Here we go again! After last week's Rhinebund unit, it's back to normal,you know the drill, Napoleonic French line infantry, entirely Perry plastic, advancing not march attack so that at least is different.
Pleasant diversion, there's a unit at home that just needs the white to finish them off, then there's two more Victrix units, another Guard unit then that will be all the French infantry done, the end is in sight! There's a fair bit of Austro-Hungarian infantry to do, some needs to be assembled and apart from the cavalry unit I'm working on now there is I think four more French cavalry units, a hussar unit associated with Lasalle, a unit of chasseurs a cheval , a unit of lancers I got from secret santa a couple of years ago( I know, wrong for 1809 but nice to be given Napoleonic figures! ) and Polish lancers of the Guard, once more they didn't get lances until after the 1809 campaign but I'm not going to build a unit of Polish Guard cavalry without lances am I? Other than that I've got a wagon park to paint up and then it's parade time, I'm hoping for the summer but probably it'll be Christmas!
In the meantime Perry have announced since my last post that they are releasing early peninsular war Spanish infantry in plastic, perfect for the siege of Girona, so I have literally no choice in the matter, I'll have to get some Spanish!
All the best

Another good looking addition to your French force, Iain and the scenery looks good too, particularly the beach!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful minis and wonderful Jamaican pics!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic looking unit Iain, and sounds like you are nearing the end of your French, just in time for the new Spanish ! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou really have been pouring out these French and all of the highest quality. It must be a relief to see the end finally in sight. I think those Perry Spanish will go well, especially given all the troop types that can be made up for each box.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on French !
ReplyDeleteNot often I get jealous these days…but yeah…I’m jealous.
ReplyDeleteI must commend you on your decision to accurately represent the entire Napoleonic French army at a 1:1 ratio. lol.
More splendid french infantry Iain, will the whole army actually fit on one table ? I’m going to be getting some of those Spanish as well bulk out my brigade or perhaps a division we’ll see. Jamaica looks lovely and warm could do with that here !
