Here is the next installment in my efforts to take pictures of my Napoleonic collection. This time it is my French army that is supported by a brigade of Bavarians (figured I would toss them in here rather than take separate pictures of them).
In all not too shabby for doing all sorts of fun games :-) I've covered the range of line cavalry well and have mostly line/light infantry units with a brigade of young and old guard units.
Well, enough talking ... the pictures can do that ...

| My Bavarian brigade. I love these guys as they add some nice colour to the army. |
 |
| Guard brigade. When I started this collection I had a "shed load" of Foundry miniatures - but I quickly moved to Front Rank Figurines for the majority of my collection. The Old Guard units are Foundry while the rest is Front Rank. |

| The last thing I painted for my Napoleonic's was the La Salle set from Front Rank --- excellent miniatures. |

| Another angle ... I was happy with how these guys turned out. |

I didn't take individual photos of each unit (clearly) --- that would be a lot. Hopefully this gives you a good idea of how the army looks and what it consists of ... I'll have it out at the upcoming local convention here two weekends from now.
Now to get these guys packed up and pull out my Austrians :-)
Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteThat's an Army
Thanks!
DeleteWow, that really is a fantastic display. You've done fine justice to a huge array of nice sculpts. I wish I had this kind of focus.
ReplyDeleteFMB
Thank you for the kind comment! :-)
DeleteJay, those are beautiful figures. How long did it take you to paint that fine collection? They look great on parade on that fine table of yours.
ReplyDeleteMy French army was "in process" for 1.5-2 years (solid) ... I was working on Austrians first and the two timelines melted into each other ... I've done some odds and ends since then as well.
DeleteSpectacular!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOK, so give us breakdown of how many units opf Infantyry, Cavalry, and Artillery, and how many figures total. :-)
Absolutely ... here you go: 672 Infantry, 144 cavalry, 23 guns (92 crew) and 25 mounted generals.
DeleteWhat an amount of well painted minis Jay, it look realy stunning !!!

DeleteVery impressive army!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
Delete!Fantastico ! Yo tengo de Front Rank, o sea de la misma clase ,pero para las campañas Peninsulares de España, Un ejercito Anglo-Portugues, Un Frances y Un Español entre los tres llegare como mucho a las mil figuras.
ReplyDeleteComprendo perfectamente ,el esfuerzo y la dedicación de usted , pero no me negara que cuando los ves evolucionar en la mesa de juego , tienes una satisfacción. !Saludos ! desde Catalunya
Gracias por las amables comentarios - mi amigo tiene un gran ejército Anglo-Portugues para los Campana peninsulares - Voy a tomar algunas fotos de ese gran ejército, así en un futuro post. Gracias por leer! Juego feliz!
DeleteAmazing! Inspirational and something to aspire to! Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteThank you Chasseur --- love the screen name! :-)
DeleteAs chasseur says inspirational. Bought some figures to start that Italian army I have always wanted to do in a larger scale but always had an excuse not to. Just plain brilliant.
ReplyDeleteExcellent --- I'd love to add a contingent of Italians ... about the same size as my Bavarian brigade ... would fill things out nicely. Good luck with you efforts on your Italians :-)
DeleteAnother fine parade Jay. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks James --- I hope you are making steady progress on your painting projects :-)
DeleteDid you see March Attack poses in your sleep mate? Bloody awesome on the table.
ReplyDeletelol ... yes, the march attack pose has made it's way into my dreams on a disturbing level :-)
DeleteFantastic! Always great to see the whole army at once.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jason! :-)
DeleteThat is... a massive collection. And it looks very good to.
ReplyDeleteThank you sir! :-)
