I would like to know what the Victrix 1806 – 1815 Infantry can be converted into? Can they be made into Hesse-Kassel troops for example and if so how? I'm curious to the different combinations that can be created.

I put British heads on them and painted them to be Portuguese. I have been planning on posting pictures, but have not got around to it.

Jimmy da Purple – Really – wow, would've never thunk that – I'd love to see pictures of those. Best, Dean

So that leaves you with British bodies and Austrian heads which makes…????

I am doing Baden infantry, pretty much the Austrian figures just painted differently. Main change is using spare French backpacks but with the Austrian sword/bayonet.

I used spare French arms with Epaulettes from the French pack for the elites, and leftover French Grenadier heads, which is probably wrong but it looks so much better.

Mark:

I have some spare British heads wearing stovepipe shako – leftovers from a box of Perrys that I opted to use Belgic shakos. Then again, I supposed I'd need to find use for the Austrian heads – Bavarians?

wrong helmet for Bavarians

Chileans, Royalists, Argentinians, probably some of Bolivar's rabble, but I dont pay much attention to there.

Add lasguns and you've got troops suitable for dark gothic science fantasy. :)

I had extra heads, don't worry so much. Of course I do have all the Austrian heads. How about a xylophone

Jimmy, I'd love to see pictures as well. I have Perry heads with belgic shakos.
