The 93rd were involved in the most battles and combats of any regiment in the French Army with 76. They were even at Trafalgar. The next regiment was the 28th Line with 52. The 93rd also had three Battle Honors.
The 93rd Line was part of the III Army under Ney. In the 11th Infantry Division under Razout.
These miniatures are Old Glory and the command is Bluemoon. The voltigeur is a Essex figure.
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.

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.
I'm back to painting again. I'm working on a French unit. This drummer is from Blue Moon NFT 207 Line Command Campaign Dress.
Update: After a small bit of research. I should have done before I painted this mini. I found out that the musicians in the 4th line had green facings.
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.
These are 15mm Minifigs that I picked up on ebay over 5 years ago. They were thickly primed in white. So thick that you couldn't see any detail of the sculpts. I originally started painting over the white primer when I purchased them. It looked horrible to me. So I put them away in a cabinet never to be seen again.
I was stripping paint off earlier painted figures and came across these guys again. So into the simply green they went.
I'm glad I did. I think they came out great. They are the St. Petersburg Grenadiers of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Grenadier Division of Third Corp.
