Napoleonic French Light Infantry Regiment

 

I have just painted an understrength French Napoleonic Light Regiment. By no means at full strength but its a start...

Some friends have for some time talked about starting up Napoleonics in 28mm and I was really hesitant as I have already done 28mm Napoleonics previously some years ago but then I had a hard time to motivate people to paint all those stripes and buttons and some people moved and so on.
So I gave away my painted collection.

But my friend Tobias 3d printed and handed me a small unit of French light infantry and some officers. 
So apparently I have started painted Napoleonics again...

I still had a box of unpainted miniatures and bits, so I could but together another small unit of light infantry...
To start it all up again my plan is to start with two small units of skirmishing french Voltigeurs with some officers.

The basic infantry are mounted on square bases and the officers on rounded or ellipsed base to make them stand out a little.

So yeah... Im apparantly doing Napoleonics again...

Vive la france!

Alpha Legion Headhunters

 

With a new edition of Horus Heresy close by I thought it was high time to finish up these Head Hunters that I have had built and half painted for some time. Now with the last steppes finished I got another 12 painted to the collection.

With the Head Hunter bits as a base and then added a lot of different bits, mostly MkVI armour and bits.

Lord Marshal Dreir leading Deathriders of the Death Korps of Krieg

 

Here we have the plastic Deathriders for the Death Korps of Krieg with the new special character Lord Marshal Dreir.
I am really really impressed by the new plastic Deathriders. Lots of options, bits and such nice movement in the miniatures.

The old Forgeworld resin miniatures were nice but they were standing still. The new ones larger so it might be hard to interchange them in units, but I have plans to rebase the old ones with raised bases so it would trick the eyes somewhat.

I gave their officer a hackle from a Napoleonic shako from my historical collection of bits... To make hime stand out even more.

I gave one of the riders a drum, also from my Napoleonic bit pile...
I guess his drumming skills might be a bit unappreciated as I think all of these miniatures might have hearing disability, both from their helmets and gas masks but also from all the shelling and livefire from both training and actual combat...
But i like the added fun little detail.
