Golly gosh didn’t realize I Hadn’t posted any new stuff for a couple of months!! Thanks for the birthday wishes BTW guys!
Well here are some more Napoleonics I’ve been busy with, 1st Battalion King’s German Legion Hussars. Quite pleased with them especially as I HATE painting horses!! Oh and please check out the new blog I’ve started, here’s the link:

Hope you like the pictures and the blog!?!
Abecedar:
Many years ago i got hooked on the “Sharpes” series of books. Every time I go to the races I think “Bloody Hell” if that was ten horses what must’ve a hundred been like?
vulcanologist:
Thanks Abecedar! Yes I used to read the Sharpe books too. Yes I know what you mean… I bet a full cavalry charge was pretty spectacular…and pretty terrifying too!
Yodrin:
As I said on the other thread of yours, great stuff, hehe 
vulcanologist:
Thanks Yodrin glad you liked them!

Those of you who have read my Flames of War posts on my blog (link at the bottom of this post) will know my love for the Durham Light Infantry (DLI)
If you haven’t looked at those posts, please do…there is some great history and personal accounts from members of the Regiment.
When I started painting Napoleonics, the first regiment I painted was my Gordon Highlanders. This was purely because they were the only models that my local games store had in stock! My plan quickly evolved though to try and re-create the 7th Division from the Peninsular War (specifically the Battle of Vittoria) because they included the Durham Light Infantry.
The 7th Division is actually very interesting . It was known as ‘the Mongrel Division’ because it contained such a mix of troops from different nationalities.
Here is my eventual planned units:
1st Brigade: Major General Barnes:
1/6th Foot Regiment
3rd Provisional Battalion
2/24th Foot Regiment
2/58th Foot Regiment
Brunswick Oels (9 coys)
2nd Brigade: Major General Grant:
1/51st Foot Regiment
1/68th Foot Regiment
1/82nd Foot Regiment
Chasseurs Britanniques(French)
3rd Brigade:Major General Le Cor
7th Portuguese Regiment
19th Portuguese Regiment
2nd Cacadores
plus some supporting units of cavalry and artillery.
Well, that’s enough of my plan, here is my finished 68th Foot (DLI)

Yodrin:
Wow, thats a cool looking regiment!!! Great job!!!
vulcanologist:
Thanks Yodrin, glad you like them! Haven’t painted much Chaos Dwarf stuff lately but I have managed to enter this Golden Hat and I’ve got a Chaos Dwarf Blood Bowl team in my painting queue… Another regiment of Napoleonics first though!
DAGabriel:
Oh lord, stop making my fingers itch. They look great, but I think I`ll abstain and remain true to my CDs and Steampunk.
vulcanologist:
Haha…thanks DaG… I have to stop myself being lured by the next new shiney toy too!
Thommy H:
Ooooh…lovely stuff. I have no interest in the period whatsoever, but these look really great.
vulcanologist:
Thanks a lot Thommy! Not really my favourite period either! I was just getting a bit bored of painting fantasy stuff and thought I’d try my hand at some historical miniatures! Picked up a box of Victrix stuff really cheap then some Perry brothers plastics. Excellent value for money I must say… paid £10 for each box containing nearly 50 figures with loads of options, painting guides, historical fluff, simple rules and paper banners…fantastic!!
vulcanologist:
Finished my first unit of British Napoleonic artillery. The 3 nine pounder guns and crew are from the Victrix box set with the addition of a couple of mounted Perry artillery captains.
I enjoyed the change of painting blue rather than red! A few more units of Infantry are planned next and maybe another unit of cavalry.
Comments and criticisms are most welcome as always…
Yodrin:
Great stuff as always 
Kera foehunter:
Bravo !!! what a very nice army well painted and based
Bolg:
lovely, and thanx for sharing!
Paint job over all is good but I’m very very impressed by the great paint job of that uninion Jack flag!
vulcanologist:
Thanks very much guys (and girl :)! )
This Napoleonic bug is biting hard… nearly finished another unit of infantry and started my next unit of cavalry… almost time to bring on Old Boney and give his Froggies a damn good thrashing… what. (No offence intended to all my French (or Corsican!) friends here!
