Hi everyone,

I managed to finish painting up four more miniatures for my French Silver Bayonet team.

I wanted more Grenadiers, a Guard miniature and an artillerist.  I want to add a bit more colour and variety within my force, so I decided to add some models from allied contingents.

The Grenadier with the yellow uniform and the big cross is the first.  He is from the Neuchatel Battalion or the famous ‘Canaries’ as they were often called. The model is a conversion from a Perry Miniatures plastic figure.

Both miniatures below are conversions.  I wanted to give the Imperial guard an ahistorical veteran vampire-hunter look. So I gave him a crossbow instead of a musket and some neck-protection!

The Neuchâtel Grenadier has an ‘over-the -top‘ holy symbol, boldly and bravely declaring their allegiance to God.

The next two miniatures are from the Front Rank catalogue.  They are both Imperial Guard artillerymen. I will be using the first as an artilleryman, since the official range lacks one.  The second with the crate I will use as a Grenadier

I have also started work on some more infantry. I will be painting these up from several allied batallions in Napoleon’s army.

In the first picture, one will be from an Irish batallion, one from an Italian batallion and the kneeling fusilier from the piedmontese ‘Legion du Midi‘.

This should breath some colour into the force.

The second picture contains a French Grenadier and two Bavarian fusiliers. I chose the Bavaians to continue to diversify my force.  The Grenadier was chosen because I want four Grenadiers in total

That is all for now.  My next post will be either some of the infantrymen painted up or a painted up monster.  I will see how my fancy chooses.

Until next post, stay safe and have fun.
