Peninsular Warriors - French Artillery

Having completed the bulk of the Allied force, I am now turning my attention more towards the French, with this batch of  figures covering the foot artillery.

My plan is for the French to initially have three foot batteries and one horse artillery battery.

Peninsular Warriors - Allied Staff Officers

There are just four staff officer figures available from Warrior. Of these only two are of use for the Peninsula War, as the first figure is a model of Napoleon and another is a Prussian general in Feldmutz type cap.

The remaining two are a Field Marshal and a Marshal, which are described as suitable for any army on the Warrior Miniatures website.  They are fairly generic and with the right paint job they do look OK. First off we have the 'Field Marshal' figure, which I have painted as my Spanish commander:

The second is the 'Marshal' figure, which I am using as my second British brigade commander (or Division), depending upon the scenario):
I have two French marshals too.

Peninsular Warriors - British Royal Horse Artillery

Another offering from the Warrior Miniatures stable are these rather splendid Royal Horse Artillery figures. My plan is to have one battery of horse, one battery of line for the British, and two Spanish batteries. The French will have three line and one horse battery.

Peninsular Warriors 7 - Warrior Miniatures 25mm British Rifles

Another offering from Warrior Miniatures, their spirited British Riflemen, which I have painted to represent the 60th Rifles. They were fun to paint, with their powder horns and long hair tied at the back. Perfect for those earlier Napoleonic engagements during the Peninsular War
