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
Iain
I think Stew can appreciate a batch of freshly painted Napoleonics. I can!
ReplyDeleteI'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!
DeleteBest Iain
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). 😀
Thanks Stew, I'm sure you could come up with something to do with an Austrian army!

Lovely work sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Michal!

Thanks for the commanders base size. These forces are really moving on, I like the dynamic poses of the Voltigeur base.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, I thought I'd keep the vaulters more active looking!
DeleteBest Iain
Great work on the nit Iain, they look very impressive all ranked up
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Dave!
DeleteBest Iain
Lovely to see Iain and a boost if I needed it 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt , I'm just playing catch up with you! At least I'm ahead on the cavalry front!
DeleteBest Iain
Looking mighty fine Iain!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Ray!

Very smart indeed Iain. Reminds me I must get back to my French.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, after your naval and ECW? Variety is the spice of life!
DeleteBest Iain
Excellent line infantry!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Cyrus!
DeleteBest Iain
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.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, yes when you're short you want something to make you taller I guess?!
DeleteBest Iain
Very pretty indeed Iain…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly.
Thanks a lot Aly!
DeleteBest Iain
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!
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes life is constantly getting in the way of painting!
DeleteBest Iain
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!
ReplyDeleteWell ,I think I've still got twelve more units primed, two of which are almost finished, it's a good thing I like painting them as I'm not even halfway there!
DeleteBest Iain
Very good looking unit, keep the queue in motion with whatever you want to paint next. Iain, they do look good in groups.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, yes whatever floats your boat!
DeleteBest Iain
A fine looking unit Iain.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Richard!
DeleteBest Iain
It never ceases to amaze me how you manage to build these units and how magnificent they look
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Suber!
DeleteBest Iain
Very nice work Iain.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Mark!
DeleteBest Iain

ReplyDeleteThanks GW and you're right, difficult to go wrong with Perry's!

ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, always nice to give the flank companies a run out!
DeleteBest Iain
They’ll llok fine on any table Iain!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Mike !

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.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, glad you kept them, you might recognise something in the not too distant future!
DeleteBest Iain
Nice looking troops Iain. I do love your painting skills.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Vol, sorry there's no ships!
