Hi all!  :D

First post here. I've been in the hobby for many years, but this is the first time I have tried 10mm. Must say the Pendraken minis are wonderful to paint!

I've never done the FPW so decided to start here. I'm a fairly slow painter, so things won't move rapidly. I am presently working on the French and plan to do a couple divisions worth of minis and then move over and paint Prussians.

Here is where my army stands at the moment:

Here is a closeup photo of my line infantry. I used charging Chasseurs to mix it up a bit.



Here are a couple battalions of Chasseurs I just finished. Ideally for grand tactical gaming they should be just one stand, but I like 2 stands so that they look like they are skirmishing:



Hope you like the minis! I'll be posting more as I finish them, but as I say, I'm a pretty slow painter.

Welcome to the forum. FPW is in my top three favourites. A fascinating period with bucket loads of reference material these days. The photos look great. I also use 6mm buildings with 10mm and can highly recommend Timecast, Total Battle Miniatures and Levan Miniatures for some really authentic French buildings for the period.
