Age Of Eagles - French Painting Progress

Just over a Month on from when by Baccus order arrived I have made steady progress on the Age Of Eagles French Army. I have been painting as much as I can find the spare time, the weekends have been the most productive as I it's the best time to prep more figures and get them primed.

Here are some photos of my finished and based up brigades.

FRENCH INFANTRY OF THE LINE 1809

The infantry are much quicker to paint than the bloody cavalry!

FRENCH CUIRASSIER'S

It's taken me a full week to paint his brigade up. I took a lot longer than I anticipated but I really wanted to put everything into getting a nice paint job.

I am pleased by how nice these have turned out. I was careful not to accentuate the blue uniform too much as I was trying to make the figures look bright but retain the depth of the uniform. I do tend to make my figures look deliberately brighter as I feel that 6mm needs to stand out.

CHASSEUR'S A CHEVAL

FULL ARMY SO FAR.

The Limbers and 6 and 12 Pounder artillery units were more fun to paint than I imagined. Normally I truly hate painting Limbers but these were done fairly quickly.

My next push is to paint up my divisional and corps commander stands, then complete another 23 stands of line infantry this will give me 40 stands of infantry which should be more than enough to get some brigades on table on a Thursday night and thump Jon's Austrians.

Out of £130 worth of figures I will still have around 16 bases of Grenadiers and another brigade of Cuirassier and Dragoons plus some limbers.

If everyone enjoys the rules and I get more inspiration from playing I will possibly order more stuff to build on the army for bigger games.

Jon - please send the the orders of battle so I can focus on specific builds. Thanks

The Dark Side (no not Starwars)

After a chat I had with Ian on Thursday its clear to me that many of the figures I paint go unnoticed by this blog for the simple reason that they are painted for someone else and are (deep breathe) 28mm.

So here is a quick snap shot of the figures that have gone across the desk of A Brush Too Far in the last four months
