Ligne and Leger, and not much Morr


Above are 15 of the French Ligne (Line infantry) battalion I'm working on. Only nine models to go.
Below are the first 12 of the French Leger (Light infantry) battalion I'm working on at the same time. Only 12 more of those models to go. I'm very glad to have "broken the back" of these units. 27 down and only 21 to go.


For those of you who have been wondering why the work on my Procession of Morr army has slowed down, well the recent rash of crazy Empire rumors has me wondering what will be released if and when it happens. The latest crop suggests an April release which would give me enough time to incorporate some stuff into the army. So, until these rumors here are confirmed, I'll keep plugging away on my Flagellant unit.

Cheers
Dave

    Lovely work Sir! I love the subtle differences in colour palette for the light infantry.

      Thanks Michael, I'm enjoying the contrast between the two units.

      Thanks Monty, they are indeed the Perry plastics. A very nice kit I can see myself using a lot in the future, not just for French, but some Swiss, Polish, and Westphalian troops too : )

    Great job! Your Guns of April will look amazing. What base sizes do you use?

      Thanks NW Crew, we're excited to see things starting to really come together. For these we're using mostly 50x50mm bases, with six infantry or two cavalry to a base. In some units a 50x50 base actually consists of two 25x50mm bases (like the guys on the right of the Leger unit). Our artillery is based on 50x100mm bases.

    It's a good feeling to be over the middle and have less to do than when you first started out with a mountain of primed models staring at you.
    Nice work there.

    Ron, FTW

      Thanks Ron, getting over "the hump" is definitely a good feeling. I hope to experience that a few more times this year ; )

    Hi Paul, thanks for the comment. I must say I enjoyed your last post on your Russians. I even read the part about your wife taking a greater interest in your toy soldiers to my wife ; )
