Painted Soldiers Play Better

A blog for painting historical wargaming miniatures. Periods covered include the chariot era, classical world, medieval period (Clash of Empires), colonial Africa (specifically Sudan), Old West and World War 2 (Rules of Engagement). As all gamers know, painted soldiers perform better on the tabletop than unpainted ones. It's just a scientific fact. The dice gods respect painted armies and frown upon heretical, lazy or impatient players that don't treat their armies with love and care.

23ÈME RÉGIMENT DE LIGNE

40 man regiment representing two battalions of the 23rd Line Regiment, based for Wine, Mud & Dumplings, a most excellent ruleset by Tony Carasco. This is my big project for the year, likely to extend well into 2014. At the moment the plan is to paint 72 Light Infantry, 40 Cuirassiers, 16 Dragoons, 6 Guns and various command types. Next in the plan is 20 Cuirassiers which should take me until the end of June.
