Black Powder: Napoleonic Portuguese Army!

There comes a time in every gamer's life that they get old enough, fat enough and grumpy enough that they here the call of Napoleonic wargaming haha... and i have reached that time!

About a month ago i posted on our clubs facebook group about wanting to start Black Powder, and got a phenomenal response from the boys, we now have about a dozen of us at various stages of beginning our forces.

I have decided to collect a Portuguese army hehe, the blue uniforms combined with the fact they have some decent light infantry sharpshooters and also were a smallish force so not requiring tonnes of different units sealed the deal.




This is my first unit, Elite Sharpshooters called Cacadores (Hunters), pretty similar to the British 95th Rifles of Sharp's Company fame hehe.

More to follow soon!

  1. Hahaha, spoken like an old grognard mate 😉. I haven't had the call yet, though I must admit I've been really tempted to do a semi historical primeval project.
    Great start, they look fantastic!
