I'm painting a bunch of French Napoleonic Marshals, honour guards, and ADCs in 15mm. I'm missing plates for some of the Marshals. Can anyone point me at an online plate of

Jordan
Marmont
Kellerman (silver or gold breastplate?)
Bessiere (I only have an old silly looking plate for him – but perhaps he always dressed this way?)

No matter how many plates and books you have there is always something missing when you come to paint something!

Digging around I found Jordon. But I find I'm also missing Nansouty.

Did you have this already? Mine's in a box somewhere so I can't verify who has a plate

In book form, Alain Pigeard's Les Marechaux du Premier is probably exactly what you need. Each marshal has 2-3 color plates. Text is French, but color illustrations speak for themselves. In stock.

Details:

Secondarily, the Osprey book Napoleon's Marshals is also available, but does not have the specific marshals you listed, but does have ADCs and other officer uniforms.
