Lamming Guard Chasseurs a Pied

Lamming didn't list any Chasseurs so these will be Grenadiers with a slightly different paint job. The pioneer/sapper is an S Range figure.

These figures came together with the SEGOM Dutch Grenadiers which can be seen here.

Kirk Napoleonic British RiflemenN

Not 100% persuaded these were originally intended to be riflemen rather than just painted as them - though their bayonets are long enough to be sword bayonets.

I'm beginning to think Kirk may have been a little too much maligned - by me, among others - as while they definitely had some pretty awful figures others are perfectly acceptable.

Der Kriegspieler 187 Baden Infantry

I was slightly surprised by these being in shako rather than kasket, and the single breasted tunic is unlike any Baden uniform reference I have seen. I painted them as a generic German State infantry unit on campaign.

Alberken/Minifigs 20mm Swiss Battalion

Refurbishment of a fairly recent e-bay purchase, FN8 advancing fusiliers painted as Swiss, with the addition of officer and eagle bearer from the spares box.

Brunswick infantry: manufacturer to be confirmed

I'm not 100% sure of the maker of these figures so any confirmation would be welcome. The drummers and one of the officers are S Range, the other officer is Hinton Hunt - it is the rank and file who are a bit more mysterious. I also have some Brunswick Hussars (which I couldn't locate just now) which I remember as possibly being from the same manufacturer.

I have made other Brunswick figure posts today on the Lone S Ranger and the Hinton Hunter blogs.

Brunswick infantry: Kirk Miniatures

For comparison purposes, the Kirk Brunswick infantry figures, which have been previously posted. One of the best Kirk offerings, and a very acceptable figure.

Brunswick infantry: Douglas Miniatures

A half battalion or so of Douglas Miniatures NP6, Brunswick infantryman, led in the first picture by a Hinton Hunt officer. As they wear the Polrock (long coat) these figures are really for use before the Waterloo campaign.

Ros 25mm Napoleonics

Prompted by Tony's post on his Prometheus in Aspic blog, I have dug out my few examples of Ros 25mm Napoleonics. They looked exciting when they came out, as they were very cheap, metal, and offered normal-but-exotic things like British infantry in Stovepipes. I dithered and never bought any, but have acquired a few since.

The pictures show Prussians, a small unit of Austrian infantry, and some French foot artillery (thanks to Iain for this last picture).

Der Kriegspieler 181 Hesse-Darmstadt Infantry: painted unit

Here are the Hesse Darmstadt infantry completed from a previous post, with original and David Clayton Hinton Hunt command figures. The flag is the home brewed one from Tony's Prometheus in Aspic blog, which came along just when I needed it.

Der Kriegspieler 96 Austrian Jaeger command figures

Der Kriegspieler set 96 contained 20 pieces, of Austrian Fusilier, Grenadier and Jager figures. These are the Jager figures. The first two, officers with sword and with pistol, look to be conversions with Tyrolean hats. The hornist is very similar (possibly identical) to the Hinton Hunt one here.

Der Kriegspieler 197 Serbian Freikorps assaulting

I've finally painted up these figures which were featured in a previous post. One of the infantrymen has decidedly weak ankles and is lot long for this world. The officer is a David Clayton casting - Hungarian Musketeer officer. The uniform is taken for Knotel though there are some differences to the DK figure. I had no reference for the officer's uniform so it is a bit of a guess. The jackets look very much like Portuguese Cacadore ones to me.
