Looking for figure suggestions for Napoleon in Egypt 1801 in 28mm. On unrelated note, same question for Rivoli? |
| DeanMoto | 26 Jul 2008 2:17 p.m. PST |
Old Glory? They have 1807 (bicornes, etc.) link & Egyptian Campaign link ranges
Eureka has a set of Napoleon at Arcola link |

Trent Miniatures 1796 range, look on Wargames Illustrated site, you may need to email them for a full list though. |
| Cyrus the Great | 26 Jul 2008 3:57 p.m. PST |
Dixon Miniatures has a range as well. |
| Doc Ord | 26 Jul 2008 4:36 p.m. PST |
The Dixons are very nice but on the small side. Elite has some as well. The OG range is not one of their best. |

AFAIK Old Glory, Dixon and Brittania have ranges for Egypt 1799-1801. (part of) the same ranges plus Trent, Mirliton, Eureka and Elite have figures for Rivoli although each range is far from complete |

The Dixon range is nicely done (no pumpkin heads) and has some good specialty figures (like camel corps). |

I think Egypt and Italy (1790s) are two of the newer Elite ranges. If you like big, lanky figures, they're probably the ones to get. My Elite French (1807ish) dwarf the few Dixons I have from the Egypt range. |

Duke, I asked myself the same question… Currently I have some Dixon and Foundry Revolutionary Franch that fit well together (both ranges are small like true 25mm). The question is though what to use for the British and their Arab alies? |

Eureka is about to release a complete range for this period. The first miniatures are very beautiful sculpts! |

I saw the Eureka figs at Historicon. Nice. I did not ask if the would have some with detail for desert. Any dedicated 15mm figs you would recommend? |

Black Hat miniatures have a very nice 15mm Napoleon in Egypt range |

In Egypt you have two uniform style – the standard European uniform, which was soon replaced by a cotton uniform with helmet for the Syrien campaign which was again later replaced by the mulitcoloured woolen uniform coat of the late Campaigns (when Kleber took over, fighting Heliopolis and against the British) So – you would need two differently uniformed troops. In 15 mm – Battle Honours is suppling a nice range for Rivoli and Early Egypt style and as menitoned above, Black Hat looks nice for the later cotton and even later woolen coat uniform. |

how do Elite compare with Perry an SashSaber? |

GFI/Minifigs offers a pretty complete range in 15mm, for the French and British. Tom Dye

What size is Trent miniatures compared to Dixon? Any insights? |

These look interesting and at 65p (UK)!
I don't have any but they look nice from pics of the other ranges. |

I've recently suggested French infantry in Egyptian campaign dress for Eureka's 100 Club. Maybe some people would like to add their reference materials and even join in?
