Napoleonic French

I painted these figures a while ago using 'Army Painter' apart from Napoleon and his staff which were painted with a black undercoat.. I only used this method for a short while (for about a quarter of a tin before the AP dried up) and then moved onto washes but have kept using the white undercoat method.  With AP you can achieve a reasonable paint job and get your figures on the table very quickly but I find that the end result is not as satisfying as painting your figures in a more conventional method.

The next two pictures are conversions with Wargames Foundry bodies and Perry Miniatures plastic heads. The figure on the right in each picture has not been converted and is the original Foundry figure.

These figures have been based on single bases and then used in movement trays from 'Warbases'. I plan to use these for large skirmish games like 'Sharpes Practice'. I am only half way through painting the French so there will be plenty more of these to come along with British and Brunswick.
