This is probably why my Warrior Napoleonic have sat in their box unused since I painted them in the 1980s. <br /><br />My preferred manufacturer for the Napoleonic period would be Minifigs S Range, which make up the bulk of my 1815 era armies. This is why I have used my old Warrior figures in a stand alone period, namely the Peninsular War. <br /><br />I saw pictures of an old school wargame which used a Napoleonic Russian army versus a French allied force made entirely from Warrior figures, which gave me the incentive to dig out my old Warrior figures and to acquire the Spanish.Bob The Old Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799920263660656268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-76352439907735989832017-09-19T13:28:09.915-07:002017-09-19T13:28:09.915-07:00I think a big part of anyone's wargaming is th...I think a big part of anyone's wargaming is the aesthetics of the thing - what appeals to you and how you want things to look. Warrior Napoleonics are so distinctive that personally I don't find they go with other 25mm figures and I don't think I could cope with two armies all in that pose. Stylised can be good - I am quite fond of Rose 20mm Napoleonics for that reason, and I feel they mix much better with eg Hinton Hunt and Minifigs 20mm/Alberken, also I probably could cope with armies of the things. So if I say for those that like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing they like I am not doing them down, just saying I don't share this particular aesthetic. And of course painting makes a tremendous difference.Vintage Wargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251018372867101509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474733860161790452.post-14973868327504829182017-09-19T06:08:10.258-07:002017-09-19T06:08:10.258-07:00These have a great deal of appeal actually.

I've known about Warrior since my beginnings in the hobby, but have never seen any of their Napoleonics in the flesh as it were.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.com
