It's taken me a few years but I finally have all the French Personality figures and Generals finished so I thought I'd better catalogue them here for posterity. All the figures were painted by me unless otherwise credited.

Great collection - but when was Murat a prince? I thought he skipped 'Prince' going from Grand Duke straight to King?
Given your recent experiences in the Invasion of Britain campaign you could field a cavalry unit made up of generals. Do you think Rob will notice?
Rob, if Marcus Hinton said Murat was a Prince then who are we to question it!
Mark, that's a great idea - plus 6 to all die rolls!
Wow, I never realised that HH produced so many French Generals! They are suitably magnificent Ian.
Lee, yes its a shame that other manufacturers have never followed suit in such similar detail.
Actually you are right and I am wrong - it bugged me so I looked it up and he was made a prince of the Empire... :o(
Jaunty looking fellows to a man. Highly effective leopard and tiger skin saddlecloths too.
Best Regards,
Stokes
A splendid array of commanding fellows Ian…
I think Minifigs has a reasonable mix of French commanders…
Although not part of the shiny world…the Perry’s always have a fine selection of Napoleonic characters…
All the best. Aly
What a magnificent line up, Ian.
I think you've scored an internet first. I don't think I've ever seen them all properly painted, arrayed, and photographed like that before. Just fabulous!
Rob, you should have more faith in Mr Hinton!
Thanks Stokes, the tiger skin is my favourite.
Aly, what makes HH different is that Marcus chose his personality figures for their uniforms rather than their popularity with wargamers!
WM, you could be right but it sure has taken a long time!
Really nice, never seen the whole collection
Thanks Will.
Shouldn't that be two relatives (both by marriage), i.e. his step-son Eugene and his brother-in-law Joachim?
Rob, yes I think you have a point there!
Superb collection there IAN- wonderfully painted- you certainly are the Gold Standard for painting Hintons. Cheers. KEV.
I’m not sure about that Kev but thanks anyway!
To see all of these personality figures all painted up to perfection and paraded is just a magnificent treat. Well done sir!
Thanks David, I've been painting these for so long that it was a bit of a surprise to find I'd come to the end!
Very nice. Looking forward to a parade of the Allies.
Yes, I think I have three left to do!
Ah, so that’s the Bessieres, Massena, Soult allocation....I had advice from the same lady who painted d’Hilliers’ jacket blue. Kev is right about the gold.
Of course if anyone has a spare or two that they'd be willing to sell? I'm really in need of Soult and Lasalle.
Thanks Nigel, she really should get her facts straight!
Rob, I wonder if Napoleon ever said that?
Such a gorgeous gallery here!
Thanks Phil!
What a fine body of generals and staff!
Regards, James
