Perry FPW French Chasseurs a Pied

Nice sculpts that match up nicely in both size (large side of 28mm) and style with Eagles of Empire FPW figures. I had added these to an order of ECW stuff and was pleasantly surprised to see the match up as I was expecting them to be a bit smaller. I'm wondering if their plastic FPW figures will also be larger than their usual sized figures too. Anyway, as I only intend to do FPW as skirmish, not planning on getting too many of their figures.

Their uniforms being fairly simple, they painted up quickly with my usual block painting followed by a Minwax stain and highlights afterwards. The piping on their kepis being the hardest part of the whole process; and even this wasn't too bad as I painted them for effect, rather than accuracy.

Havings some spare 25mm round bases, went ahead and based some as singles and some paired on 50mm rounds. This is similar to how some folks base their figures for Lion Rampant and Rebels and Patriots, etc., and looks good, IMO.

Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue was used for the coats and kepis; a mixture of gray with a little bit of blue was used for the trousers.

A comparison shot below shows how the Perry Chasseurs size up well with the Eagles of Empire figures on the left. They are slightly larger and taller than their own ACW plastic Zouaves (painted as Turcos), but not really noticeable on the gaming table.

On the gaming front, I plan to host a La Haye Sainte Black Powder game next month at the Veterans Museum down in Chehalis. I'm also signed up to host two La Haye Sainte games and a Marston Moor Pike and Shotte game in May at our annual big convention, Enfilade. I wanted to host these games in part due to our Canadian gamer-brethren finally being able to make it down from the border. This will be the first time since 2019 that we'll be able to spend time gaming and carousing together again. Thanks for dropping by and wishing you all the best.
