1806 Bavarian Infantry.

This is the 4th infantry regiment, "Sachsen Hildburghausen" dated around about 1806. I prefer the Bavarian uniforms from around this time with their different facing colours. The 4th, in Sulpher yellow are particularly striking.  I want to add a further two line units , the 11th, they had green facings  piped red (1807-11) and either the 13th or 14th as they had black facings piped red. After 1814 they all had red facings and I think that would get a little boring. Then I would like to add a light infantry unit in their green coats with black facings also piped red. Just a small Bavarian brigade that could fight as a French ally or against Napoleon.

Front Rank figures with GMB flags.

    Lovely work Rodger! I've been toying with making a Bavarian or Wurttemberg corps using HaT 1/72nd, but have resisted the urge to add to the unpainted pile ;-)

    Rosbif I am so bad I have done the Bavarians in Hat fig's already. When I get a chance to take some photos I will post pic's of them. I would love to do the Wurttemburg troops too and I see Front Rank are going to do them very soon , so more cost for me!!

    Hi Rodger stunning figures. I'm working on Bavarians myself although in 15mm and for 1812 (should have went for earlier). Thanks for the inspiration to get mine on track again.
    Cheers
    Paul

    Top quality unit Rodger; becoming more and more interested in this period but the uniforms are such a minefield.

    Nice work Rodger. Always impressive to see Napoleonic regiments forming up under their colours!

    Love Bavarians, I have painted a fair few 15mm ABs on commission and have a shed load in my stash that I hope to get to one day, yours are very nice, well done.
