New Napoleonic releases
I am absolutely delighted to mark a real milestone in our work on overhauling and representing the Magister Militum Napoleonic range. Firstly, the Austrian infantry codes have now all been converted to strip format. This means that of the ‘Big Five’ nations of the Napoleonic war we are over half way, with just the Russians and Prussians to do.
We are now also able to provide the new format artillery pieces for the Austrian, British and French armies. The Austrians get 4pdr, 6dr, 12pdr and howitzer in both foot and cavalry versions. The French get 4pdr, 6dr, 8pdr, 12pdr and howitzer, and the British 6pdr, 9pdr and howitzer. Not only are these new models pin sharp and beautifully modelled we’ve taken the opportunity to plug a few holes in what had previously been available.
Put together this constitutes a major upgrade in the quality and presentation of these lovely models, but also makes what is being offered more comprehensive in coverage.
But, we are not stopping there. The patterns have already been made for the Prussians and Russians to join the party, along with their redesigned artilley. We are also working on the equipment side of things with limbers, caissons, carts and forges all scheduled to be added to the lists in the coming weeks.

Finally, just to prove that we know that there is life outside of the Napoleonic wars, we are well on with preparations to get stuck into the more popular side of the Ancients ranges. Visitors to the Tenth Legion section of the Baccus site will have seen at first hand some of the prototype Greek and Hellenistic strips we’ve had on show.
It’s going to be a busy year!
On a personal note, I have always loved painting the Austrian army of the Napoleonic wars. It was my favourite when I painted the display models for Baccus in 6mm. These were no exception. A much under-rated army which looks outstanding on the tabletop.
