I have some of these .. but what confuses me is their lack of epaulettes. Which units do they represent and how should I paint them (also what else coudl I use them for?) link link Thank you (this confusion is after 40 years of Napoelonics!) |

Young Guard Flanqueurs with wrong gaiters or Pupilles.
May be even Visla Legion.
Or Westphalian and Saxon infantry.
Or French Line and Light Infantry in Bardin. Looks like very universal figures. |

I agree sho – they look very universal! |

I'd say young guard tirailleurs, post 1812 Bardin jacket. They weren't supposed to have epaulettes until 1815, some may have had them unofficially before then. |

Thank you @valmy – I've been doing research in the wrong books. I'll have a rootle for some images |

Sir Able, I have some of the same figs and have been meaning for AGES to take some pics and ask the same question on here. So, thank you! |

Lord Hill – thank you. I'm pleased I wasn't the only one confused |
