Over 200 Spaniards

I thought I would make a quick update, as I've been painting still even in my silence. I haven't painted much except more of what has already been seen, I plan to paint up some cavalry next though for some variation.

As is the army has crept over 200 figures and is shockingly almost 50% completed.

Spanish Updates

I haven't painted as much as I would have liked since my last post, but I do have all the infantry for the 1st Division as well as the command base for General Cuesta.

Zayas' First Division has a mixed bag of troops, but should be one of the most solid Spanish divisions. Still to come for this division is the artillery, and Zayas' command base.

General Cuesta was injured during the disastrous battle of Medellin and so was moved around in a mule drawn carriage. I am unsure if I am finished with the carriage as it is now, or if I might come back to it. I do however really like it as an unusual command base, and can't wait for him to see the field, despite his Poor rating.

***EDIT***

I finished Zayas' command base and the artillery base so, here is Division 1, with an appearance from General Cuesta, and all my currently painted Spanish troops.

Starting the Spanish Army of Estremadura

With the French army, and my Exams, done and behind me it is time to start the Spanish Army of Estremadure, led by the much maligned Cuesta.

In my plans the Spanish army at Talavera weighs in at just under 500 figures, and most of them a pretty rough selection of infantry, although to spice up the army I will be modeling Cuesta, who had been incapacitated in an earlier action, in a donkey drawn carriage, although the models for that have not arrived here yet. All the other figures have arrived however, and so I will be starting the way all products should begin. Line infantry.*

*Technically the first Line unit is done, owing to it being the unit I had painted for my French army, until I learned Joseph's troops real uniform. Instead I am technically painting a new unit for the French army which just had its Spanish Soldiers swap sides.

In 10mm even an entire army can fit into half a dozen small plastic bags.

The Finished Army

After several months the army is finished at last.
618 figures and 16 Cannon are now ready to face the as yet non existent Anglo-Spanish army.

And now for some pictures.

Victor's I Corps

 

Sebastiani's IV Corps

The Whole Army

The Penultimate Touches to the French Army

Having hit 600 figures, and having run out of bare lead to paint, I now await the final artillery pieces which will complete the army.

I will in this small update be only posting 2 pictures, one a quick image of the army on my shelf as it was a few days ago, showing the scale of the army, and the other an image of my attempt at hand painted flags.

These Standards are for the Spanish Troops of Joseph Bonaparte (an army rather commonly unmentioned by everyone) and the Badenese troops present at the battle. Hopefully I have done an adequate job with these flags and my enemies shall cower before them!

A Month without Updates: 500 Figures

Hey guys, so it's almost a month since my last update and I've covered a reasonable amount of ground.

Since that time I have reached the 500 figures painted mark, (503 currently to be exact), I'm not going to post whole army pictures until the whole army is completed however because it is so close now, just a few months at most.

A selection of units completed this month.

The 2nd Hussars, in all their glory

The 4th Baden Regiment - Sorry for the shaky camera work.

The 21e Dragoon Regiment.

WIP first base of the mighty Vistula Legion. I know the Czapka is incorrect for the Vistula Legion at Talavera, they should be in Shakos, but the extra character for this elite unit was too much to resist, And I think it looks good.

That's all for this update,
Thanks,

Spanish and Germans, The allies so far.

No post for a while so I thought I'd update on my progress.

Currently have 347 (55.70%) figures painted, including all of the Spanish troops (pics below).

As well as the Spanish I have painted up a unit of Westphalian Chevaux and a base of Confederation of the Rhine infantry. I don't like my Confed infantry, but I love the Chevaux's uniforms.

Next up, finishing the Confed infantry, followed by either Polish infantry or some artillery which I've been putting off.

PICTURES OF THINGS MENTIONED

The Confederation Infantry I'm not so sure about.
