I'm interested in looking at some 28mm French Napoleonic vignettes. Not action scenes, just some simple vignettes of figures in camp etc. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
I am aware of the Perry Miniatures ones, just keen to see what else is available.
-
Westfalia now sold by Black Hussar have some possibilities.
-
Calpe have some very nice command sets
-
The TFL blog has some examples of compositions they've put together:

Eureka have a bunch of beautiful vignette scenes like the dragoons at a water trough with a couple ladies sitting nearby, the weaponsmiths, bakery set etc. Or you could even try the undead Napoleonics for something slightly left of field.
-
I second the Eureka ones (down the bottom of this link):

I'll third the Eureka sets. Here is my poorly photographed take on them from a few years ago:

They also have a fun assortment of looting cossacks!

I will not be of much help on this blow there. I will have chosen Perry. The poses are good and there are several references. Sorry to be unable to help you anymore ... :?

I've got this one, MIB; if it is of any interest:

Hi Hammers, thanks for the offer. I'm looking for vignettes of two or three figures, of soldiers in camp, around the fire chatting, that sort of thing. If all else fails I'll go with the Perry ones, but they are mostly only officers.
The Eureka figures are lovely but more Revolutionary Wars than I am after.
-
Didn't Colonel Bill have a tent of a discreet nature and purpose at one stage?
-
How about the Perry's set of young guard sitting around on their packs,waiting for action, they'd look great around a campfire, the command pack set even has a guy playing the flute and the drummer playing along,or the artillery hired hands,but I guess you've seen those ? They seem to meet all your requirements at a one stop shop :)

No Perry does not only make officers

Don't forget the old Foundry vignettes. The Foundry Napoleonics have yet to be uploaded on the new website but if it's a French campfire scene you want, then FN325 fits the bill perfectly :

Thanks guys, I had missed the Perry infantry ones. The Foundry look perfect too. :)
-
Wargames Foundry also did two nice diorama sets - one of French troops guarding wounded Austrian Prisoners and another of a mixed group of french troops, including a very nice musician, chatting up a vivandierie. They should still be available but with Wargames Foundry revamping their website the Napoleonic French are not showing, you'll eed to give them a ring or e-mail.
-
Thank you, that's very much appreciated.
-
It sounds like someone might be making Sharp Practice deployment points? What about Warlord's vivandiere and mule as one? I picked one up for just that purpose.

Possibly ;) lol

Did someone say deployment points ? I just went quick and dirty for mine :)

Thats a nice idea.Simple but effective :)

Eureka also do a lovely cantiniere with cart. I think she'd pass for post-revolution and the cart comes with a load of separate goodies.
Old Glory has a nice pack titled "The Death of Lannes" (IIRC) that features wounded, surgeons, and various hangers on.
-
I put these little vignettes together with leftover figures. The mule is a Warlord one. They're on 60mm round mdf bases if I remember correctly. I like the standardised base size as they all tie in visually and it keeps things manageable

Nice work on those Steve,I'm assuming in the first that guy has drunk too much vodka and in the second he's seeking forgiveness :) Like the use of the Russian priests too :)
Cheers

Seconded.Very nicely done. :)
-
Would the Front Rank Napoleonic civilians be useful. There are gentlemen, ladies and the lower orders, includes a pump and trough.
-
Yep, good suggestion, thanks Dave. :)

That's exactly what's supposed to be going on Keith!
I have some of the Front Rank Napoleonic civilians and they are very nice. You may also find the odd useful item in Redoubt Enterprise's Bits section. They do civilians, tools, etc.

Nailed it ! :)
