French Chasseurs - Perry 28mm

I have quite a backlog of units painted over the last year, so spent a few hours last weekend taking photos and uploading them. I'll post new units every Friday or Saturday, once I've written something explaining what they are, and should have the backlog cleared after three months or so! So stay tuned if you want to see a range of French Empire and Austrian units, including some more unusual pieces amongst them.

I'll start things off though, with more of my favourite Napoleonic unit (hence title of this blog!). Here are two new French Chasseur units, looking very pretty wearing more of a dress rather than campaign uniform. These are from the new(ish), plastic box set from Perry, which is superb with many different options available. 

I've done these as the 7th  and 13th regiments. Here's some pics of the 13th in their orange facings.  

And the 7th with pink facings.

Another excellent Perry kit which also comes with a full colour complete painting and modelling guide for French Chasseurs. Note you get 14 cavalry in each kit, though I've only done up 12 per unit which is my standard number for cavalry. You can also see the Perry metal Chasseurs in campaign uniform, which I painted up over ten years ago now, in this previous post.   The plastic Chasseur kit comes with option to do campaign or full dress uniform and uniform features spanning from early to late Napoleonic period.
