The first new regiment for a long stalled(over a year) Napoleon's invasion of Russian.
This is the Neapolitan 7th(Royal African) Regiment.
Obviously the troops from Naples were reputed to be the worst in the Grande Armee but I don't mind fielding them.
These figure were bought from a good friend of mine, Mike at Stonewall Figures in Cornwall. He sells them at a great price and they come in pre-painted regimental bags. All I have done is touch them up to fit in with my collection and given them a coat of Army Painter Dark Tone.
I can’t imagine that the Russian winter suited them very much! A colourful bunch nevertheless.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Maybe that is why they were left as garrison troops...
