Here are a unit each of Fusilier-Grenadiers, Fusilier-Chasseurs and Voltigeurs of the Imperial Guard as they may have appeared while participating in the Peninsular War.
After the Minwax staining, a bit of highlighting was added - particularly on the edges of the clothing.
I was pleased to find a few flags from a previous box of Victrix French from years ago. This particular set didn't come with flags. Granted the numerals on the flags don't correspond to the units, but at arm's length you really can't make them out.
With four bases, the units can be formed into Attack Column or Square, as well as Line and March Column.
16 figures per unit looks good enough for me, and it allows for more units to deploy on a smaller table; not to mention that much less figures to paint. :)

As mentioned in the previous post, this set comes with 60 figures, so there are 12 remaining figures which I haven't decided how to paint up. In the meanwhile, I will start on the box of Perry British Line Infantry. Thanks for stopping by and best wishes to all!

Cheers, Ross

ReplyDeleteThanks, Simon. And just last night I was putting them in different formation s. ;) Kind regards, Dean
DeleteNice work, and quickly done.......😀
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Matt! This set is quite "user friendly" with the minimal parts and simplified clothing. Best regards, Dean
DeleteVery nice. I like the idea of the 4 base unit for formation variables and working with a smaller gaming space.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norm. Although, big formations look good, I intend to have enough units and maneuver space (8'x 5') for 6 players. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, David! I now need to work on the box of Perry British. Kind regards, Dean
