15mm Napoleonic painting guides
Fighting 15s republishes Napoleonic painting guides
Once upon a time, Fighting 15s was just a figure painting service specialising in 15mm Napoleonics. It’s where the name comes from - an allusion to British regimental nicknames such as the “Fighting 15th”, the King’s Hussars, as well as to magnificent pieces of technology such as the F-15 Eagle.
Way back then, Fighting 15s had two painting articles published by the now defunct Wargames Journal in its Painter’s Shed series.
Fighting 15s has long since stopped being a painting service, and those articles have long since disappeared in a complete form from the web. But now, thanks to a request for a copy of the articles, they have been republished and can be found in their new home on Fighting 15s’ Oozlum Games website.

Well I did not know that.

It just grew. I started painting figures to supplement my editing income as the magazine trade was going through a bit of a slump. Then, by chance I stumbled across Eureka Miniatures on one of the wargaming forums as they’d released their 18mm 1815 Napoleonic British, emailed Nic Robson about stocking the figures, and after a year sold so much Eureka stuff that I became the EU agent.
The painting service stopped because my eyes went poot, I think because of age. To this day I cannot paint for extended periods, nor work at a computer screen for long. There was a sticky period work-wise in 2007, but that’s long behind me.
Fighting 15s is good for me because it usually only involves a few hours a day on the computer at most. And I rarely have time to paint to hurt my eyes much anyway. 🙂
