French Starter Army (Waterloo Campaign)

Large formations of French Line Infantry form the solid core of the army, ideal for recreating the organised assaults and battlefield manoeuvres that defined the Grande Armée. Supporting them are units of French Light Infantry, bringing mobility and tactical flexibility through skirmishing actions, screening duties and rapid battlefield movement.

The inclusion of French Line Lancers adds a dramatic cavalry element capable of threatening exposed flanks and exploiting weakened enemy formations. Backed by a 6-pounder field cannon and a mounted officer directing the advance, the army captures the coordinated combined-arms approach that made French forces so formidable across Europe.

• 84 French Line Infantry miniatures
• 28 French Light Infantry miniatures
• 12 French Line Lancers
• Mounted officer included
• 6-pounder field cannon included
• Full-colour flag sheets provided
• Waterslide decal sheets included

The varied troop selection makes this set particularly rewarding for hobbyists looking to build a dynamic French army with strong visual contrast between infantry, cavalry and artillery elements. Detailed uniforms, regimental markings and decorative banners also provide excellent opportunities for immersive painting projects.

Whether advancing in disciplined columns or launching decisive cavalry attacks, this force delivers the speed, aggression and battlefield spectacle associated with Napoleonic France at its peak.
