For my first submission I am working on my 28mm Blucher project. I know a lot of people play Blucher on a smaller scale but I have always been a 28mm scale gamer since my earliest D&D days.
Anyways I am expanding my French forces with some Light Infantry battalions.
Figures are a mix of Wargames Foundry, Warlord and Perry. 16 figs in total for a respectable start of 80 points.

Another first entry - welcome Matt. Is it a record? Shall we evermore refer to today as 'Firsties Friday'? Blucher in 28mm seems to be interesting choice, though I hear good things about the ruleset, and many of the Challengers share your appreciation of the 28mm scale. I'd be interested to see how it looks when you get everything on the table.
These are great light infantrymen, the poses falling under fire makes your base compositions look really dynamic. Very neat painting too, and I appreciate them being that little bit grubby rather than being pristine parade ground troops, and your classic French blue looks really punchy.
81 points or you, following the Challenge tradition of a little bonus for the very fine flag.

These are fab, welcome to the challenge
ReplyDeleteVery nice first entry Matt. I do like the officer with his arm in a sling :)
ReplyDeleteMatt, your Frenchies are exquisite. The grouping, painting and basing are tres magnifique. Je les adore! Bien fait!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting on the scoreboard with such a coup de main!
Well done Matt, welcome to the Challenge. Excellent entry, and 28mm is indeed a fabulous scale for this period. Great work.

Very nice and I am not into Napoleonic's at all.
ReplyDeleteA very well painted Napoleonic unit you have there, a lust for they eye!
ReplyDeleteGreat first entry! I certainly find the challenge increases my painting, I hope you do too!
ReplyDeleteA fine first entry welcome along
ReplyDeleteVery well done!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. I've played Blucher with Cards and Curt's really weenie little men, but I like the idea of using 28s. Especially when they look like these ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, I know 28mm Blucher will be a bit unusual but i'm lucky enough to have my brother as a regular opponent so getting a game is never a problem.
