This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

Eagles of Empire French Line Infantry - WIP
Just a quick blog post showing the WIP of the French Line Infantry. Waiting on the Minwax stain to dry.
Prior to the staining - block paint job. Lots of firing and reloading poses.
So much for now. Happy painting and good gaming to you all!
Thanks, Scott! Yes, I must admit the uniform drew me into the period more than the history. FPW only last for 6 months - with mostly Prussian victories. Love the red pants and red kepi. Warm regards, Dean
Thank you much, Iain. Yes, I think 16-figs are a nice amount to get through at a time. The sculpting and posing are also conducive to painting. Warm regards, Dean
Wow! It's a beautiful uniform, for sure.
