Hi Everyone
Just finished the first 6 of my Coastal Artillery to guard my fort - interesting uniform

Lovely minis, very nicely painted!  Interesting scale...do you find enough variety in poses?

Well you certainly don’t have the variety that 28mm gives you but the benefits that you get from the larger scale make it a good trade off

I can see that.  Is the terrain scratch built?

That's a interesting uniform, was that for fortress troops only?

Terrific paintjob! They are gorgeous

Yes although I believe Napoleon used them in 1812 elsewhere

Lovely paint job and interesting uniform.  How many troops will you have guarding the battery, I can see this being some set up.

I’m probably going for around 18 infantry plus  12 artillery crew - I’m also having French Marines made and will have sailors mixed in.

Ian, great work, and an interesting setting.

I agree, this is a very interesting setting, look forward to seeing more, especially the French marines.
