I rather like the older units from the French army...simple - some may say plain - uniforms and just as simple flags.
In my opinion they make quite bold looking units...maybe it is that lack of 'fuss' that makes them stand out.
These guys were painted in same way as the previous units...
Everything was blocked in with flat colours...
Coat ,Stockings and Facings ... My own Grey/White mix...

Musket/wooden bits/powder flask ... Citadel ...Mournfang Brown
Belts ... Foundry ... Buff Leather
Ammunition pouches and Officers scabbards ... Citadel ... Skrag Brown
Grenadier, Sergeant and hat braid ... Foundry ... Ochre 4B.
A wash with Aly's Brown Liquid...
If your memories as good as mine... the recipe is here...

Everything is re-highlighted and leather goods and metal fixings are varnished.
And here they all are...
I am very pleased with this unit and I will probably add Champagne, Piemont or Normandie to the army...or maybe all of them.
The miniatures are as always Front Rank...
