My recent 10mm painting session led to a recalculation of painting time for my planned Napoleonic collection. The newest data indicates that I will be able to make progress much faster. I completed the second batch of 10mm figures at the rate of 55 minutes per base or stand, much faster than the original test results of 93 minutes.

Using the same assumptions as the original analysis, I calculated paint time for DBN and Lasalle Forces. (See the "Battle of the Scales" post for more information.)
DBN and Lasalle Paint Times
The DBN armies are the French 1805-1812/1815 list and the Austrian 1801-1808 list with all options. The French Lasalle Force is an infantry division and supporting curaissier brigade. The Austrian force is an Avante Garde Division supported by an infantry brigade. The time saved approaches 50 percent. It was interesting to see how much faster I can start playing DBN compared to Lasalle.
Army Creep
If Napoleonic miniatures are as addictive as Ancients, I won't stop at two armies. I recalculated my "weeks to complete" analysis for multiple Lasalle forces, estimating five hours of hobby time a week.
The new estimates are motivating. I should have enough figures painted to play DBN in 11 weeks and Lasalle in 25.
Happy 4th of July!
