Franco Prussian War French Infantry Painting Guide
After a flurry of painting, I have completed all of the French infantry that came with my starter set for Eagles of Empire. I had the presence of mind to slow down on my last squad and document my process. What follows is my interpretation of how to paint Imperial French line infantry for the 1870 campaign.

Eagles of Empire Franco Prussian War Starter Set Review
A few weeks ago I had a bit of an accident on the Eagles of Empire website. I’ve followed this company for awhile as I liked the look of the models and find the period really interesting (the Franco-Prussian War was in many ways one of the first modern wars). Particularly, the uniforms are absolutely ace - both sides are gorgeously colorful and very striking on the gaming table. I was a bit put off by it being a skirmish game but slowly came round to the idea through watching Real Time History’s excellent series “Glory and Defeat” - a week by week accounting of the war (seriously go check it out, all the stuff Real Time History and The Great War puts out is fantastic). I never quite realized how many “small” actions there were and how even the larger battles at the war’s start could be broken down into smaller “moments”. A few clicks and weeks later a box showed up at my post office containing the starter set - two bags of French and Prussian line infantry along with the Infantry Drill Book (which can be called the basic rulebook).
