French line infantry regiment 27 Napoleonic 34

 Here is the first of three French line regiments, Perry plastic with a Victrix flag in the 1807-1814 uniform , you can stop reading now Stew if you want!








Nice figures to paint,I like that you get a larger command element,although they've taken a while as I got them up to good enough and used them as that for a while.



And for Norm, 80mm base for my Napoleon command base.

Next up? Probably the other Napoleonic French infantry regiments but there's some war of three Kingdoms artillery coming up on the outside and they're liable to have a game before the Napoleonics so let's see, not much of a cliffhanger but you work with what you've got!

All the best

    1. I'm being lightly facetious, according to Norm,following Stews command in his Napoleonic campaign Stew is painting his wife an Austrian army for Christmas, lucky her! Glad you like them!

    2. Of course I can! Especially from our friend Iain here. They’re a nice group.
      😀

      I think my wife would know what to do with an Austrian army as much as I would (as in having no idea). 😀

  2. Thanks for the commanders base size. These forces are really moving on, I like the dynamic poses of the Voltigeur base.

  7. Oh, they're good. It always surprises me why the French light infantry have flashier, and taller plumes on their shakos than the line troops. Counter-intuitive. I guess it was a status thing.

  9. Looking good as always Iain, your productivity is amazing. I am still trying to get my Bavarians finished after several months. Life seems to just get in the way of painting!

  10. Always like this French uniform - I haven't painted Napoleonic French for years - mainly because I already have more than enough of them painted already!

  16. Lovely French infantry, Iain! I still have my Victrix infantry - second set of Napoleonics in 28mm I had ever painted - the Victrix Peninsular British was the first. Love them to this day.
