From BenG: 20mm Napoleonic French Infantry (26 points)

From Ben:

I've been down at the beach for the past week, but in between surfing with the kids, I've managed to finish another 9 figure battalion of 1/72nd Schilling French infantry.

The officer is a ring-in, though: He's an SHQ figure added to give a bit of variety. The fusilier in the pokalem is a conversion using specially made conversion heads from a French manufacturer called Lancier Bleu.

Next up will be some HaT figures painted as Conscripts of the Italian Guard and a Late Roman Command stand.

Well Ben, I'm certainly glad this didn't interrupt your surfing too much... Cheeky SOB! Seriously, great work! Nice touch with the head swap. The forage cap trooper accentuates the overall campaign feel to the unit.

These lads will give Ben 26 points, including the head mod. Well done.

Ben sends us this great entry of nine French Napoleonic infantry in 20mm scale.

From Ben:

Here's my first contribution to this year's challenge; a 20mm 9 figure battalion of French infantry clad in post-1812 Bardin regulation uniform based for our club rules, Cold Steel. They are manufactured by Schilling Miniaturen who are a German company, with a small range of mainly French and Brunswick infantry. Hopefully they produce more because they are sweet to paint!

Very nice work Ben. I really like that model of the loading fusilier with the close-positioned legs, biting the gun cartridge - very evocative of the period, I think. I was looking over the entire range and there are some brilliant vignettes available. A great find.

Ben gets 36 points for these lads.
