While awaiting the Warlord Games AWI order (still shows „unfulfilled“), figured I’d paint up a few spare Napoleonic French foot.

Only the 2 Line Grenadiers and 6 of the marching Guard Voltigeurs were just painted; the Voltigeur drummer and guy next to him at port arms were already painted – and are Victrix figures. I needed the additional 6 Voltigeurs to up their battalion to 24 figures. I also wanted uncovered shakos for the Grenadiers, so swapped out their heads with some from the Perry Chasseur a Cheval set.

Hope to add a few more Grenadiers in skirmish poses – plan to use them to storm the fleches in the Borodino game.

The Perry and Victrix figures match up nicely and work well in the same unit – and even on the same stands. They also work well with Warlord Games plastics – in fact, I used a Warlord Games backpack w/saber/bayonet scabbard and ammo pouch on one of the Voltigeurs.

These are the figures with a Minwax stain over block painting. After spraying them with matte, I only highlighted the Grenadiers.

A pack of old Foundry AWI mounted commanders are next in the paint queue; but haven’t started on them yet as I need to research their uniforms since this is a new period for me. Hopefully the Warlord Games order gets „fulfilled“ soon. Until next time, best wishes to you all!
