After what seems like an age, but is only 4 weeks, I’ve finally managed to finish editing the latest episode of the Meeples & Miniatures podcast and it is now available for download.
This show concentrates on Napoleonic gaming, as I review the Polemos Napoleonic rules from Baccus, along with Baccus 6mm figures and 6mm terrain.

Well, I’ve just finished painting my first few strips of 6mm French.
I must admit to being somewhat disappointed with the outcome so far, though I cannot quite put my finger on why.
Maybe it’s because I’m not used to painting the scale (still too geared towards what 28mm figures look like?), and I know that you can’t really completely judge a figure until it’s based and finished, but I do know that I’m not happy with the result at the moment.
Having had a conversation with a friend, I have decided that I needed a new set of paint brushes, and so the weekend saw me purchase a set of Windsor & Newton brushes - only the Galeria range - but this company has a very good reputation, so I am looking forward to seeing how they perform in comparison with the brushes I have been using up until now (primarily Games Workshop).
