The Brigadier and His Chasseurs

Only a little progress this half of the week.
I finished eight Fusilier-Chasseurs, as well as the commanding general.
As this unit is based on the one at the Coa in 1808, the general just may be Francois Ferey!



I also painted the centers of the pom-poms of my line battalion #2 white, as well as caught up on the basing. Group shot below...

Have a good weekend.

    1. Thanks, Phil! I always enjoy the group shots, no matter what era. I guess it makes me feel like I accomplished something!

  2. Really nice. They certainly look the part. 1808 River Coa got me interested in Napoleonic's. Good luck with the theme.

    1. Thanks SRD. I actually got to game that battle in 20mm plastics a couple years ago. Did you happen to be introduced to it through the Donald Featherstone book? He has a great chapter all about that. Thanks for looking!

    1. Thanks, Cameronian! Most of the credit goes to AB miniatures though. They’re some of the best I have ever worked on. Thanks much for the compliment!
