French Revolution and Egyptian Campaign: Egyptian Campaign armies




I've now finished painting the Egyptian Campaign contingents.

The French include light infantry demi brigades, grenadiers, and dromedaires. The mounted general is an S Range Lasalle while the camel mounted Napoleon and general/aide are from Fine Scale Factory.

The opposition include Egyptian infantry, Bedouins, and Syrian infantry.

S Range Peninsular war armies

I am indebted to Brian for sending me a large number of pictures of his Peninsular War armies made up of S Range figures.

These feature his very handsome scenery, figures including AWI French painted as Spanish Napoleonic line, and some superb flags.

The whole thing has a very pleasing aesthetic. I particularly like the simple neat block painting of the troops, which is the effect I strive for on my Hinton Hunts without achieving this standard.

As it seems to have become incredibly difficult to load multiple pictures into posts in blogger, I have set the pictures up as slideshows, in this and the two following posts.

Napoleonic Cavalry Units

I've been trying to paint some of my S Range Napoleonic cavalry. This required getting the completed ones out to see how units could work, and I was very surprised by some of the results - not least how many Mamelukes and Horse Grenadiers I have. I hadn't realised I had quite as many already painted as I have, so I thought it might be worth posting some of them here and on the Old Metal Detector blog, for Les Higgins and Lamming units.
