28mm Napoleonic French Sailors of the Guard

Yo, ho, ho and shiver me timbers, ship mates! Here I present you with the latest addition to my Napoleonic collection. These are the Sailors of the French Imperial Guard. They were present at the disastrous battle of Bailén.

The figures are mainly Old Glory. The mounted officer, and one foot officer per battalion, are from Connoisseur miniatures which seem to fit in with Old Glory. I have no idea why I painted two of these battalions. There is inflation everywhere these days!

The highlights on these figures are a bit too subtle to come out in pictures.

    Superbly done! A unit I'd like to include in my French army - regardless of their history.

    I see the Connoisseur mounted officer. I think that is such a neat figure. Great battalion(s).

    Very nice work. I like the animation of OG figures as well, and the price (in the US) is unbeatable! The Sailors made themselves very usefuel, and I'm sure H. M. the Emperor would have ghad 2 battalions if he could have afforded them! :-) Their standrads are sort of cool, with an anchor motif inlcuded, IIRC.
