Napoleonic Vignettes in 28mm
« on: August 08, 2017, 11:24:46 AM »

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.

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 ... :?

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. :)
