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…
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.
The figures are Perry Miniatures…
The paints are Wargames Foundry and Citadel...
The bases are as always…
All the best. Aly
Three very super paint jobs and conversion. When I see things like this I feel like trashing my brushes!
ReplyDeleteThank you David…
DeletePlease don’t trash your brushes… think of all those unpainted miniatures.
All the best. Aly
Super work, Aly! Like David, I am in awe of your beushwork. Nice pantaloon rouge switch on the volitgeur.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan…
DeleteI felt it made the Hornist more recognisable…and I like the colour.
All the best. Aly

Obviously excellent paintwork... as for trashing brushes, I trash quite a few but it's in a good cause... personally, I'm quite happy to be in the second (third?) rank as far as painting goes - they still do the job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rob…
DeleteWe all painted differently… and it’s not a competition… as long as you are happy…so am I.
All the best. Aly
Aly, like these a lot. There’s quite a lot of conversion possibilities with the figures and you’ve done a cracking job and is one I shall pinch I’m pretty certain I can convert some into Portuguese infantry unless you can convince the guys to make a set 😁
ReplyDeleteThank you Graham…
DeletePinch away…
There are a lot of 40mm figures I would like to see added to this range… I will try and wear Alan down 😂
All the best. Aly
Beautiful work as a,ways Aly a joy for you to paint and a joy for us to look at 👍
