I am looking for a concensus of the Best Napoleonics rules set.

I have several Napoleonic's rules sets and am deciding which would be the best for me to "commit" and why.  Therefor here is the list I have to chose from, please keep your selections to those listed below, UNLESS you have an exceptional reason for a different set.

1. General D' Brigade Deluxe Edition.
2. Republic To Empire.
3. Lasalle.

Could you please give your opinion for which of the above and what makes them the "best" in your opinion.  I have both 15mm and 28mm armies from several nations painted over the years to chose from to play them with.

Thank you very much in advance for your opinions and time.


Cheers.

Warlord Games Bolt Action British Para's

Well finally got some pictures out of my camera and onto my PC.  These are Warlord Games British Para's that I have been working on for the last week or so. The castings are typical of Warlord games, very good! They also paint up nicely as well.  So anyway here are some pictures of them.  Also please remember I am having to paint with numb hands so they are not as good as other stuff you have seen on their blogs. I did my standard of late of painting up the base colors on the mini then dipping in Army Painter strong tone then after that drys using anti-shine and high lighting them. I hope you like them.

PC hardware issues preventing me from uploading new pictures of stuff I have been working on.

Since my last post, I have been working on several projects, two new(ish) and one trying to finish up.  The first being...

1. Bolt Action - British Para's
2. Bolt Action - Late War WWII Herr infantry
3. SAGA - Viking 6 pt warband


Now here's the rub, my card reader has decided to act like Napoleons Cuirasier at Waterloo = err (spent)!  So despite my best efforts I have not been able to get my images from camera to PC and the onto my blog.  I will be working on getting this up and fixed soon so that I can get this done.  So there will be content to look at shortly.

After seeing what happened to BEASTS OF WAR....

I decided to remove ALL of my content that pertains to my Games Workshop products, after all I wouldn't want any legal troubles from GW.  I have also sold all, I mean ALL of my 9 WHFB armies and 7 40k armies.  I am sorry to have to do this but I will also Never buy another GW product again, as have ALL of my gaming friends.  This decision had been made long before this due to constant price increases, but what the "Legal Eagle's" did in respect to BOW, we are done, ALL DONE!!! Hell the game wasn't that good anyway, any more IMHO!  Since there are PLENTY of other makers of fine makers of mini's and rules etc to make this a "Painless" prospect to accomplish... GW don't piss on your supporters, they might just turn the fan around to point back to you...


Good Bye....

Well I am back, for what it's worth...

I have had some issues with nerve damage in my spine that makes my hands numb and I can not feel light pressures very well especially with my right hand, and I am right handed.  I have not done any painting in well over a year now if not longer but am going to try to paint again.  I can not stand it any longer.  When you see new stuff posted here after this date, please keep that in mind. I am struggling with this right now.

28mm OG foot Samurai

I finished these a bit ago but just finished basing them.  I found a box of washers in my toolbox that happen to be 20mm outside diameter so they were used on this project.  I will use them for the whole lot of Samurai I am doing.  On these I hi lighted them some after the dip to help them get "bright" again so to speak.  After all have you ever seen a dirty Samurai? ;)  The back banners are from the Wargames factory Ashigaru plastic boxed set.  Again sorry for the crappy pics...

28mm OG mounted Samurai and Ashigaru archers

I finished these up several days ago along with some foot Samurai which I will post later.  These are Old Glory from the Samurai line, which I find very good.  These were finished with Warlord Games Strong tone dip brushed on as I usually do.  I am debating doing some hi lighting on the brighter colors to make them stand out more.  I did do this on the foot Samurai I will post later, so you will be able to see the difference.

28mm OG Mounted Samurai Bowman

I decided to skip all the WIP posts for obvious reasons and just post the final result prior to basing.  These are OG Mounted Samurai Bowmen.  I do like the OG figures in their Samurai range they appear to be better than a lot of the other ranges IMHO.  These are painted up for the Sengaku period but not specific to any army yet, although I do have 2 armies in mind as I generally have to build both sides of the table forces wise so to speak. These were "dipped" using Warlord Games quick  shade strong tone.  Anyway here they are.

28mm Samurai Infantry WIP

Okay so I finally got the guts up to try to paint my Samurai.  I need some comments on what is done so far what looks good and doesn't.  They are in a basic WIP right now so no where near finished.  These are Old Glory figures, which I was pleasantly surprised to see cast very well. Anyway I an doing the Sengaku Period for both of the armies I will be painting.  As I have few to no partners to play games with that have mini's I have to build and paint both sides as I am sure you have figured out from previous works I have posted here.  That goes for everything I want to do with historicals in this area.  Anyway here they are, I need constructive criticism good or bad, things you like and things I need to change.

Cheers

More Napoleonics painted in the last couple of days. This time the 4th Cacadores

I have had all these AB mini's in my mini storage for sometime and havent done anything with them since I got on my 28mm ancients kick.  Anyway as usual AB's are the best, but you all know that, these are painted as the 4th Portuguese Cacadores. I really liked the the brown with the light blue contrast.  I am playing around with my camera trying to learn it better and playing with exposure compensation etc as normally my pictures are less then good.  I also re-did the AB British 44th Infantry in my last post so go back and look at the pictures.
