6mm Spanish succession French Army

 Ok so its not a full army yet but its on its way.  I am doing the Italian campaign mostly thanks to mr baccus person [Peter], I was chatting to him about what to do with WSS, british/French etc and what campaign.  He said Italian campaign, so here I am.   I am making the French army as a attacking army, my Austrians defensive.
 French generals, 1 overall commander, 2 sub generals and 2 lower generals, depicted with different number of figures.
 French Mortars.  I decided to dig the cannon into position with gabions around them, simply as it looks cool.  The gabions are made from sticks with wire wrapped around and gravel stuck to the top. 
 French siege guns, dug in and ready to blast the Austrian defences.
 The French army in full


 forward and rear view of the siege guns.
 Forward and back view of the mortars dug in.
 more of the French generals
 French dragoons, dismounted to represent how they fought, I dislike mounted dragoons.
 French cuirassier, and 1 regiment of gendarme, 3 regiments of guard cavalry.
 French horse, only 4 regiments so far.
French infantry, note the battalion guns to add fire power.

French 1st Hussars

 
French Hussars of the 1st Regiment. Apart from the fact that they are easy to paint I just like the look of the 1st Regiment, The Figs are from Lancashire Games and these were ordered without command which is a shame as Hussar Command is what makes French hussars look so good, the reverse colours and mixture of dress between the command contrast well with the rest of the regiment, but here am I talking about what you cant see.

Victrix napoleonic French

 
Here is a couple of pics of my victrix napoleonic french, a full regiment of 24 troops, I got a box and did half up as french and stuck them on Ebay and converted the rest into Warhammer 40k, for more on this project see my warhammer 40k and all that Blog. The Victrix are fun figures although a little spindly compared to wargames Factory or Gripping beast, but better than the Spanish Succession figures from the Affore mentioned. They paint up well and you dont have to invent detail like ton so many lead figures these days.

15mm French Lancers

 
A regiment of Napoleonic French Line Lancers. The figures are all Lancashire games, with no command. This is one of the basic booster sets we do all the time and make a little addition to any French army.

6mm napoleonic French

 
Some more figures from Baccus, these are Napoleonic French, based this time in columns on Polemos large bases, and can be good for making regiments have a little more character however there was little that can be done with all those files of troops but they still look good.  These ones have no Flags.
