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!
Gorgeous Dean, most beautiful color scheme...

Thank you, Stuart! Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat 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!

Thanks Iain. Really cool set. The plastic rank and file are great. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely looking unit Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Bartek. Best regards, Dean
DeleteMy word Dean! The speed with which you continue to churn out beautifully painted units is amazing! I could never match that!
ReplyDeleteThank 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
DeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Jonathan. Yes, the sky blue facings really go well with the red coats. I have several heat patches on my back and arm, smelling lik5my grandparents. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteWhat a great looking unit Dean!

DeleteThese really are stunning work Dean...it's unfortunate you think the painting may be causing all your pains, hopefully it comes right soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words and thoughts. Hopefully, it's only temporary and will go away soon. Best regards, Dean
DeleteSuperb 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Nick. Yes, I agree the Perry figures are hard to beat. I just like that these are in full gaiters. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteBrilliant Swiss Dean! All those ranges mix well, it's nice to have variety.
