Swiss 4th Infantry Regiment - Warlord Games French Infantry

These are the figures that came with the Vistula Legion set. They are the same sprues as their normal French set, including the shako/bearskin heads. Really nice figures with minimal parts - body, head and backpack.
The Vistula set doesn't come with a flag or standard bearer, so I used a spare Victrix one with the number 4 repainted on the flag.
Plan to add some Brigade Games Voltiguers as they have full gaiters which will match the rest of the unit.
I really like this set from Warlord Games. Very nice details and in full-dress, which I like the look of for Napoleonics. Although, the ones from Victrix and now Perry in campaign dress (trousers) look cool too.
A comparison shot; left to right: Perry, Warlord Games, Victrix. Close enough for the battlefield.
Now that these are done, I can give my back, neck and left arm some rest. In fact, I think painting is what's causing a lot of my neck and back/arm pain. In any case, wishing you all the very best and hope you all are healthy and safe!

  3. Great finish and painting! Yes I think these warlord figures are particularly nice in full dress and go together easily which is a factor with plastic!

    1. Thank you very much, Mike. I might've over exerted doing these as I'm feeling it in my back and arm today. Yet, I was musing that I now needed additional British units to equal the French. Warmest regards, Dean

  6. The 4th Swiss is a most handsome regiment. The red coat with sky blue facings is striking. Great job! Take care of your back and neck.

  13. Superb painting Dean! I have to admit I prefer the Perry ones in this case as the figures look more animated, yet your painting obviously is superb on all of these.
