Napoleonic War French Line Infantry

This was one of those free Warlord sprues from the cover of (probably) Wargames Illustrated, though I don’t recall which issue. 

When I put together the recent werewolves I did come up with some scenario ideas.

Another idea for a scenario. During the Peninsular War the 95th Rifles are on the move to hunt down a French spy in a Spanish village. However unknown to them, the village is cursed and there is a full moon.

Well I thought, as well as the 95th and the werewolves, why not throw some French infantry into the mix.

There are four infantry figures on the sprues with a choice of heads, there wasn’t any bases. 

They were really simple to put together, a body, a head, and a back pack. Taking the cue from the werewolves, I based them on some two pence coins.

I then used some Citadel Sand, using PVA white glue to adhere it to the coins. I also used some slate as well.

The next stage was to give them a white undercoat.

Now onto the base coats.
