French Line Lancers

Well, here they are. These are AB 15mm figures from Fightin15s. It took a few weeks of stop-start painting but I eventually got them finished. I based these using the same size bases I use for the infantry which are 40x30. I stuck them to the bases using 'no more nails' and flocked them as usual. The new thing I tried was to make some reeds from this straw like material I got from Antenocetis workshop, can't say I did a good job - maybe I should have used fewer stalks and spread them open more?

If you click on the pictures you get a more detailed view.

    Thanks Paul, next I'm painting up some generals and staff (including a certain Mr Murat).

    Cheers

    I'm trying to build up a prussian army - I already have prussians & french, with some brits and brunswickers in 1/72 plastic but its flaking away! Broken bayonets, swords and lances is the state of it. I might put some pictures up. Anyway, thats what prompted me to swap to 15mm metal. Plus I like the weighty feel they have.

    Its going to take ages at my rate of painting - not so long ago I could easily stay up till 1:00pm in morning painting away. Now its a few hours on the weekend or a hour or two during the week.

    In terms of rulesets I've got grande armee which is nice and easy. Lasalle (not played but looks ok). I've got General De Brigade, never played it but looks complex as there are no examples of play.

    Cheers
