ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Thursday, 2 October 2025

The Hundred Days… Imperial Guard Chasseurs…Basing.

Greetings….

While waiting for my various eye operations to heal I have amassed/assembled a fair number of units for this project…

Some if not many I will paint myself… But I decided a good way to kick start things would to get my good chum Mark at Over Open Sights to paint a unit for me…

He has of course done a marvellous job…















The figures are a made from mix of Perry Miniatures French early and Late Line Infantry with some Green Stuff additions…

The bases are as always…

The Standard is from GMB Designs…

My butterfly is delighted…
No idea where it is taking me next 😁

All the best.  Aly

    They defiinitely look the business. I'm thinking you aren't real Napoleonic gamer until your have some Old Guard.

      I am indeed very happy with them… As is my butterfly 😁🦋🦋
      I suspect some 28mm Napoleonics may get pushed up the painting queue…

    Nicely done. You can see the unit in reserve, influencing simply by existing. Coalition forces will have to work that much harder.

      I am hoping that they will have both style and content when it comes to a fight… Unless I’m using the Coalition Forces of course.

      All the best. Aly
