Napoleonic French line infantry

Hi! I'm still in the mood to paint some Napoleonics, and I'm trying to be a bit more productive. So less time on the details, and three or more foot soldiers at a time.

I wanted to test that method on french infantry, and I've painted troopers with two different uniforms, first for the 1808-1812 period, then the Bardin uniform.

For the 1808-1812 period, I've painted a grenadier and two fusiliers, here they are:




I wish to represent soldiers in campaign. Not sure that it is a good idea to give them trousers of the same color, it is too uniformed, I will add some variety for the next figures. They are Hät minis, from set 8095 1808-1812 French Line Infantry.


For the 1812-1815 period, I've painted one grenadier, three fusiliers and one voltigeur, as you can see below:









There are different colors for the trousers this time, does it look ok ? They are also Hät minis from sets 8041 French Line Fusiliers, and 8042 French Light Infantry (used to represent grenadiers and voltigeurs).


What do you think of them ?

  6. Magnifique comme d'habitude, le tas de bois fait très campagne d'Allemagne en 1813.

    1. Bonne remarque! Le musicien du mois est sous-couché et c'est tout :( Mais bon, j'ai un gros truc demain au boulot (qui m'a pris beaucoup de temps de préparation), et après ça devrait aller mieux, enfin j'espère.
