French Young Guard

I've finished the first half of my planned french young guard brigade - 2 battalions. I'll be painting another 2 battalions early next year.

These are Hat Industries models, the first napoleonic troops I've painted in greatcoats, and how fast they paint up!

The fanions were hand painted, to a design I found online - since it seems these troops had no regulation design.

I also made 4 bases of skirmishers, enough to represent the mixed formation of a single unit. I'll do another 4 skirmish bases along with the next 2 battalions, so I can field the brigade with the 2 battalions in the front supported by their own screen of skirmishers.
