„The Coalition forces of the Napoleonic Wars were composed of Napoleon Bonaparte’s enemies.“

Furthermore, I am now completely falling under the spell of „The Silver Bayonet“ by „Osprey Games“, and the rule-set’s official line of models produced by „North Star Military Figures“. I’ve already managed to rattle off a couple of these monster hunters from the United States Unit I purchased whilst at „Colours 2024“, and fully intend to finish the remaining six members of my team before I attend „Warfare 2024“ in November. Indeed, one of my main reasons for travelling to the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre in the near future will be to pick up a couple more warbands, and a few of the supernatural creatures they may well encounter on their adventures.

„Napoleon’s overwhelming defeat of the Prussians in the battle of Jena was followed by the rapid collapse of the state.“

To get the ball properly rolling for this month though I have cracked on and completed a sixth Napoleonic Prussian soldier from the set PN063 Infantry in Peaked Cap Marching by „Wargames Foundry“. As with all his identical comrades-in-arms, the figure was predominantly pigmented using „Vallejo“ Sombre Grey, Stormy Blue, Heavy Red, Heavy Sienna, Gunmetal and a selection of „Citadel“ Shades.

September 2024 – „Wargames Foundry“ rises on a wave on Napoleonic wargaming fervour

However, I do feel that things may well change over the coming days. Whilst I’m perfectly content to stick to „North Star Military Figures“ and „Wargames Foundry“ for my Silver Bayonet fix, rather than look to something like the Napoleonic Dread range of STLs found on My Mini Factory, I have once again started to look at the myriad of digital files I own for my 3D Printer. This could so very easily become a major distraction for me – especially as I’m already dipping my brush-tip into the realm of science fiction, thanks to „Black Site Studios“…
