Well a week has gone by so fast a happy new year to everyone.
I have been really enjoying the many varied and wonderful posts over
The past few day and I’m sure there will be many more to come.
I took advantage of the few days off I had to enjoy some rather long
painting sessions This time we have French French and more French
Mostly Napoleonic but also French knights all 28mm and all
Mostly Napoleonic but also French knights all 28mm and all
Perry Miniatures A mix of metals and plastics
First off the rack one of my favorite's, dragoons, I have
Another 3-4 boxes of these so we might see some more.
these chaps are the 22nd Regiment
Next up French hussars I wasn’t sure I’d get these completed but another
11 hour painting painting session saw them across the line
Next up there ADCs,
this is the first time in all the French armies I’ve painted that I
have done these and I must admit I really like these minis
There are three infantry Command figures,
one of the photos is at the bottom of the page. I have already done
way to many of these, so who knows what I’ll do with these chaps
Then we have imperial guard, these are Perry metals first time
painting these chaps in Perry metals always used victrix
but I really like them and man the bases have some weight to them
Now for the artillery this is the final add on to my French
guns which I already have 14 Done before the comp started,
I love artillery, way too much fun, not sure I need
22 guns but what the heck
First up a 6pdr for my guards division
This is the horse artillery, I love these figures,
really are beautifully sculpted
Then we have 2 x 6pdrs and 1 x 12 pdr for my guards division
Just need to paint the division now.
Next up 2 x 6pdrs to add to my artillery park
Now for the 2 big boys in the toy box
2 x 12pdrs with the larger crew
Oh to much fun
Another command figure that decided to pop in a different place,
Don’t know about you but painting command figures always seems like
The best part of painting a new army
Then we have 12 French knights
These chaps will head out the door to their new home tomorrow
These are Lovely Perry plastics, it’s so much fun painting the heraldry
Always a challenge but so satisfying when you pull it off
So for points we have
- 42 x 28mm cavalry for 420 pts
- 60 x 28mm infantry for 300pts
- 8 x 28mm artillery pieces for 80 pts (not sure had a check looks like 10pms each)
- Library history 20pts for the French knights
Total 820pts
From Millsy: If there's an ideal way to start work as a minion in 2024 then curating THIS monster post is it. What a points bomb Kent, and such quality to go with the quantity! Having chatted a couple of times over the last week whilst we painted I had some idea what was waiting in the wings but that did nothing to diminish the wow factor when I opened this up to review.
I won't even try to pick a favourite unit from amongst such an array of quality work but will make special mention of the dragoons, ADC with leopard saddle cloth and Imperial Guard all of which really faire flotter mon bateau.
Congrats mate on a stonking 820 point bomb which blasts you past 1000 points and your initial target to boot!
