Black Powder Epic Battles: French Painting Help

Hi peeps, dose anyone have some info on what sort of colours are being used in this image to paint this French Infantry Brigade?

Or perhaps have links to some painting guides or larger images?

As a starting point, have a look at the French Napoleonic painting guide at Baccus – https://www.baccus6mm.com/PaintingGuides/NAP/

Although not specific to the Warlord Epic range, it is a good generic guide to what the uniforms should look like.

There’s a fairly basic guide on the Warlord website too – https://warlord-community.warlordgames.com/epic-battles-waterloo-french-painting-guide/

Oh yeah!

Those links are sweet, thank you very much 🙂

One last post from me. Fairly terrible pictures, but here’s a step by step from Wargames Soldiers & Strategy magazine (no. 120); I hope the text is legible as it has the various paints noted for both normal acrylics and contrast paints.

You could also just pick up a Naps paintset from Warlord (Vallego paints in a Warlord branded box, eight for a tenner). They do a French AND a British one (in fact at that price you might want to pick up multiples, I know I have 😀 ).
