Les Grognards

VIVE LA FRANCE!

The team began with a core of Napoleon’s Young and Old Guard from Waterloo and later were reinforced with troops from the Western Front of the Great War and decades later from the jungles of Vietnam. Over the centuries, their shared French language and culture (and trades by owners) have brought them together as a combined team on the Death Fields circuit. Even after centuries, the elite members of Les Grognards go to battle with the cry: “Vive la France!”

This box set includes enough parts to build 24 heroic scale 28mm figures with a variety of options including standard rifles, heavy lasers, flamethrowers, pistols, swords, heavy plasma guns, communication packs, and grenades. There are also four unique head types with and without gas-masks (192 total heads in this box)s.

• Sculpting: Bob Naismith and Thieu Duong
• Illustration: Diego Gisbert Llorens
• Figure Painting: Matthew Leahy and Andy Zeck and Chris Hindmarsh

Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included.

The original Grognards box was released in 2019 and featured a 1/2 frame of 3 bodies with weapons and a separate either 1/4 or 1/2 frame of heads. In 2025 we have updated the set to be built on one full frame with four bodies (one new pose and set of rifle arms) and all the head options included on the frame for those four figures. 

Big Gerry of On Table Top provides a comprehensive review of the set along with build options, tips, and ideas. Please note this review is for the original set built on a 1/2 frame and we have now updated the set to be on a full frame:
