Title: My New Chasseurs a Cheval
Post by: Melnibonean on 22 March 2018, 11:25:08 PM

I recently finished paining a box of Warlords' French Chasseurs. As I mentioned elsewhere in this forum these figures are decidedly second rate although they do stand as a passable representation of chasseurs. I got them cheap and I'm glad I didn't pay more for them than I did.

I did a more detailed write up on my blog regarding my thoughts concerning these figures at: http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com.au/2018/03/do-i-smell-chicken-chasseurs.html

A very good review of otherwise poor figures... I bought 4 of these figures when Warlords did a sprues sales some time back and I'm glad I didn't buy a whole box even if they are cheaper...

I also thought that their musket had barrels that where too long... but maybe that's just me...

Anyhow, I'll wait for the Perry ones to come out, they look a lot better.

That being said, you did a pretty decent paint job on your figures.
