Hi all !! I've painted 4 units of Bavarian light infantry. The figures are from Perry Miniatures. I hope you like them!

Such a recognisable style. I keep going back to the bottom picture. The chap third in from the left. Look at his collar detail or the definition of the various layers of white belting. That grey stripe in the centre of the cross chest belt. Having read his book, I try that and do sometimes get it right. So often I fail.
I know nothing of this but am not ashamed to ask. Bavarian Light must have had light and "grenadier" companies I suspect? I see green and red plumes on some.

Such excellent painting. Every time I see it I think about throwing away my brushes and paint! Deadhead,
Yes, under the post 1809 reforms, the infantry copied the French organisation of six companies with two elites. In the light infantry there were Carabiniers with red plumes and Schutzen with green. |

Thanks Artilleryman Now you mention it, the lads in the green plumes seem to be carrying different firearm and without a bayonet.
Rifle armed I guess? Was there a Bavarian version of the Baker, a standard weapon….or did one just bring one's own?

Thanks I have learnt so many techniques from your book. From these, I am saving the third and fourth images….. Purely for how to paint haversacks! The highlights for that natural canvas look….brilliant |
