Franco Prussian War French

I didn’t feel like painting much today but decided that I’d finish off some figures first started over three, probably four, years ago. They’d been stuck to their bases and then left that way during the house move and I’d never got around to completing them.  Ok, I need a few tufts to really finish them  off but the ones I’ve got are reserved for the French Revolution figures at the moment.And some flags.....

First up, a battalion of Voltiguers of the Imperial Guard. 

Next a battalion Of Tirailleurs Algerians, or Turcos. Foundry figures.

Finally two battalions one of the four Colonial or Marine Regiments. They weren’t  marines as such but  belonged to the  Ministry of Marine which oversaw all Colonial ‘stuff’. Feel free to correct me but it was an arrangement something like that.

I’d forgotten how nice my FPW collection was, so I think a 28mm FPW game is on the cards sometime soon.

Now back to the main task in hand, the French Revolutionary Wars.
