The summer tends to be a bit quieter for me in terms of actual games played and painting done - as I suspect it might be for many others. It seems a shame to spend too much time indoors when the weather is (usually) decent, but with the days cooling down a bit and getting shorter I can start to look forward to some busy winter months immersed in this wonderful hobby.
These two bases of horse artillery were finished at the weekend for my 20mm Napoleonic French army. As usual, the figures are by Newline Designs. I now have at least some representation of all the main army elements for both the French and Prussian collections - horse and foot artillery, line and light infantry, and light and heavy cavalry - but there's still a hefty pile of unpainted lead to get through.
I'm undecided about what to paint next. For gaming purposes, the most useful thing would be to focus on getting some more light cavalry painted, but I'm very tempted to get started on the guard units for the French, of which I now have several on the 'to do' list. Whichever wins out will be hitting the painting table tonight, so I'll hopefully post some more pics to share later in the week.
Besides the 20mm Naps, I've been chipping away at my other collections over the past few months, including another Napoleonic collection, this time in 10mm using Pendraken miniatures. I will get round to doing some posts on these and other things in future posts.
