I have a squadron of them attached to my Grenadiers a Cheval. Connoisseur miniatures from way back. They also have always fought well. Never lost a fight.

I am just in seventh heaven over this. Gringos and Perrys are suddenly both promising these overnight! Maybe we will even get a command set. I certainly never thought we would see them in the Royalist style helmet of 1814-15 as well as the famous bearskins.

Brian, your figures are superb. I just love the grenadiers in cloaks as well. I am currently working on producing cavalry in the later sleeved cloak. Pale blue though???? Dark Blue I thought, possibly even with some aurore lace?

Give me a break:) It was the closest humbrol colour to the Osprey illustration I could buy.

Perfect!! Now, we want empress dragoons and horse grenadiers in full dress.

Glad you like them my friend!. (smile)

Kellerman…oh yes.

Post this over and over again………..

Not the Hobbits in the surtout. I am convinced the Dragoons in 1815 wore the coat with white lapels. The Grenadiers just look better that way.

von Winterfeldt06 Jun 2014 10:30 p.m. PST

In 1815 also the grenadiers did wear still their old Imperial uniform and not the "Royal" one.
So that means a coat with lapels. I disagree on the look however and find the surtout a most attractive looking dress.

"Those" being…?
[Shame the title was never corrected]

Not Gendarmerie d'elite I take it…

Personal logo deadhead Supporting Member of TMP15 May 2020 12:43 a.m. PST

The three above are not Gendarmes d'Elite.

However you spell that….

Gendarmes yes, but not La Garde.

>>Gendarmes yes, but not La Garde.

Well, thats what I stated.
Meaning, not the 'Elite Paris' Legion of the Gendarmerie de france.

Indirectly questioning, why post it here?
On an old mislabelled thread. The archivist and purist in me is irked…
