Since starting them a mere 6 years ago, I have finally finished my Grenadier battalion for the (fictitious) Legion de Fleurie. Back in 2014 I painted the first half dozen figures and the mounted officer, but then my focus strayed to other projects. One of my goals for this year’s Ayton weekend was to get this unit, the first battalion in this scale and period I’ve painted myself in 6 years, ready for battle. Even though the event isn’t happening now, I wanted to get the unit done.
The figures are RSM Austrian Grenadiers, plus a couple of Minden/Fife & Drum standard bearers. The standards themselves were painted to order by Mark Allen (there you go Robbie!) and it’s great to finally see them on the table.
Mark Allen’s wonderful brushwork:
A beautiful unit of toy soldiers , very good indeed .
Beautiful Dave and the flags aren’t bad either.
Bloody lovely unit! I shall look forward to battling against them at the next Ayton!
Thanks guys, appreciate the comments
