From Kent G - 28mm Napoleonic french infantry (540 Points)



So since the beginning of the competition I've been working away on my French
while I've been doing the other submissions. This entry is the first big block of infantry
comprising of 18 stands of 6 figures each, so a total of 108 figures, they are made up of both metal and plastics Perry and Warlord Games.


These figures, plus the ones I have already submitted, mean that I've now completed five and a half of the 22 units of infantry so still quite a few to go but all of which I've done the skin all coats are complete but still a lot to paint and keep me busy. The big thing is as I grind through them to keep the quality at my normal standard.


Curt mentioned that I didn't have any light troops in my last French submission so this time I've added in some light infantry, Voltigeurs & Grenadiers 


 In this grouping there are two stands of the 10th light regiment in the middle, I'll need to do 2 more as the regiments will have 4 stands in them.






And here we are first big block of infantry
After this I'm taking a wee break from  the foot and started French cavalry instead.

 Must admit I'm really pleased to see these chaps rolling off the assembly line, 
looking at this i might need to increase my storage space again.



And Kent strikes again! What a whopper of an entry. That huge solid block of infantry does look exactly as one would imagine the assault columns of the 1813 or 1815 campaigns to look. The addition of light troops is a very good one, as one would expect if it is inspired by the Snowlord himself. They all look marvellous Kent, now I can't wait for the cavalry to come charging in!

  2. Great work! The number of miniatures is impressive. I, too, are gradually working on the painting of the French infantry on Napoleonic.

  6. I'm impressed by how many excellent French pour off your brush with such speed. I wish I knew how you did it, as I've a backlog of approaching 1000! Inspiring work.

  10. Wow! Truly amazing work! I manage 30ish Napoleonics a year and that's about all I can take with all the fiddly bits of the uniforms. Pouring out this many, all with really top quality detail work is amazing. The little sanity I have left would be long gone before I could do that many in less than a months time!
