Recommended Finishing Essentials
The Professional Palette (Realism & Detail)
- General’s Frock Coat (Dark Blue): AK11189 Dark Prussian Blue provides the deep, authoritative indigo necessary for a high-ranking French officer's coat.
- Gold Braid and Epaulettes: AK11191 Gold offers the rich, metallic luster required for the heavy gold lace and decorations of the general staff.
- Trousers (Campaign White/Gray): AK11002 Offwhite or AK11012 Sky Grey are ideal for recreating the variety of campaign trousers used in the field.
- Horse Hides: AK11102 Deep Brown or AK11115 Light Earth are excellent for creating realistic equine coat variations.
The Speed Painting Path (Fast-to-Table)
- Base Coat: The Army Painter Speedpaint 2.0 Highlord Blue for the coats and Hardened Leather for the horses.
- Quick Detailing: Use The Army Painter Fanatic Matte Black for the riding boots and hats, and Plate Mail Metal for the unsheathed sabers.
Basing & Scenics
- Terrain Foundation: Use Krautcover Scenics Meadows of Purity for the lush grass of the Belgian countryside or Krautcover Scenics Eternal Fields for a campaign-hardened battlefield appearance.
- Foliage & Tufts: Add Krautcover Scenics Static Grass Spring 4mm to simulate the rolling fields where divisional command typically operated.
- Campaign Weathering: Apply AK Interactive European Earth weathering pigments to the horses' lower legs to simulate the dust and mud of the road to Waterloo.
