Blue Moon French Legere 1805

While I prep Glenn's Austrian cavalry, I took a little time out to put the finishing touches on these 56 French Legere.  All the figures are from Blue Moon.  The flags are from GMB.


Painting this large commission has reminded me just how much I love AB Miniatures, but most of my own Napoleonic armies are made up of Old Glory and Blue Moon.  I like how robust the Blue Moon figures are.


These are part of a large lot of 1805-7 and American Civil War figures that I bought last summer from a fellow gamer.  I was able to get over 150 packs from him for a very good price.


These figures are based for Age of Eagles, but I use the same basing scheme for General de Brigade.  I have a number of good scenarios for Austerlitz, Jena, Auerstadt, Eylau, and Friedland.


Once the giant commission is done, look for me to add to my 1805-7 forces!

    Beautiful brushwork, Scott! Don't often see earlier legere with the side plume shakos.

      Thanks, Jon! No, anything pre-1809 seems to be a rarity. I wonder why that is?

      Thanks, Christopher! It's Glenn's special mix for the blue highlight.

    Holy S""t man they are sweet ! As for pre- 1809 I agree but I do keep looking at the 1816 Prussian campaign. I've even started some Saxons .....

    Scott,

    Your work is really some of my absolute favorite. You turn out the perfect toy soldiers, and that is the best compliment I can think of:)
