'First Look' at the new Napoleonic French!

[Leon]

Here's the latest batch of masters we've received from the designer, let us know your thoughts!

Carabiniers in bearskin:



Artillery crew:



Sappers:

[NTM]

I think the Carabiniers would be better with short light infantry type gaiters or overalls rather than the over the knee ones especially as you are aiming at 1809. This was a major reason why I did not buy the offerings from one of your competitors. Other than that top notch. 

[cosmico610]

I agree with NTM about the gaiters. Very interesting the sappers

[Jagger]

Any progress on cavalry yet?  I like the way straps and cuffs, etc are exaggerated.  Those can be a real pain to paint when they are not.

Nothing yet, he's still working his way through the foot.  He might jump over to some mounted over the next couple of months, but we're leaving him to work through the lists as he likes.

Here's the Chasseurs a Cheval - Officer, standard, trumpeter, and two trooper poses:

[17-21l]

[Gunhit]

Nice figs, however, would prefer more variety with the horses if possible

Very nice figures.
Maybe I start to use 10mm for my Napoleonic games, instead of my oldies 1/72 figures!!

Here's the back of them:

I'm afraid, your Poles wear wrong uniforms.
The tail of the coat shall be totally different. It's shown here:

Front of the coat also looks strange to me.
And if these lines above the knees are leggins (in the front view photo), I'm sorry, but they didn't wear it.

That could be why the range was never completed?  I'm not sure, I'd have to check with Dave.  Hopefully the new Napoleonic range will expand to replace these older ranges.

It's been a while since we've had some masters to show off, so here's the next couple of codes for the French:

Dragoons:



Cuirassiers:
