The Army of the Duchy of Warsaw (Part 2: The Generals)
In Part 1 I looked at some infantry regiments I’d painted for the Army of the Duchy of Warsaw, circa 1812-1813. This time it’s the turn of the generals. These are all AB Figures 15mm models, painted by me. All … Continue reading

“La Garde au Feu!”: My 15mm French Imperial Guard (Part 5 – The Artillery)
Just a short post this time, covering the Foot and Horse Artillery of the French Imperial Guard. I’ve finally finished the Guard Cavalry, so will save them for the next post! I painted the Imperial Guard Foot Artillery a very … Continue reading
Some More Napoleonic Reinforcements
Yes I know, it’s all been a bit Cold War here just lately, so here’s an antidote: some AB Figures 15mm Napoleonics I painted back in the spring and summer… French & Polish Above: I had a couple of Polish … Continue reading
“La Garde au Feu!”: My 15mm French Imperial Guard (Part 4 – The Young Guard – Uniforms and Painting)
In the last part of this series I looked at the organisation of Napoleon’s Young Guard at various stages in its development. This time I’m looking at the uniforms of the various regiments that made up the Young Guard infantry … Continue reading
