This post was delayed from last week as I had an incident with a cat who broke one of the battalions. Although some figures were broken I was eventually able to piece them together. Just in case I painted up another battalion but am saving this for another Division later in the Challenge.
So here we are again and another French Napoleonic Division, this time its the 6th Division belonging to the 2nd Corps 1812. As with the last Division this is a two brigade organisation with supporting artillery. Again all figures are from Commission Figurines and are MDF.
First up is the Division conmander Legrand, fine fellow.
.
Now here is the Division:
Points Being Claimed:
500 6mm Infantry figures at 0.5 pts each - 250pts
24 6mm Artillery figures at 0.5 pts each - 12pts
6 6mm Guns at 1pts each - 6pts
7 6mm mounted figures at 1pt each - 7pts
Total Pts - 275pts
More 6mm Napoleonic goodies, yes! As before, these look so good in their masses, Ian. I really love it that you went for 60 man battalions, very impressive. Also, I like the Portuguese, so seldom encountered outside of the Peninsular theatre. I am looking forward to the cavalry! 275 points added to your total.
They will look great displayed on a table, no doubt
ReplyDeleteThose crowded bases look great, and well done painting in such a small scale.
ReplyDeleteThey look great. I’m really taken with these MDF figures. Glad to hear that I not the only one to misplace planned units.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely detail here for 6mm. Great work.
ReplyDeleteCat attack aside, these are fabulous. I really like the addition of the Portuguese contingent. Also love the big, beefy sized units. Well done!
ReplyDeleteExcellent looking units,they look splendid, in spite of their feline attention!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
that's a great way to represent a battalion - the large number of figures per unit really does give it that special effect
ReplyDeleteSacrebleu! An incredible number of great looking minis!
ReplyDeleteVery well done. The units are excellent for depicting battalions.
ReplyDeleteLovely work! You're really selling MDF.
ReplyDeleteWalter at commission figures has done all the hard work would never had thought about mdf as a figure medium. Mdf just soaks up the paint so they dry very quickly. a battalion takes under an hour of brush work and I do battalions at a time.
Deletewhat a great set of figures, the blue really pops on the French, and there's a heap of them.
ReplyDeleteThat looks mighty impressive!
ReplyDeleteLovely Ian
