Probably the 8th Regiment, but I painted these guys quickly, using a wash technique which I normally don't do for my Napoleonic figures. My challenge with these guys was to find a blue I was happy with. I settled on Vallejo Dark Blue (code 70.930) but with a black wash as I thought it was too bright and shiny. The latter was my fault as I hadn't stirred the pot enough. I'm using the same blue for some Swedish infantry I'm currently working on and I hope/think they will turn out okay.

British Essex figures repurposed.
I kept the original hat badge and ignored the epaulettes.
Flag is from the Warflags site.
All lined up with a casualty marker.
Looking flash and ready for a fight,
sadly however I have no table top plans for them at the moment.
They look lovely Mark. I really like the lighter blue dry-brush/highlight. An imposing looking line!
ReplyDeleteThanks James. The effect was created by a black wash. Ive used the same blue on the Swedes I have now started, but mixed it better and so won't be applying a wash or dry bush, for the first batch at least. The Swedes seem to have a mix of blue shades based on local conditions.
