Napoleonic Madness

Some various Napoleonic units that I have been working on. 

The Austrians and Prussians are Perry miniatures. The French are Warlord Games with Perry Miniatures command (a few head swaps here and there).

Just painting some units I fancy rather than stick to one nationality.

I will be doing dome Spanish next.

One of the things I really wanted for my Seven Years war Russian collection was a 3pdr BN gun.

I managed to get Richard Dickens to make one for Claymore Castings. Here is a sneak preview of the 3rd printed master.

Major-general Leontiev


 Finished my command base for the Russian brigade. This is my Major-general Leontiev who command the brigade at Kunersdorf.

The brigade 

I was asked about the paints I used for the greens and reds on this project. I chose the colours for painting large numbers fast and so I can go back and replicate the recipe in the future.

Here they are..

Reds

1: Base of GW Mephiston Red.
2: Light wash with Army Painted Stong Tone, thined out with a touch of water.
3: A highlight of GW Evil Sunz Scarlet.

The Green

1: Base of Foundry Russian Green B.
2: A slight wash with Strong Tone thinned out with a touch of water.
3: A highlight of Russian Green C and a touch of flesh added.

Hope this helps!
