Paint it or Punt it
Napoleonic French - Line/Light Infantry
I know very little about Napoleonics and as I have said before this box was bought to act as a palate cleanser. I’m thoroughly enjoying painting them and over the last couple of days finished another 12 to give me three bases. There’s still the same again to be painted but I’ll be putting them aside for a few weeks as I work on more Minas Tirith warriors and the next part of my Khorne army.
1. Skin
2. Trousers and great coats on those that have them. The colour will be the highlight colour for the coats but just the undercoat for the trousers
3. Shoes, scabbards and shakos. Shakos with oil skins on them were painted with Steel Legion Drab
4. The reason I picked the French, the blue jackets
5. Weapon details - Mournfang Brown and Army Painter Gun Metal
6. Collars and Cuffs 
7. Nuln oil wash all over and then go back to highlight with base colours. 
8. I accidentally used the brush on primer when I went to highlight the whites and it actually worked out better than when I was using the P3 Morrow White. Happy little accidents
Backpacks were added (painted seperately for ease). Basing is bird sand, some green blend foam scatter from Geek Gaming/Luke's APS and a couple of small bits of a lighter green clump foliage.
3 bases of infantry done. They might not be the most historically accurate but I have had a good deal of fun working on them. Definitely have been a pleasant distraction from the black and silver of Minas Tirith!
Vive L’Empereur
Love your Napoleonic Unit here. When they are all lined up and marching off to war… they look fantastic and I’d be proud to have them on my table top. Great work.
