This will be the first gallery post of many more to come, with every part being French and Russian troops, with the purpose of using them to create the fighting in the fleches, in the center of the battle of Borodino. It will be done based on the board game: Battles of Napoleon. For this reason each artillery piece consists of 4 figures. Here, there are 3 gunners and 1 NCO for each gun, and I also painted the officer. This was also the first time I stepped up my basing, and I gotta say I am amazed at the difference it makes. It's as if half a figure's beauty is a good base, and it's also really easy and quick to make. Although I kinda blundered with the poses I chose, cause by making the bases, now the gunmen that are posed to move the gun... simply can't reach it, which looks a bit weird. Here are some pics I hope you enjoy.
