Here are a variety of figures from my Fescennia (Napolenic "imagi-nation") campaign that I have just finished painting and basing.


A Nemean general of cavalry with his ADC. In my Fescennia campaign, all the generals wear modest uniforms while their ADCs are more elegantly attired, usually in hussar uniforms. The general is an old 25mm Prussian mounted officer metal one-piece casting (OPC) from Hinchliffe; the ADC is a 28mm Perry Miniatures hard plastic figure, put together from the spares box! Nemea's uniform colour is red.

A Nemean general of artillery with his ADC.
Being a more practical arm, the uniform is dark blue and the ADC wears a uniform similar to his general. The latter figure is an old 25mm Hinchliffe metal Marshal Blücher (one of my oldest Napoleonic figures, dating back to the 1970s!); the ADC a 25mm Wargames Foundry metal Prussian reserve mounted officer.

Nemean generals of infantry with their ADCs. Like the figures above, all the generals are 25mm Prussian mounted officer metal one-piece casting (OPC) from Hinchliffe and the ADCs are 28mm Perry Miniatures hard plastic figures, put together from the spares box.

Erymanthian general of infantry with their ADCs. The generals are 25mm metal Hinchliffe Russian mounted officers (OPCs); the ADCs are 28mm Perry Miniatures metal Russian hussars. Erymanthia's main uniform colour is blue.

An Erymanthian general of the guard, along with this ADC. The general is the same basic figure as the infantry generals in the previous picture, but with the head of a Russian Guard infantryman from the spares box.

An Erymanthian general of cavalry and his ADC. The general figure is an Essex 25mm Austrian mounted officer, but with a French dragoon's head from the spares box.


Arcadia has a brigade of troops known as the Foreign Legion. Unlike the rest of the Arcadian army, which wears white or yellow, this formation wears light blue. This figure is the general, along with his ADC; they, however, are in dark blue. The general figure is an old 25mm Hinchliffe metal French mounted officer (OPC); the ADC is a 25mm Warlord metal French lancer officer.

The Arcadian 3rd Grenadier Regiment. After a good dig around in the spares box I found I had enough pieces to put together this unit. All the figures are 28mm Victrix hard plastic French Imperial Middle Guard. In my Fescennia campaign, there are no grenadier companies attached to line regiments, only grenadier regiments, which have sixteen figures. Arcadian grenadier units do not have a flag, only a guidon in the regimental colour.

And finally, some Erymanthian light infantry from their 2nd Light Infantry Regiment. Being light troops, the uniform is green, in contrast to the normal Erymathian colour of blue. Like the grenadiers, their are no light infantry companies with the line regiments, only light infantry regiments. Each unit has sixteen figures, but they do not have a regimental flag. The figures are 25mm Hinchliffe metal Russian jägers.
