I haven’t just been working on winter Ardennes stuff . In the background I am also continuing a long term commission to completed 20 battalions of various French Guard units. After this lot I have 7 more battalions left to do . Friend Gerry who’s collection these are for likes his big battalions!
So here we have the latest 4 - the 3rd and 4th Chasseurs with two battalions each
400 foot, 4 mounted … = 408 points.
Well this moves my scoreboard along nicely. Of course this is a marathon not a sprint - but this takes me 2/3rd the way towards target. Now these are out of the way time to visit the Hindu Kush, or Zulu land I think, Robert threw down a gauntlet at the start of the challenge and the duels wallah minion is pointing out nothing has been done! All in good time, all in good time…
TeemuL: You have been busy and although I like you winter board, it is nice to see some variation. Variation is the middle name of Thursday Crew, isn't it? I'm sure your friend Gerry likes these, at least I do. And you can always ask hints from MartinC about 10mm methods if you get stuck. These are as colourful and varied as his, but I guess that is historical accuracy speaking here. You seem to have a summer table setup somewhere, too? And finally, that would be 412 points, since cavalry in 10mm is 3 points.
Outstanding Dave, really nice work I must say
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your Zulu pieces too
Cheers!
DeleteGreat stuff. You can paint 10mm Napoleonics with more detail than I can manage on 15mm for sure. Really detailed work and they look fantastic
ReplyDeleteJust what Jerry needs, more effing french guard
ReplyDeleteOnly another 7 and a Guard band to deliver 😆
DeleteThey look great! I'm sure your friend will be quite pleased with them!

DeleteAwesome big battalions. Well done.
ReplyDeleteLove the Nappys, did you say 20 battalions of Guard? It is about time that someone did something on that Duel.
ReplyDeleteWell there are probably another 4 due by end of challenge - but I didn’t sign up to Nappy one !
DeleteThey look great at this scale, well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteAwesome work Dave, they look the biz!
ReplyDeleteCheers after 9 battalions already I am getting the hang of em! - was tempted do a winter basing 🤣
DeleteGreat work Dave, I'm already planning a future expansion to include some Guard in my own 6mm French, although it will fall outside the window of the current challenge as I plan to pick up at Partizan
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteAn impressive array - feels like this force will pack a punch!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly will - thanks
DeleteThat’s a lot of Chasseurs! Very imposing, well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteAwesome Dave beats those massed ranks of brilliantly painted Napoleonics!
ReplyDeleteMore to come yet !
