I always wanted to put this title! In fact it sums pretty well the life and death of these fantastic soldiers, even if this sentence was said by Cambronne of the Guard Chasseurs. The figures are all from the last batch of exchanged figures and were already painted. Even so I changed a number of details life the blue bedrolls, flags and golden details as these figures started their life as line grenadiers and now are Guard Grenadiers.
The figures are Zvezda with two Kozak 3d printed. One of the drummers is Esci and one Officer is Hat from the 1805 range.
A good thing about these figures is that you can use them without any relevant uniform change for most of the Napoleonic wars.
Next: More British infantry.
I always hated my 70s Airfix Imperial Guard. Pity Zvezda wasn't around back then. These look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. The Airfix imperial guard are nicely sculpted but they look like grandsons of the infantry box which is in fact a pity.
