28mm Perry Plastics Franco-Prussian War French

 28mm French for FPW Sharp Practise, figures by Perry, unit bases by Products for Wargames, as seen in action here.

 
Chasseurs a Pied and the five extra figures from the orignal set that I had not got round to.
Including a bugler and a sergeant with pretensions of officer classes.

Tried to get the kepi right


Not quite enough for the line to make an extra unit, but skirmishers are sixes in Sharp Practice, so two groups of those please.


Back view


And fire!
 
Leadership bases from Sabotag3d, fits 25mm nicely.


Might have to buy pack 2 (7-12) if this project gains any traction at the club!
You may refer to me as: Lord Speedy of Leighton.

First three groups of eight


I was going to prettify the unit bases, but looking at them, I like the unbased effect!


My view


Column right?


In column left


Fouth unit and fifth units


Really liked these to paint, building however?


Fire!


Slight change to normal Sharp Practise - Age of Rifles uses 'Extended line' from 'Flexible drill' rule.


The rest without unit bases (next month's purchase)

Off we go


They're on the right now!

Everyone point at the enemy


Loins led by...


Casulty bases for Sharp Practise 'Shock' markers, the space between the legs is perfect for a Pendraken 7mm die!


Hopefully, they never get higher than 1 shock?  ;D

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain.

Soldiers of Napoleon - French Imperial Guard vs Austrians - bad day to be a hussar.

Whilst down in Wiltshire for the Devizes comp, Nigel very kindly gifted me his 10mm Imperial Guard division from FOGN (Field of Glory Napoleonics), and although I had rebased the cavalry and generals (including painting some), the guard themselves were not finished. I scrabbled together a 900 Soldiers of Napoleon list (which turns out to be illegal, read the rules Will), and fielded it Vs Mark's undefeated Austrians. My army, including reserves, was twelve units and Mark could basically do that in two brigades! My list : Two brigades of two five Old Guard infantry, with two twelve pounders and full cassions. Guards Heavy cavalry brigade. Five Grenadiers a Chevel. Five Guards Dragoons. Three batteries of 8lber guns. Guards light cavalry brigade. Four Guards lancers, four Guards Chasseurs a Chevel. Three batteries of three 8lber guns. Mark had: An Avent Guard brigade with hussars, artillery, jagers and two infantry units, two dragoons with horse artillery as his cavalry brigade,An in...
