I am not sure how well these pics are going to show up. I was using an older camera and it seemed to wash out alot of the shading and highlighting.

But for my fellow Dakkanites here is my napolienic foot guard army.

This army began,,,about 8yrs ago with steel legion troopers painted as pretorians,,,old RR's and tanks,,yes tanks,,,and through the yrs has gone through many changes,,,this is the latest version,

I used alot of perry brothers french cav bits for converting bodies,head swaps,ect.

Love it

Too awesome, this. One of the coolest Guard armies I've ever seen.

Fantastic! Nothing like a well converted and original IG army.

Thank you.

Anything in particular folks like?

It took forever to trade or pick up the empire gun carriages from a discount bin at a store I used to go to alot.
Once I had everything it has taken me about 2yrs to paint everything up,,,,switching between this,my SOB and Bretonnians,
Not sure why the guadguns not in the pictures,woops,,,,

I LOVE WAGON WHEELS!

Awesome awesome awesome

I like the feel and the army as a whole, but I particularly like the Rough Riders.

Hah, those are some sweet conversions! Love the firing lines.

Gotta love an army like this. Well done

Thank you all for your kind words,I wanted to do something that would stand out/'not what everyone else was fielding and it fit into my being a huge fan of the sharpe series and a history buff/

The rough riders are perry brothers heavy french cav I got from the war store

Very creative and cool. I like it alot

Thank you///WOW over a 1000s views,,

One of the things I wanted to do with this army was as Ive said feed into my love of history,but also,its something not everyone else is running,I get rather bored seeing the same cookie cutter online lists fielded over and over.

Its fun to run and Id hope go up against,Ive won games,lost them,slaughtered folks got slaughtered but to me the key isnt winning all the time its how enjoyable the game is.
