Greetings…
Here are three more figures for this project…
They are French 18th Line Infantry Voltigeurs…
As before the are from the lovely 40mm Napoleonic range by Perry Miniatures…
And as before they were a joy to paint…
The Tunics are… Citadel… Kantor Blue with a touch of Caledor Sky.
The Trousers are… Citadel… Khorne Red and Palid Wych Flesh.
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.
The figures are Perry Miniatures…
The paints are Wargames Foundry and Citadel...
The bases are as always…
Next up… More 40mm.
All the best. Aly.
Wow! These sculpts and poses look terrific. You bring these sculpts to life with your talented brushwork.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan.
DeleteThey are indeed splendid miniatures…and a joy to paint.
All the best. Aly
C'est très bien monsieur!
ReplyDeleteMurky buckets mon a me 😁
DeleteLoving these chaps Aly especially the guy with No.18 on his titfer. What unit is he from? (You know I haven’t got a clue about anything Napoleonic!)
ReplyDeleteThank you JBM…
DeleteIt turns out that I am not as clued up as I could be…
I picked the 18th Infantry because they had nice plumes and the Sapper gets to wear a sky blue tunic…
Did they serve in the Peninsular… of course not… everywhere else… most likely with glory… but they did manage to dodge the Spanish Ulcer.
I will resolve this historical inaccuracy in due course…
By making some nonsense up 😁
All the best. Aly
Lovely figures and great painting too. My wallet is relieved I'm not really in the market for these, beautiful though they are... ;-)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
David.
Thank you David…
DeleteThe good thing is that you don’t need a lot of them to have a fun game.
All the best. Aly
Splendid looking mesieurs! Let's hope they are up to le guerre! Bon Chance, Malchanceux!
ReplyDeleteThank you David…
DeleteIndeed they are heroic looking warriors… but sadly lead by a donkey 😳🤪😁.
All the best. Aly
Beautiful figures and a great paint job - I'm so tempted by the Perry 40mm stuff .

Thank you Iain…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
They are fabulous figures, (in my own particular opinion and by mylikes and dislikes, the best they've ever done and amonhst the best ever). Thet do paint up rather nicely but my weren't 'quite' up to par with these chaps! Well done the painter as well as the sculptor!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ross..
DeleteThey are indeed fabulous figures…
All the best. Aly
Outstanding job! I am very tempted to change to 40mm
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark…
DeleteIt’s a perfect scale for small actions or skirmishes.
All the best. Aly
Well, nothing short of splendid: the striping on the trousers in particular-- Salute!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ed…
DeleteI am pleased with the stripes but I am not sure how many I am capable of doing before going mad or blind.
All the best. Aly
Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Warburton…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Lovely work, Aly. I have often looked at that range with skirmishing in mind.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark…
DeleteI highly recommend them.
All the best. Aly
Fantastic result!
ReplyDeleteWe love these Perry miniatures, which have a dynamic pose without being overly dramatic. The 40mm scale allows you to see your painting skills at its best in the details, so many details ...
A couple of questions: does the second soldier have salvaged clothing or is it a different uniform? Does the third soldier have a canteen made from a pumpkin? We did not know that in Napoleon's time they still existed!
Thank you…
DeleteDuring the Peninsular War supplies were limited for the French (and the British) army so worn out clothes were made from local materials.
The water bottle was made from a dried Gourd.
All the best. Aly
So beautifully done Aly , I’m in awe of your stripped trousers
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt…
DeleteI am not sure how many pairs of stripped trousers I can manage without loosing my mind.. but I will do some more.
All the best. Aly
