Hesse Darmstadt Leib Regiment

The Hesse Darmstadt Leib Regiment was part of the Ninth Army Corps under Marshal Victor in the 26th Division. 

1st Regiment Legion Portugaise

The 1st Regiment of the Legion Portugaise was in Marshal Ney's Third Army Corps. They were part of the 10th Division.

The Legion suffered heavy during the Russian campaign. They were at Smolensk, Vitebsk and Borodino.

It is said that they were highly regarded by Napoleon.  He called them his "Black Infantry ". But he would never let them have Eagles or standards.

I asked for these Old Glory Portuguese for Christmas from my daughters and they came through.

French cannon

This is a 15mm Old Glory French gun. I painted this to unit to add to my battery.

French 18th Line Regiment ,The Brave

The next Line Regiment under Ney's III Corp. The 18th Line was in Razout's 11th Division.

The 18th received 3 battle honors and were involved in 38 battles and combats.

On November 18th 1812 they lost their Eagle at Krasne.

These figures are mainly Old Glory with the command by Blue Moon.

I've decided to take some pictures from the gamer's perspective. The back of the 

French 4th Line Regiment

Keeping with my Invasion of Russia theme, I decided to paint the 4th Line Regiment. This regiment was part of Marshal Ney's 3rd Army Corp. They were assigned to the 11th Division under Razout. 

The 4th had 4 battle honors and were involved in 37 battles and combats. In those battle they lost their Eagle twice. The first was at Austerity in 1805 to the Russian Guard Cavalry. The second was Wagram in 1809 by the Austrians.

 
The figures I used were Old Glory  FCD2 FRENCH CENTER COMPANY MARCH ATTACK, FFD5 FRENCH ELITES ADVANCING and BLUE MOON NFT 207 FRENCH LINE COMMAND CAMPAIGN DRESS.
This was the first time I used a wet palette to paint. It made blending the paint on the miniature much easier.

Soum Hussars 1812

These are 15mm Old Glory Russian Soum Hussars. Again I'm pretty happy with the way they came out. These figures were sculpted with overalls on. Which means I should have painted the pants grey. But these are my figures and I wanted them in their red pants.
