AHPC15 Retreat from Moscow French and Allied Infantry


This was posted on the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge blig over a week ago. The Challenge has now finished.

How is there only 1 week to go, until the end of the Challenge??? I still got loads to paint up!


Surprise surprise, here we have another yet another unit for my and Lee's Retreat from Moscow project, this weeks entry is another mixed French and Allied unit of 8 figures from all over Europe including Portugal and Germany. 


The figures are all from Perry Miniatures and are a mix of packs FN168 & FN171


The two front right figures are Wurttembergers while the chap in the back row left is from the Portuguese Legion.


The chap sitting down has the very distinctive Grenadier hat, with the black comb going from side to side rather than the usual back to front. 


These chaps will add another 40 points to my total taking me up to 1142 points!!

    1. They look smart, but take a long time to paint up.

  8. Beautifully done Ray. They look like a suitably ragged bunch.

  9. I like the mish-mash make up of units like this. Really shows the desperation and cling to survival of the moment.
