F&IW French Infantry - AW, Foundry, and Redoubt Figures

Finished the AW figures to flesh out the line and grenadier units with previously painted Foundry figures. As they are intended for smaller skirmish games, there are only 12 figures per unit - line and grenadiers. Here's the completed AW figures themselves.

Photo below has the AW figures mixed in with their Foundry brethren - a good match. Note the Cambis guys and French Marines in gris blanc coats are all AW figures - and the Marines in blue undress are all Redoubt figures. The units from left to right (front and back groups): Cambis line and grenadiers; La Sarre line and grenadiers; La Reine grenadiers and line; Marines. Last row: Artillery and small unit of more Marines. Plan to add some flags - but the Flags of War ones I have, beautiful as they are, appear a bit too large. I may try and scan and resize them. Or maybe they're supposed to be that big - need to research this a bit.
I have a few AW coureurs de bois and Hurons to add to the force, however, plan to start on the Foundry British line and grenadiers to join their Foundry brethren also painted in the past. Thanks for checking out the blog and wishing you all the best.

    1. Thanks a lot, Matt! It's a period that I've never lost interest in - probably my only interest in N. American wars; I don't really have much interest in either AWI or ACW - although most of my gaming buddies here do (and not in F&IW). Weird. Best regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Christopher! These are all really "chunky" and robust figures - perfect for skirmish gaming with handling of individual figures. Kindest regards, Dean

  7. Thank you very much, Neil. Some Foundry British are up next. They have a lot more uniform details, so will be a bit more challenging. Kindest regards, Dean
