28mm Napoleonic French Gendarme d'Elite

These are from Bicorne miniatures. I don't know if they are Bicorne or Connoisseur figures. Bicorne carries Bicorne, Connoisseur and Firing line. Gringo 40s do Gendarme d'Elite too . As do Perry. Not sure if Front Rank do them. I painted these because they are classics and remind me of the Wargames Holiday Center. Go visit the WHC if you get the chance. They are in Berkshire, UK, not far from London. They have a web site.

I saw someone else painted them here

Check out these Horse Grenadiers (at the back) from another blogger. I must have some. They look great in sky blue capes.

28mm Napoleonic Baden, Bavarian, Saxon trumpeter conversion

A lot of "old school" ranges are missing key figures. Back in olden times you had to make these figures yourself by converting other figures. That was part of the hobby.

Here are some Baden Hussar, Bavarian Cheveauleger (I have two of these regiments) and Saxon light cavalry.

28mm Napoleonic Württemberg Cheveauleger Duc Henry and Lieb Garde

Here are some more of my Napoleonic Württemberg cavalry. They are the Duc Henry and Lieb Garde Cheveauleger. The figures are mainly from Bicorne miniatures (the men) with horses from Bicorne, Connoisseur, Firing line and Elite miniatures. I had to make sure that the men all fitted onto their horses before getting started!

28mm Napoleonic French Gendarme à Cheval (Bicorne miniatures)

These are 28mm Napoleonic French Gendarme à Cheval. The metal is from Bicorne miniatures. These are unusually fine figures in these days of chubby recruits.

28mm Napoleonic Russian Grodno Hussars

These are my Napoleonic Russian Grodno Hussars. The metal is from Elite miniatures. You can find something about the history of the regiment here. They were formed in 1806 with squadrons from other Hussar regiments and finished the war being awarded the Military Order decoration. Later they were taken into the Guard.
