French Battalion #6

I've got 4 bases now done, and I'm pleased with the result. I'm still not sure about the shape and size of the command stand though. I think I will wait till all the command figures are painted and then work out the base.

The 4 finished companies.

An idea of how an attack column will look.

I changed the name of my Blog as I've finally come to terms with the fact I that I like games in the Grand Manner. Lots of big battalions with plenty of action going on. It does mean I have a lot of figures to paint, but as I enjoy that part of the hobby well OK.
The first target is to have 9 battalions a side. Both French and Allied. 1 Battery of guns, and a Regiment of Cavalry. Will be a couple of years work, but I will have a good looking game when done. Once this core is finished then I can go where my fancy takes me.
Cheers.

French Battalion #5

The first 2 companies have been based. I decided to base my finished companies to inspire me to finish the rest. Unfortunately I have run out of bases. Still I have finished painting the next company the 3rd, and will base it up when I get some more supplies.

Cheers.

French Battalion #4

OK I have finished another company. This is the 2nd company with sky blue pom pom's. Again fun to paint.

Cheers.

French Battalion #3

The Grenadier company is painted. I really enjoyed painting theses as always with Elite miniatures. Lots of detail and character.

Cheers.

French Battalion #2

Update #2. I finished the blue for the coat, the grey base for he white parts and some of the red detail. Elite do make some really nice figures. Lots of detail and character.

Until next time.

Cheers.
