Giant Commission -- Complete French Army

It took six months, which is about two months longer than I expected, but it is all done.  Here is the entire army.

Line Infantry





Light Infantry 

Light Cavalry 




Heavy Cavalry 



Artillery



Imperial Guard




Markers


That French army includes 648 foot, 168 cavalry, and 20 guns.


And now the next army waits.  Here are 252 Austrian line infantry just waiting for some paint!

    Absolutely Brilliant Scott!!! You should be proud! I have watched this from the start and am so jealous of your style and quality output. Well done!! You are moving to Austrian, huh? I was hopeing British as 2016 will be a British period for me in SYW & Nappy's. Great job once again. Happy New Year!

      Thanks for the kind words, Scott! I am saving the British for last, as they seem the easiest for me to paint.

      Thanks, Jon! I don't think I will equal your painting output for the year, though.

    As a wargamer and a Napoleonic Wars nerd, this is simply the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen! Thank you for making this happen.

      Thanks, Paul! I just try to set aside two hours every day. Some days I get in a little more, some days a little less.

    Simply fantastic Scott! An absolute inspiration for those wanting to do 15/18mm Napoleonic armies. I would be depressed having to give those up no matter the money. I'm sure the buyer will pop open a champagne bottle when he gets them.

    I love everything your brush has ever touched, but this may be my favorite! A gem of an army.

    Beautiful! What are the trouser colors used with light infantry? As a color blind wargamer I would appreciate! :)

      The base coat is Delta's "Prussian Blue," and the highlight is a mix of "Prussian Blue" and Vallejo's "Intense Blue" at about 1:4.
