Bavarian Chevaux Legers

The first regiment of Bavarian cavalry painted - in the uniforms of the 1st Chevaux-Legers (Light Cavalry), the 'Kronprinz' Regiment - ready for the Battle of Eckmuhl.  I'm not actually sure that this Regiment carried a standard into battle but I've included one with artistic licence.  The 15mm figures are by Essex, the standard from warflag.com.





Bavarian ADCs

A couple of Bavarian Aides-de-camp to assist the Generals that I recently painted.  These are Old Glory 15mm French Hussars, painted as Bavarian Hussar Officers.

I repositioned the sword arm on this officer and changed the horse to give a responsive ADC as opposed to a charging Hussar


Again I used a different horse, repositioned the rider and refashioned his right arm from delivering a sabre cut to delivering a packet of orders

Bavarian Line Infantry

Continuing with the German theme, another battalion of Bavarians - the 2nd Battalion of the 1st 'Konig' Regiment.






KGL Line Infantry

Another battalion of British infantry (Essex miniatures) rescued from the 'lost drawer of old lead' and painted up - this time as soldiers from the 1st Battalion King's German Legion.
