28mm Napoleonic Westphalian Guard Cheveauleger (Elite miniatures)

More loveliness from Elite miniatures. The trumpeters are particularly nice. The regiment actually had a single squadron of lancers and three armed with swords. I've done them with two squadrons of lancers for visual appeal.

28mm Napoleonic Spanish Line infantry and Foreign Regiment Irlanda

28mm Napoleonic Spanish line infantry and Irlanda foreign regiment. The figures are from Elite miniatures except for the flautists and sappers,which are from Front Rank.

The first and second battalions of the Irlanda Foreign Regiment


The designs painted on Grenadier's hat "bags" is a nice feature. Only first battalions have grenadiers. It just so happens I've done mainly the first battalions in this batch.





There are ten other battalions so far. I think I have 40 to do in total. There are also 4 battalions of Guerillas.

Nice Polish figures from Elite miniatures. I'm playing Borodino in January. These lads were at work in the south around Utitsa.

There are six battalions in columns with one in line at the back.

They don't like it up 'em! (the cold steel, that is). Here is a nice force for the war in the Sudan. The metal is from Pendraken miniatures.

28mm Napoleonic Dutchy of Warsaw line infantry (Old Glory miniatures)

28mm Napoleonic Dutchy of Warsaw line infantry. The mounted officers are from Front Rank but the rest are from Old Glory miniatures - who do just about everything.

I love the OG figures for their animation.You can see some of them gritting their teeth in a battle cry.
