Posted to my blog is an eclectic mix of units, two just painted last week, and two done a decade of more ago, and "enhanced" a bit by an application of "Magic Wash"
Foundry Horse Artillery of the Guard, full dress
and the Perry version in campaign dress
Essex Old Guard Foot Artillery
and some ? Sash and Saber French Line artillery posing as a Young Guard battery.
More pictures and information at my blog, as usual:

That's the very last of the figures painted for Borodino, which runs just nine days from today. Now back to packing it all up for the trip to Fredericksburg! Peter |

Peter,
Looking good!! Any respectable French Army should include the Guard Artillery. Best of luck with the game at Fredericksburg, I only wish I could attend. John |

Yes, not the first units to paint to be sure, but especially the Artillerie a Cheval de la Garde – gotta do them eventually. I especially love the over the top uniform of that regiment's trumpeters.

Really nice Peter,
