40mm Napoleonics… More French Infantry.

Greetings…

Here are four more French 18th Infantry Voltigeurs…

As before these are from  the Perry Miniatures 40mm Peninsular War Range.










The Tunics are… Citadel… Kantor Blue with a touch of Caledor Sky.
The Trousers are… Citadel… Pallid Wych Flesh, Administratum Grey and Foundry… Drab Light 12C.
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.



Once again these were a real joy to paint and I am looking forward to painting more…

All the best.  Aly
