Russian Infantry Units

 Two Russian infantry units ready to fight.  Still need to add flags but these are the Odessa and Simbirsk regiments from the 27th Division.  The 27th fought at the Fleches at Borodino.  Normally not a problem with AB miniatures, but the advancing pose figures have fragile bayonets, so a drop of glue was added to the bayonet to hopefully help hold them on.

Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard Cavary

 Here are a few squadrons of the Chasseurs a Cheval of the Imperial Guard.  Nice christmas colors just in time for the holidays!  These are AB figs.

Russian Dragoons

 Next up are the Harkiv Dragoons.  This unit was part of the 4th Cavalry Division backing up the Russian center at Borodino.

 

Russian Cuirassiers

 Latest additions to the Napoleonic Russian Order of Battle.  

Military Order Cuirassiers

Ekaterinoslav Cuirassiers

 

The two regiments were part of the 2nd Cuirassier Division backing up the Fleches at Borodino.  

Russian Musketeers and Jaegers

Finished up some Russians with greatcoats.  Jaegers up front (dark belts) and Musketeers in the back (white belts).  

King's German Legion 2nd Light Battalion

 Finished up the 2nd Light Battalion KGL.  Pretty much the same as the 1st Light, though sources said they had darker uniforms so I did that.  Not sure how well that shows in the photos.  Sources also identified other minor uniform differences between the 1st and 2nd Light but as I'm using the same sculpts I didn't make those distinctions.

King's German Legion 1st Light Battalion

 Adding to the KGL, here's the 1st Light Battalion.

First pic is the "formed up" battalion and the second pic is the battalion on skirmish bases.

Napoleonic French ADC's

Just off the painting table, a set of French ADC's.  AB minis from Eureka.  

British Generals

Below are some British generals for the Peninsular Army.  Uxbridge, in the dark blue cavalry uniform is decked out for Waterloo, but the others can pass for the Peninsula.  Collars and cuffs are a dk blue but may need to lighten that a bit.  Ignore the bases, I haven't decided if I want to base these individually or with ADC's

Horse Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard

"Heads up, gentlemen, these are bullets, not turds". Colonel Louis Lepic harangues the Grenadiers à Cheval as they are forming for a charge under intense fire at the Battle of Eylau in 1807. Painting by Édouard Detaille at the Chantilly Museum.

And below are my impression of the Grenadiers à Cheval of the Imperial Guard.  Figs are 18mm AB's.

Russian Infantry

First start on Russian 1812 troops.  Mk 1 Mod 0 Infantry.  Figs are Eureka/AB.

British 12th Light Dragoons

Portuguese 1st Cavalry Regiment

Ready for Albuera

I see a few places where I need some detail, but they're good to go.  Eureka just came out with Portuguese Cavalry figures last week and due to their speedy shipping I have some ready for battle.

British 13th Light Dragoons

Just in time for the Albuera battle this weekend . . .

Looks like I need to add brown wash to faces.

Spanish Cavalry for the Talavera Battlefield

First, a leader for our Spanish Army, General Cuesta

Spanish Dragoons of the Almanza Regiment

and Spanish Royal Guard Carabineros

Talavera 28 July 1809

What to do while the snow is coming down outside?  I know, I'll set up the Battle of Talavera!  Still have a few Spanish brigades to fill and I need to add the Tagus River to the map, but here it is so far.  Troops are poised before the big French attack at 1pm.

The photo below shows the Spanish (Allied right) troops anchored on Talavera and the breastworks in front of the Portina stream.  The blue ink show where I need to add the Tagus River and the yellow line shows where I need to add two Spanish brigades.

Photo below shows the Allied center composed of British troops.

And the Allied right held by British and Spanish (yellow lines) troops.

For the French right, Ruffin's troops backed by cavalry in the hill country

And the French center where three divisions are massed.

And the French left where Dragoons and the Leval's German Division are positioned.  All the troops lined up where the Tagus river should be the French reinforcements that arrive behind the German division.

Nassau 2nd Infantry Regiment

And ready for action is the 2nd Nassau Infantry Regiment.  These troops were part of the German Division fighting for France in Spain.

Baden 4th Regiment for the German Division

Here is the Baden 4th Regiment with two battalions (white/red facings) along with Baden artillery battery

The Baden 4th served with the French armies in Spain.  At Talavera, it fought as part of the German division.
