There’s been loads going on this February, but nothing especially new or finished enough to deserve a blog post all of its own. So here’s a quick mixed bag post.

There were a few games of Blücher with my new Prussians…

I have nearly the full first two corps for the 1813 campaign done. The third corps will need another order from Heroics and Ros, but I put that in by email last week.

In that order I also looked at my next 6mm project, English Civil War and managed to get a large lot of unpainted H&R ECW minis on eBay. I’ve been planning how to base these and I think I will be using 30mm square bases, three to make a regiment, with command markers on 20mm squares meaning that the troops can count for either side as needed. I trialled this layout last night. I have a lot to do before I get round to these!

Here’s what I have in progress on the workbench. Note that I still use glue and filler rather than acrylic sealant for the bases of the artillery. You can also see the Slaanesh Hellship I need to get painted for the Man O’War tournament I’m going to in a few weeks.

The large hill/mountain is well underway for Arroyo Molinos at Hammerhead. I just need to add some additional details. I got a couple of games in with it as well.

I did think I might get chance to do the 1/1200 Spanish Napoleonic ships I’ve had for a couple of years, this after a couple of very enjoyable Fighting Sail games. But no, other things have jumped in again. I „need“ to get some 6mm Marie Louises painted for the French 1813 army!
