My small Portuguese army complete

[Bill Slavin]

As I mentioned in a previous post here, last February for my birthday I treated myself to a big order of 1/72 Portuguese Napoleonics from Hagen Miniatures. At some point I realized that if I was going to fight my way through the Peninsular battles I would need more than just the French and Spanish armies that I had laboriously built up over the past few years.
I shared some of those earlier results then but have recently finished painting the lot and thought I would post the final results here, along with the three new infantry brigades I've painted - Chaves (12th), Lagos (2nd) and Freire (4th).
There are lots more photos and information on the Portuguese on my blog:

Great example of a subject that isn't seen *that* often.

Yes I think you definately need the Portugese for the Peninsula, and these look very nice. Excellent painting and perfect shading on some very nice looking figures. I love that long coated officer.


And, once again, a fabulous backdrop for your photos.

Very nice, indeed, Bill.

Great figures, but the backdrop is what really makes it stand out! Love it!

[Bill Slavin]

Thanks all. The backdrop is a corner of my Tudela board, a battle that the Portuguese (of course) weren't present at!

Beat the french!
Did you really finished your portuguese army? Or do you have still further expansion projects?

[Marvin]

Very satisfying for you to complete the project - and very satisfying for us to see it! Your cavalry and artillery look particularly impressive on your blog.

I am a great fan of pictures of completed armies, very inspirational. To add to the joy, these figures are painted in high quality! I like the bases with the rounded off edges by the way. May I ask where you ordered them and what sizes they are for every unit type?

[Bill Slavin]

Hi Coen,

Sorry about the delayed response! The bases are homemade, cut from a thick floor tile, corners rounded off. I'm not sure about the sizes - they are the AoEII basing, sized up by 1.5 to accommodate 1/72 scale.
