Work continues on the 1799 project as one of my 2018 goals is to field a FRW game later in the year. While enough figures are present to field combatants for a smaller game, such as seen in the Montebello 1800 games, larger battles require more troops. To do that, French infantry and Austrian infantry are moving into the painting queue.
Off the painting desk are two more, 13 figure battalions of early French infantry. The figures are from Campaign Game Miniatures with the exception of the AB Miniatures' mounted officers. Unlike the two battalions fielded recently, the grenadiers in these two battalions are wearing bicorne.
I really like the look of CGM French in bicorne. While not as crisply cast as AB, these are fine figures in their own right and fit in well with the more expensive AB. I wish CGM offered early Austrian in casquet. That would be cool!
Excellent looking unit Jonathan!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe battalions look rather splendid.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Peter!
DeleteGreat couple of units Jonathan. You just have to love those Revolutionary flags don't you?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do like the FRW flags and the bicornes.
DeleteLovely work, and you seem to be maintaining a very brisk pace at present.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lawrence! Trying to keep a three day cycle. I can maintain that pace for a little longer.
DeleteGorgeous looking frenchies!

Thanks!
DeleteDynamic and beautiful Fench unit!
ReplyDeleteCGM have a lot of animation. I like them!
DeleteExcellent looking groups. The sculpts have a lot of character and really tell the story of an organized rabble.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jake!
DeleteI like the sculpts although some are a bit more rough than AB.
I too love the early uniforms. You have done these proud!
ReplyDeleteI like the early uniforms too!
DeleteYou are very kind, Scott.
Nice work Jonathan ....those units just keep coming 😀
ReplyDeleteThank you, Matt!
DeleteThey look splendid, Jonathan! Love the early-period French - before Napoleon cut his hair! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dean! The early period has lots of interest to me too.
DeleteLovely work! You are a painting machine in 2018!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThese look great! How do you ever get so much painting done?! You fingers must fall off! 😀
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them!
DeleteHow do I do it? A little painting most days gets figures through the painting queue at a reasonable rate.
Very impressive and rather tempting. It is a fascinating period.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Tempting period, for sure.
DeleteAppreciate you stopping in for a visit and a comment.
