Light Infantry Battalion, 1813

And here the 2nd battalion of the 17th Légère, painted in December-January. This the last unit in my planned infantry division, and as planned it is rather ragged (four forage caps, four heads without headgear.

As far as painting is concerned, on this unit I only used metallic paints on muskets and sabres, preferring the use of Vallejo Sky Grey for shako plates, buttons, epaulettes, etc. Note that I was short of an ADC to guard the fanion and used a spare pioneer instead.

The miniatures are by Calpe Miniatures, from the French in March Attack range. The flag is by GMB designs. Based 4 figures to a 40mmx30mm base (i.e. 15mm frontage).

 

 

I need to take pictures of the eight battalions together. I also hope for Calpe to release their Generals packs as well as their gunners packs - I can't wait for them!
