SOLD Painted 6mm Napoleonic 1809 french and Austrians for sale!

These have SOLD thank you!

I am simplifying my life some more and selling off my 6mm Baccus Napoleonic armies for the 1809 campaign.  They have not seen the table is years and AWI is my horse and musket period of choice and I'd rather see these fulfill their destiny on someone's table than gather dust in a drawer.  Plus I promise to immediately reinvest the revenue into my other projects!

Here is the catch, the two armies are based slightly differently, I got around to rebasing one and not the other.  The French are based per Baccus Polemos Standards on 60mm x 30mm bases while the Austrians are based on 20mm squares. You can play with them like that, you just have to move more stuff with the Austrians!

There are also bags of extra unpainted troops and a Bavarian contingent, see below for inventory.

Most of these are professionally painted by Fernando Enterprises, with maybe 20% painted by me.
All painted figures are Baccus, some of the unpainted are Adler Miniatures.

You get in total...

  • 1,304 Infantry
  • 168 Cavalry
  • 21 guns with crew
  • Commanders and unpainted troops

All for the low, low price of $700 US!  I will ship for free via USPS Priority Mail with insurance anywhere in the continental US. Overseas, we'll price it out and you can pay actual postage.  Pay Pal only please, let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for looking!

3mm Eastern Front Painting Update, Soviet Motor Rifle Brigade

Despite my distraction with 3d printing and the holidays, I have made more progress.

Every Tank Corps had 1 Motor Rifle Brigade, which I will be representing with 6 x Bases of Infantry and 1 - 2 bases of 45mm Anti-Tank guns.  Infantry is not terribly photogenic, but I believe they will look great en-mass. 

You need a lot of Infantry for a Tank Corps or even a Panzer Division for that matter.  Not as sexy as AFV's, but a critical component of the combined arms team.  As I fiddle with the rules and hopefully start playtesting, I want to make sure that is represented.

Here is a single Brigade:



And both Brigades for the double-blind game:

And my updated Kanban Board, whoohoo!

Good gaming!

3d Printed, 6mm Snake Rail Fence (and use your local library!)

(Note: yes, I know this is a distraction and pulling my limited spare time from my main project, but... this is awesome!  We will be returning to our regularly scheduled programming soon)

I finally decided to give 3d printing a try.  What pushed me over the edge is my wife is now working for the county library system, and they just so happen to have a "Maker Space" at the main branch that includes three 3D Printers!  You can print at $1.50 an hour, and this is a great way to try 3D printing before you invest in a printer or a way to get a few terrain pieces cheap.


Contact your local public library and see if they have something similar!

I am eventually going to finish my 6mm Rebels and Patriots project, so for a proof of concept, I decided to print some 6mm split rail fences.  I found exactly what I needed for FREE on Thingiverse HERE.  All I had to do was download the files, copy them to a thumb drive, and take them in.  The ones below took 2 hours to print and only cost me $3.00!



Here is one of the sections, which is about 100mm / 4 inches long, with painted (but not flocked) Baccus AWI militia, on 3mm thick bases, to give you an idea.

I am trying to stay focused on my 3mm East Front project. so I have not painted these yet.  But they are waiting for me in a drawer for when I am.  The files at the link above have a few different styles and lengths to meet your needs.

So... Guess what I am getting for Christmas!  Now back to trying to wrap up the Motor Rifle Brigade of my Tank Corps...

Good Gaming!

More Blog reorganization

Real-life is slowing down my project progress, but I have the Motor Rifle Brigade plus 45mm anti-tank guns painted and washed, but the base flocking is the time-consuming part.  I hope to get them into the done column in the next week.

I have also done some reorganization of the blog and my web sites to possibly make them more useful.  Take a look and let me know what you think!  See the "Home Made Rules and Projects" section to the right.

I also switched the font to hopefully make it more readable.

Good gaming!
