Hello
I'm ashamed to show these minis, as most of the minis here are of greater quality ( I'm not a good painter,I know ! ;D )
But as I started 1809 ( French & Austrian, I will mainly play solo ) I wanted to show them. It will force me to paint :D

I used grass for the first time. It's so quick and easy.. Why did I wait for so long ?! :o
( for he story, I used to play 6mm napoleonics, a long time ago - before the internet ! ??? - and lost my armies... So I'm back to this era. And I realized I have many things to learn and/or relearn ! )
They look good to me ronan!
Nowt wrong with them, looking mighty fine to me. :-bd :-bd

Thank you guys, you're nice ! ;)

Top work Ronan! 8)
Once those grace your table they will be brilliant.
Love the way the French plumes for each company works. :)
:-bd =D> :-bd
It's only Napoleonics - people don't expect much! ;)
Ronan,
Any updates buddy? These look great, and I'm trying to encourage you to keep going! :D
V/R,

Nothing wrong with the figures, they look really good. What I would do to improve the overall look is change your basing style. Try a sand and glue mix, paint with a yellow ochre colour, wash with a chocolate brown, dry brush with tan yellow followed by buff. Finally add flock or static grass, but don't cover the whole base:

Another option, particularly if you have quite a few based already, would be to add some shrubs, rocks and/or different flock to add some variety
Of course if you are happy with them, don't change a thing ;)
Didn't spot the 'ill mostly play solo' part the first time i checked this post!
What rules will you be using?
Nice! I like what you did with the French and have the Voltigeurs and Grenadier very distinct. I also love that you have the battalion commanders based individually and the colonel of the regiment on horseback (unless I'm mistaken). What sort of ruleset are you using?
Yes looking at the layout would suggest something like sharp practice?
