Connoisseur Miniatures Spanish Napoleonics - very nice range of figures! |
Thought it was time to post a few pictures of some Spanish Napoleonics for the ongoing Peninsular actions being fought upstairs. We continue to plan more games and this is the perfect time of year to sneak a few in.

The eagle eyed will spot a Front Rank Sapper and Drummer boy that has been pressed into service. |
This is one of four battalions that Herbert and his team at DPS have painted up for me and I have finally gotten around to base. Along with a brigade of Spanish Dragoons they will help bring the allied contingents of the Anglo army up to speed.

Lovely Spanish white with sky blue facings - always a lovely combination. |
The Connoisseur range always gets a good rap from me and this is for obvious reasons. The figures are well animated and proportioned and always look sensation "en masse" for battle in the "Grandest Manner". Though I use General De Brigade set of excellent Napoleonic rules, the large battalions suit me to a tee!
They also match in very well with the Elite Miniatures range of Napoleonics which I do prefer for the Peninsular. The flags are from the incredibly talented Grahame Black from GMB Designs.

Spanish Grenadiers with their exotic cloth "bags" on bear skins. Beautiful...especially when painted by others! |
Will hopefully get a few more of these finished shortly and the lads can have them on the field fighting the French.
