French 33rd Light Infantry







 The 33rd Light Regiment was in the 4th Division of Davout's First Army Corps.

" This Regiment of Dutch origin did not have the same discipline as a Dovout style Regiment. So on the 10th of July, the Marechal had them file past, barrel downwards." F.-G. Hourtoulle
He left them at Smolensk.

French 13th Light Infantry Regiment









 The 13th Light Infantry Regiment was part of Marecal Davout's First Corps. In General Morand's 1st Division. Morand was wounded in the jaw on the first attack of the Great Redoubt.

The 13th were part of General Dalton's Brigade. The Brigade suffered heavy losses at Smolensk. Even General Dalton was wounded. The 13th started the campaign with 102 officers and 3480 men. At Moscow they were down to 71 officers and 921 men present.

These miniatures are Piano Wargame Miniatures that I 3d printed in 18mm. They are painted with Army Painter Speed Paint on a slap chop under coat with some high lights.

Prussian 1st Pomeranian Infantry Regiment

 These figures are from the same Kickstarter I backed. They were printed at 55%. So they will fit in with my other 18mm figures. As you can tell from the pictures, they are on the skinnier side. I like the way they look.

I painted this unit in the uniform of the No.2 First Pomeranian Infantry Regiment. I painted them with the Army Painter Speed Paint 2.0. I just got them for Christmas. I am












enjoying using these paints.

Wurttemberg Artillery

This is my Wurttemberg Artillery by Old Glory Miniatures. I painted them with a grey primer. I tried to use an older method of painting and using a wash. I stopped doing this years ago. I would paint the miniature and then put a home made ink wash on last. This time I put the base colors on and then brushed an Army Painter wash. High lighting after. They came out nice.

Chasseur a Cheval Legion Portugaise

This regiment was attached to the Imperial Guard at Borodino. So they didn't see any action at the battle. I wanted to paint them so that I would have the whole Legion.

These are actually Old Glory Austrians that I bought on Ebay years ago. I needed more horses for other units. They had thick paint on them that was a real pain to strip.
