French Force Leader

Volte-Face also gets a horse, so he can run away that bit faster

If the Austrians were getting a mounted force leader, it seemed only fair that the French had one too. This is another Front Rank miniature. It is actually Grouchy from the Waterloo era. But I loved the pose, face and the flamboyant uniform which contrasts quite nicely with the shabbier campaign look of the French force.

So what's next? Well, 20 or so plastic Austrian militia. A lot of grey and white! And a handful of extra metal "French" officers and NCOs. These are to expand the options for current units, but one officer is destined for the Kingdom of Italy Light Infantry Grenadiers/Carabiniers that I'm really looking forward to completing. Their bicorns, deep green uniforms and yellow facings/waistcoats will make for an unusual group. I posted a test-figure a few months back.
