Hi team
I have an abundance of FRONT RANK French Middle Guard miniatures and I'm wondering what other units I could paint them as.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Scott

Could use them as grenadiers or Voltigeurs, probably need to buy more front frank fusiliers to fit in with them though.

Leger, Spanish Guard Fusiliers, Etranger regiments, to name a few.

Interesting option.
What did they look like?

Maybe he's referring to the Velites of Turin and Florence:

Hi
Yes I suspect it's the Velites.
The only 'Guards Du Honour' I'm aware of in French or Italian service were the two mounted Regiments,(1 Italian 'Dragoon like' and one French Hussar like )
