Here's another unit from my backlog of Piano Wargames figures by Lucas Luber.
I've always had a special fondness for the Legere units of Napoleon's armies.
The 23e Leger formed part of Durutte's Divison of Grenier's Corps of the Army of Italy in 1809.
The flag is a free download from Lucas' site.
Once again, note the array of campaign items hanging from their backpacks!
Their Division fought at the battles of Sacile, 2nd Caldiero, The Piave, Tarvis, Sankt Michael, Raab, and Wagram during the 1809 campaign.
Super work and such lovely miniatures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donnie; I really enjoyed painting them!
DeleteI agree Peter - the all-blue Legere uniform makes them a favourite for me, too! Your 23eme look great
ReplyDeleteThank you, Keith!
DeleteSuperb looking unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard!
DeleteVery cool Peter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joe; glad you like them!
DeleteGreat work on some lovely figures Peter. I would have thought you had enough legere battalions already - was it the very nice Piano sculpts that encouraged you to add another?
ReplyDeleteIt was entirely the seduction of these outstanding figures, as well as supporting Lucas' further efforts. I have a couple of Ligne to do as well, plus a few artillery, and a unit each of Hussars and Cuirassiers.
DeleteI love the horn player and the flag especially.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Neil; the hornist is an especially animated figure, isn't he?
DeleteFantastic work Peter, I wish I could match your quality and output. Lucas' figures really are outstanding in their variety within the same unit. The free flag downloads and painting guides are handy too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chris. I am a decent painter, but not much more. Lucas' sculpts are superb, and the "magic wash" does a lot of the work!
DeleteVery lovely unit and finish! Superb miniatures from Piano.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mark!
