Last of the French Napoleonic Line Infantry

 The final two regiments of the French Line Infantry are now completed.

First up the 19th Regiment

19th Regiment in Line

Now the 55th regiment

55th regiment in line.
Only one photo for them. Widely known to be an ugly bunch of blokes so very few pictures taken 😂


Painted with a mix of contrast and normal acrylic paints.

Bases still need to be flocked.

10mm Figures and flags from Pendraken.

Painting Progress
210 of        300 Infantry              10 units of 30        Completed 70%  nearly there.
55 of        55 Skirmishers              5 units of 11        Completed 100%  YAY!
60 of      60 Cavalry                    4 units of 15        Completed 100%   YAY
9/36 of   9 Guns with 36 crew.                                Completed 100%    YAY
5 of        5 Command stands.                                    Completed 100% YAY

The end is in sight!

  2. I agree with James, you have really worked your way through these figures in a pretty short period of time, Ben. Look forward to seeing the entire force, fully flocked, on parade!

    1. Keith, putting the pressure on me!! Hopefully it won't take long to flock them.

  3. Good progress continues! You call these regiments but basing and Pom Pom colors suggest this is a battalion. Are you amalgamating several battalions into one regimental body?

    1. Oh dear Jonathan. You have caught me out again with my ignorance on display. 😂 I shall call them Battalions from now on.

      The information from Pendraken on the flag sheet say they are regimental flags so I will not be amalgamating them for one regiment.
      I did have the idea of amalgamating all the bases with the same pom poms for a photo shoot of a Battalion in march as the number of figures would be more like reality.

      Did the Battalions each carry a regimental flag? Or just the first battalion of each regiment? Thanks... hopefully I can refer to them as the 1st Battalion of the xxth Regiment.

  4. The regiments are looking good, and so close to finishing as well.
