Finished Unit – French Infantry 17th Line

I used to play a lot of Warhammer and for some reason I see the French in Napoleonic times as pretty much like the orcs (albeit not green and scaly) – you simply can’t have enough of them. This little lot are meant to represent the 1st Battalion of the 17th Line who were part of the 2nd Division of the 1st Corps at Waterloo.
All miniatures are a mixture of metal and plastic Perry, flag GMB.



These were completed using Army Painter – a combination of grey undercoat and the mid-tone shade. Not too sure it works with blue but reasonably pleased with the effect on great coats.

What I’m Working on Now…

More French and another unit started a while back Imperial Guard Grenadiers, should be a worrisome sight for any Allies I eventually manage to paint up. I have the figures but they’re sat in boxes!

What I’m Working on Now…

It’s been a month with a French feel to it. This week the 7th Dragoons, finally got round to basing them:

Complete with elite company in bearskins(just love those).

     

All miniatures are from the Perry’s French Dragoon plastic box set.

What I’m Working on Now

This week I’m mostly fiddling with Napoleonic French Dragoons. 7th Regiment for reference.

Well I’ve got to give me Brits something to shoot at!
