Gallery 6mm Napoleonic Officers

I use the officers as required, so they are nationality neutral (as much as possible)

Adler are the manufacturer.

3 figure base for C-in-C, 2 figure base for Corps, Column or Wing commanders


Divisional officers

I now know that that the gun carriages should not be brown.

All my French infantry.

Line Infantry

Light infantry

Old Guard units










French Foreign units

WIP: Painting 6mm Austrian Infantry

For something different (for the last several years I have been running a lot of WW2 games). I plan on running a Napoleonic game in August for the HGA.

Instead of  French vs. Anglo-Portuguese in the Peninsula, I am going to run an Austrian vs. French Battle, I am thinking of the 1809 Battle of Sacile, or something hypothetical.

To get my interest piqued I decide to paint up some more Austrian infantry and probably some  cavalry.

All I have done in the following pictures; is prime the figures in white, painted the bases green and blue-tacked the figure strips to water bottle lids




Gallery 6mm Napoleonic Anglo-Portuguese Army

A blast from last century.

I painted these in the early Nineties or maybe even late Eighties.

All figures are Adler 6mm.

Uniforms are pretty basic, when I painted them I had minimal Internet (via compuserve), as I recall I had to photocopy pages from Library books.

They are based for Napoleons Battles (1st ed). All measurements were reduced to 80% of normal, due to the 6mm smaller size. The size reduction also let me play on a 6'x4' table instead of 9'x5'
