Napoleonic Grenzers

Posted by ToneTW on 27 Aug 2018, 20:51

A few of the new Newline Designs 20mm Grenzers from the Napoleonic Austrian range. As ever nicely detailed miniatures which lend themselves very well to my usual painting method of blocking, washing then highlighting.

There are two advance poses, two firing poses and one loading pose. The command set is great and I love the NCO encouraging his men! Mixing the codes you can create a good looking irregular firing line. I am not an expert in Napoleonic era uniforms but these look close enough to what I have seen. I used a few plates from around the web and the Hat 1/72 Grenzer art work for reference. I still need to get a flag and base them but I will do that at a later date. Cheers!

Thanks chaps! Yes Napoleonics is my 2nd favorite era I love the uniforms and history. I do have lots of "pending projects" across other eras and some in different scales too. However I am next pressing on with some Carthaginians for Zama then Seleucids and Attalids for Magnesia.

Cheers again!
