Napoleonic French Guard Horse Artillery

 I seem to be doing a lot of artillery at the moment. But here are some AB figures with Blue Moon guns.

Napoleonic Young Guard Artillery

 Wheeling out the big guns with this one. French Young Guard Artillery (AB) with 12 pounders (Blue Moon). Looking a bit more blue in the photos compared to on the table. These 12lb guns from Blue Moon are big. They really make the 6lb guns look like pea shooters.

Bavarian 15mm Napoleonic Artillery

 I had these figures knocking around for a while (25 years). Decided to get them painted up with some guns from Warrior Miniatures. The Essex figures always paint up easily. Maybe proportionally they are quite stocky, but I do enjoy the ease. Clear details, clean casts etc.

French Old Guard Grenadiers

 I think the manufacturing composition of anyone’s French Old Guard tells a lot about when they first got into Napoleonics! For me my figures are Essex first generation. This means I think they are dating back to around 1989? I decided to tidy a little bit of the old paint job (level of repaint was entirely dependent on my enthusiasm level) and a rebase. I thought these figures were going to look odd next to the newer 15mm/18mm figures, and to be honest they do. But I like them. Even though they are really short for Old Guard Grenadiers, they look more like a bantam regiment for those undersized for the main regiment. But I’m keeping them.
