General Montcalm and the Regiment Chartres






The French brigades got some reinforcements, now led by General Montcalm, a magnificent miniature of Trident. Even if Monsieur le General fought mostly in Northern America, I could´t resist to order him to place him on the peak of this beautiful Regiment of French Musketeers, also Trident.
I painted them as Chartres.


The figures are build of several parts to assemble - so you are free to change and turn heads.

    I look forward to the eventual arrival on you table, one day, of Wolfe and the armies before Quebec complete with native allies in war paint, one day perhaps not soon but.....

    Hi Peter,
    Very cool looking figures and again very nice setting of the scenery that gives the pictures a realistic athmosphere.

    Wonderful figures and regiment. How are your figures based (what size base and how many figures per base)? What is the spacing of the figures?

    1. ScheckJuly 12, 2018 at 7:52 PM

      The bases are 7cm x 7cm or 6 cm x 6cm and give place to 6 figures.
