| The Young Guard, perhaps my favourite unit of 2018? |
 |
| The combined Marines of the Guard and Guard Engineers (just look at the anchor on that flag!). |
 |
| Another 'daughter' for the Emperor. |
 |
| Not forgetting the line artillery. |
 |
| It was a good year for the Traffic Warden Corps. |
 |
| And for this star of Coronation Street. |
 |
| Some heavy metal for the Guard |
 |
| British RFA - at last! |
 |
| These lads broke the bank but they are pretty. |
 |
| The Black Duke. |
 |
| Some fancy troopers |
 |
| Technically I didn't paint this one but I'm including him in the line-up anyway - marshal Davout. |
 |
| The Brunswick Owls. |

A splendid parade sir...
I don’t think I can pick a favourite.... they are all lovely.
All the best. Aly
A wonderful panoply of shiny troops! Both impressive and inspiring. Happy New Year!

I hope you got as much joy out of painting them as I did following your progress on the blog. May 2019 be especially productive for you and who knows maybe a regiment of line chasseurs? [possibly my favourite cavalry type]
Well done in your efforts. Like you my favourite unit is the Young Garde, a cracking regiment.
An excellent years painting Ian, I do like the combined Marine and Engineers battalion some real character figures in there, and of course I'm glad that Davout was spared the bleach, hes a little gem!
Thanks chaps!
Thats a pretty decent output and certainly comparable to mine. I run my year to the end of March and so far have painted 56 foot and 34 cavalry figures since April 18.
The Young Guard are also my favourite but I also have a fondness for the traffic wardens.
Yes all lovely and quite a rate of productionbwithout any drop in quality.
Chasseurs are lovely ....this combination of yellow and green being particularly impressive.

Mark - looks like you have a good chance of passing my total!
Roy - no chasseurs due this year, maybe 2021!
A fine years work.
Thanks Matt, only problem is that I seem to have acquired more figures than I painted!
I can only echo what's already been said. The quality of your output this year has been simply stunning and immensely inspirational - which is to say incredibly distracting. I want regiments like that now!
All the very best to you and yours for 2019
This is an incredible effort for the year - the quality is incredible!
WM - thanks for that, a Happy New Year to you and the family!
Thanks General Picton although your own output is something to aspire to!
Hi IAN,
Happy NEW YEAR - may 2019 be an excellent year for you and your Projects. Brilliant painting there! Well done indeed. Cheers. KEV. (Sydney-AUSTRALIA).
Thanks Kev - and to you too!
Trumpet or bugle ;-)
Looking good though
Who's Roy? But perhaps the more important question is does anyone in the vintage 20mm / HH actually have a painted unit of line Chasseurs à Cheval?
