French infantry in greatcoat (VI)
These are the first results of my last painting job: Newline 20mm French Infantry in greatcoat. I have painted one half of the Newline bargain pack, 50 figures, comprising the elites, the command figurees and some fusiliers. The other half, 50 fusiliers, is now in the pipeline.
See some of the results and take into account that my painting system follow the 'three feet rule'

I hope these fantassins win battles in the Leipizg campaign!

Good job, Rafa - must be quicker to paint when they're wearing greatcoats!
ReplyDeleteHi Steve
ReplyDeleteReally is more easier (and faster) to paint greatcoats than coats, breeches and the like....
Still there are other 54 men waiting...
Nice paint job! They look imposing in a tight formation like that.
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea! I search an 'en masse' efect

Muy chulos, Rafa. Por cierto, ¿conoces la técnica del betún de judea? Creo que quedaría muy bien con este tipo de uniformes (con pocos detalles) Yo la usé para la guerra civil americana y quedaron muy bien.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
La conzoco, pero me da cosa usarla... igual que la de las tintas ¡temo estropear las figuras!
ReplyDeleteSaludos
I know it, but I'm afraid to use it and damage the figures!

Hi Rafa,
ReplyDeleteThey look like they mean business! However please remember that the newest painted units always rout in the first game!

ReplyDeleteI agree: My new and precious Strelets Russian Light cavalry, became routed and dispersed in their first encounter in the battle of Reichenbach.
I hope these fantassins will behave in a different way!

One of the interesting aspects of greatcoat troops, is that you can use them as nearly anybody's troops. This is especially useful in the later stages of the Napoleonic era as the Prussian troops became confused for French conscripts in the muddy mess that they all become on the wet battlefields of 1813.
ReplyDeleteI have a collection of bicorne wearing 25mm greatcoat troops that I think were supposed to be Russians, however with a quick flag change they can become just about any nationality.
Great work Rafa ~ keep those brushes working!
Thanks a lot!
