Waterloo Project Update - New Guard Units Completed

The march towards Waterloo continues - with light at the end of the tunnel!  I already had completed units of Young Guard and Old Guard Foot Artillery before heading down this path.  I plan to add a unit of Middle Guard in the future (ordered from Perry, but will not be done in time for DundraCon).

In the mean time, I've taken pictures of the completed units that fill out the "Guard Corps" for Waterloo.  I'm really happy with how these all came out - I've always wanted an excuse to do all the cool looking French guard units, but until now I really couldn't justify the time and effort to do it.

In other news, the talented and most excellent David Skibicki has completed the Waterloo mats and posted a couple of pictures up on his blog (http://spudnick080.blogspot.com).  Re-posted below ... I have to say David really outdid himself on these mats - they look great!  They arrive next Thursday and I'll promptly be getting all the terrain staged on it (everything on the terrain front is complete).

You can see a picture of the scenario map below ... great to see it put into reality.

Scenario map - oriented in line
with the picture below.

Oriented with the map above.  Papelotte
would be int eh rectangular clearing
on the nearest edge.

Looking from the other side.  Hougoumont
would be in the near side clearing.

Steady progress is continuing.  I'm down to just 18 line/light infantry units that are on bases, but still need to be textured, painted and static grass/tufted.  The end is nigh!
