I am trying to help a friend of mine who would like to paint Italian Napoleonics (infantry at first). We use minifigs.

Can anyone recommend any minifig infantry figures that would be suitable to use as an italian batallion of infantry?
(3d printable figures could also work since they can be rescaled to fit)

best regards
Magnus

What year/s?

The people I know just paint French as Italians.

Yeah, just use appropriately dated French figures both for Italians (north) and Neapolitans (south).

Here is my 1813 3rd Battalion, 1st Light Regiment of the Army of the Kingdom of Italy, composed of MiniFigs:

Perfekt thank you all.
Were the batallions generally composed as the french with fusiliers, voltigeurs and grenadiers for line and the carabiners ect for light – as in the nice photo of minifigs:)

And, I am still trying to sell my deceased friend's unpainted minifigs and similar items for $0.50 USD per figure and have many French if you are interested. Email works best to contact me. napoleonbooks@gmail.com.
