Napoleon and his staff: work so far


  I've been busy painting Napoleonic figures for the Wargame that I'm hopefully going to run next week using the General de Brigade rules. I've decided to make up a command vignette for Napoleon inspired by the one on Tarleton's Quarter, although mine lacks his personal escort. Apart from Marengo (Napoleon's horse) the figures are virtually complete, it's just a matter of finishing off the terrain on the base which, due to its size, is going to take a while. In the meantime, here are some more pictures of the command set at the moment.
