Warlord Games - 28mm French Line Infantry

Box Art
This release from Warlord Games sees a useful set of French Line Infantry for teh Napoleonic Wars, up to about 1812. The set consists of 28 x plastic figures supplied 4 to a frame, see below right, plus 4 x metal figures of an officer, standard bearer and drummer),

One figure on each frame has epaulette and is thus designed to be used as either a Grenadier or a Voltigeur, this ratio is rather high so some of the epaulettes can be carved off with a sharp knife to reduce the excess flank men back to the centre companies!


Moulding quality is excellent, with virtually no visible flash, the poses are very utilitarian, all figures are in a marching stance. This makes assembly easy, simply add a head and a backpack and you are done...

Figure Frame
... if you want variety then we'd suggest getting hold of some of the Perry or Victrix figures, they are totally compatible.

Back to the figures, as noted each frame has 4 figures, a selection of 5 backpacks (two with attached hangers) plus selection of 8 heads, wearing a selection of shakos, with or without plumes and / or covers.
