatures, and that is to have unpainted miniatures. Captain's Blog will provide an audience, or in other words motivation, to stimulate my war game miniature painting productivity. In Halifax, we had a great group of gamers and we were constantly in competition with each other. I do not have the same community support in Montreal. I hope that by blogging regularly that I will force myself to paint more. Are you up to the challenge? Pick up a brush.
