A few pictures of the lovely 1812-up Russians from the Napoleonic range. Just my humble contribution.

Wow, that army certainly looks great. The advantages of 6mm in full display.

I want to build a Prussian 1806 army (my first wargame army from decades ago), but need to convince some of my wargaming buddies to jump into the water.

They look great!

I have a similar approach Lekw who buys more figures only after clearing a good portion of his backlog.

I managed to complete some ancient Greeks, Egyptians and ACW and treated myself to the Ravenfeast packs. Completed the vikings so Normans and Saxons to finish. 

Next need to complete my WW2 forces before I can start the madness of My Napoleonic journey.

If I can figure out how to post I will let you all see my efforts

Thank you all for the kind words!!! I have 1806 Prussians in the pile and promise to get to them and put on the blog at some point. Lovely Baccus figures. Enjoy the blog and thanks again for the feedback!!!

Look great.  I am intrigued by the type of gamer who paints the caissons before the guns.  They are usually the type of thing that gets added at the end when one is out of stuff to paint!

Thank you so much!!! For some reason in 6mm I love painting caissons and limbers from Baccus because they are easy to put together and are details you don't get for an army in larger scales. I think it really is one of those cool things you can do in 6mm. I actually have the guns on the painting sticks for this week so they should be on the blog in the next update.
