French Napoleonic - Grenadiers

 First post for 2026 and last post for the French Army Painting Project

The last two units for the French Napoleonic Army.  the 92nd* and 72nd Grenadiers*

The 92nd marching in column head on.

The 92nd marching in column at an angle

The 72nd in line. Unfortunately for them I have run out of drummers.

* these flags are from line units left over so I have used them.

Finally the army is completed.  An army review to follow.

10mm Figures and flags from Pendraken.

300 of        300 Infantry              10 units of 30        Completed 100%  YAY.

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

I have now flocked all the bases and they look better and just have to do the photo shoot (I wonder if that is why we call it modelling?)

In January/February I hope to tie up a few loose ends from 2025, the Napoleonic army review, and update my census of painted and unpainted figures as well as my current list of stalled projects.

  3. That's a very impressive result Ben - very few projects come in on time and budget!
