Goonhammer Historicals Unit Focus: Berg Lancers

Aaron "Lenoon" Bowen -
If there’s one thing the Napoleonic period has going for it for the historical wargamer, it’s the fanciest uniforms ever put to battle. The French were resplendent in blue, the British in incredibly fiddly red with padded shoulders and...

Goonhammer Historicals Miniatures Review: Victrix British Dragoons

Aaron "Lenoon" Bowen -

Miniature Review: Victrix French Dragoons
