Field of Glory Napoleonics

Re-basing my old 10mm French from Grande Armee to FOGN. It goes so quick when you don't have to paint the minis too! Now I just need more bases to arrive quickly.

The French Army

Finished up the Cuirassiers bases, completing the the last unit of troops for the French army. I still have a Prussian army to begin, but halfway is better than nothing!

In all it's glory! I'm still going to flock and dull-coat, but for the time being they will stay like this.

Cuirassiers

I'm so close to finishing up the French! I decided to paint up a base of cuirassiers this weekend so I can move on to the Prussians and finally get around to playing some games. Only 3 more stands to go!

Hussars!

2 bases of Hussars! I got lazy and painted them all like the 1st Hussars and just changed the musician's pelisse and the poms. I've only got 4 bases of cuirrasiers left and the French are finished! (I may have inadvertantly painted the 2nd base as the 5th Hussars, lucky!)

6mm French Generals

Here are my 3 Generals bases. I didn't try anything fancy with the basing, just plain old pumice. They'll get flocked/grassed along with the rest of the army at a later date.

6mm French Infantry

The last of my french infantry bases, done. I bent the flags around this time. I'll try to bend the others to match if it's possible to do it without damage. Only generals, hussars, and cuirassiers to go.

6mm French Dragoons

Here are my French Dragoons.

6mm French light infantry

Here are two completed light infantry bases with skirmishers. I'll be adding skirmishers to the rest of my infantry bases. I'm starting on four bases of dragoons, so stay tuned.

6mm French Chasseurs

Here are the 2 stands of French Chasseurs from the starter army. Still so much to go.

6mm French Artillery

I finished up 4 foot artillery bases. they went surprisingly quick considering all the little gaps and spaces. I assembled the cannon and glued it to the base, primed it, painted it, then used pumice just around the cannon. I left as much room as possible for gluing down the crew. I painted the crews on sticks first, them glued them to the bases, then pumiced the rest of the base. I think it would have been much harder to pumice the base with everything glued at once.

6mm French infantry

Here are the 5 bases, ready for flocking. They came out pretty good. One issue that I need to work on is the gapping that occurs within the ranking, where all the strips of infantry come in contact. Perhaps using more glue and then dropping sand will help cover the gaps. I've started prepping sticks of cavalry and artillery crews.
I'm really looking forward to playing some Napoleonics again.

6mm French infantry

I lost interest in these 6mm french for a bit. Too much other shiny space men stuff was holding my interest. I'll continue to jump back and forth between projects, but I definitely want to keep some forward progress going on these guys.
