ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

40mm Napoleonics… Some more French Infantry.

Greetings…

Here are three ‘command’ types for the French 18th Line Infantry.

First up… A Sergeant..



This figure is a conversion…
I used the body of the Voltigeur running at the trail and added the arms from the Spanish Sergeant.
The rank and service stripes were added using Green Stuff putty.

Next up… A Voltigeur Hornist.



And finally…A Sapper…



As before these were a real joy to paint…
Of course the Sapper would normally be part of the Grenadier Company which means that I will really really need to paint some Grenadiers in the future… poor me 😁.

The Tunics are… Citadel… Kantor Blue with a touch of Caledor Sky.
The Sappers Tunic… Citadel… Hoeth Blue.
The Sapper and Hornist Facings are… Citadel… Wazdaka Red.
The Trousers are… Citadel… Pallid Wych Flesh, Administratum Grey and Khorne Red
The Greatcoats are Citadel… Administratum Grey.
The Muskets and Backpacks are… Citadel… Mournfang Brown.
The Shako Covers are… Foundry… Drab Light 12C.
The Water Bottles are… Foundry… Boneyard Shade 9A.
The Water Bottle Straps are… Citadel… Skrag Brown.
Yellow bits are… Foundry… Ochre 4B.
Green bits are… Citadel… Warboss Green.
Red bits are… Citadel… Evil Sunz Scarlet.

As always everything was given a wash of Aly’s Brown Liquid and highlighted with the original shade plus some extra highlights and work on the lighter colours and faces.



All the best.   Aly
