Last week I finished off some brigade commanders for my adopted 1812 French. All by Elite Minis and horses done in the old style - oil and a sponge:

I may go back and add some tufts, but next up is their boss from the Twins…

Marshal Ney, Col Heymes and Levavasseur based on the Waterloo Panorama:

I'm sure there's the odd mistake in there and I have replaced Heymes' leopard pelt flounce with a black sheepskin one.

Very -, but my "cute" vikings will bugger them all!

I'm struggling against years of cultural conditioning not to suggest that (being French) they may not object to that

Yep, failed again

Great minds and all that.

Final version with tufts, bald patch and other small corrections, as well as a purple glaze over the gold.

That's very kind. They were a real pleasure to paint.
