My 6mm Dutch Napoleonic army arrived today from Baccus. It has a lot to it!

3 Units of Dutch Line Infantry, each of 24 figures
3 Units of Belgian Line Infantry, each of 24 figures
9 Units of Militia Infantry, each of 24 figures
3 Units of Caribiniers, each of 9 figures
4 Units of Light Cavalry, each of 9 figures
4 Artillery pieces
3 Command Bases

I also got 40 bases and the flags. Have a look at some of the pics I snapped really quick. I'm not sure how to tell the different infantry apart yet.

Just finished painting up the French Commander. This isn't a guide or anything but If people are interested I can make one. It was painted with Vallejo and Reaper paints along with some Army Painter for the washes.
Right out of the Ultrasonic cleaner.
Primed in Armory Grey Spray.
 Base colors done.

 Immediately after the washes.

 Final highlights.


Complete!

Great mini! I'm gonna pick up some more Blood & Plunder minis for my stash. The sword has a weird kinda sash hanging from it. Its entirely possible its flashing. I just decided to paint it up and think it looks nice. All that's left is to paint the base rim black.
I recently got the Dark Imperium box set for 40K. If you can find it for less then 100 bucks its a good deal. I just finished the commander from the box set, I think hes a Sergeant? I also got the Army Painter Dark Angel spray to help me get them primed and base coated quicker. 

 Green color scheme. I'm not doing Dark Angels I just like green.

 This is a Dreadnought I primed with the Army Painter. I'll see if my color scheme works ok with it. The Space Marine above was just brush primed black and then base coated with Reaper.



I got the Bolt Action starter set, Band of Brothers. Its pretty cool. I decided to build a German force and then maybe a Japanese force. I'll not bother with an unboxing of the starter set as many exist already. I just ordered a bunch of German units and maybe I'll unbox those when they arrive. I did just get some new stuff through and I'll slap some pictures of those up now. Then tomorrow I'll post the unboxing of the Japanese infantry box.

 First up is the err.. Fighting First Paint set. This had some colors in it I was after. I also got the Patton's Fighting First FOW set not long ago.


Just some general hobby things.


 Motor platoon to help fill out the various FOW desert war boxes.

 This is from a new pirate miniatures game called Blood and Plunder. Pirates! I love pirates and wanted to see what the minis where like before I bought a big set of them. I think its 28mm or maybe 30. Great detail for a metal mini and only cost about 3 bucks. I might start painting him right away. He's also based on a cool wood plank deck.

Wow, I didn't even post last year. I did think about it. I never stopped buying or painting minis either. Having a job really cuts into your free time. Anywho I hope to be back and posting more. Im trying to decide on an inexpensive camera at the moment for taking pictures and shooting video. I want to be able to record more painting videos and just ramble on about minis like many of my favorite wargaming YouTubers do. Check back for more stuff soon!!!
